About this item:

• Sweet Caramel & Nutty Aroma: Inviting fragrance of milk caramel transitioning to macadamia and cashew depth on the palate.
• Silky & Pampering Mouthfeel: Smooth, almost decadent texture with no bitterness—purely luxurious.
• Layered Complexity: Warm roasted cacao nibs and milk chocolate segue into vegetal tones, finishing clean with natural sweetness.
• Mellow & Umami-Rich: Richer in umami than the slightly bolder Usucha Mozumukashi, but equally smooth.
