Tully’s Japan blends traditional Japanese flavors with Kuromitsu Kinako Matcha Latte

Even though 2020 has been a difficult year, to put in mildly, Tully's Japan wants to end it on a sweet note filled with the traditional flavors of its adoptive country with a delicious latte which they're calling the "Kuromitsu Kinako Matcha Latte"

Kuromitsu Kinako Matcha Latte

Tully's Coffee's matcha beverages are made from Uji matcha from Kyoto prefecture, which is pulverized in the store, so you can appreciate the fragrance and rich taste of matcha in every sip. Add to this rich matcha taste the sweetness of 黒蜜 kuromitsu, a black syrup analogous to molasses made with unrefined kokuto sugar and found in numerous wagashi Japanese sweets, and 黄な粉 kinako fragrant roasted soybean powder from Hokkaido, and you have "Kuromitsu Kinako Matcha Latte"

And if that combination of flavors alone isn't sufficient for your drinkable wagashi sweets fix, you can also add warabimochi pearls for a chewy and satisfying texture accent.
