I was sceptical about tasting the jam off the spoon... Reassured by the purists, I dive in. The first one I try is Keya Jam, a marmalade made from citrus taiwanica, a fruit endemic to the forests of Miaoli in Taiwan. The marmalade is the perfect blend of sweet and bitter: honey notes come through more powerfully at the end and melt away the sharper taste of the citrus taiwanica.
This matcha is rich, floral, and subtly sweet but rounded out by mild bitterness. It's delicious drunk straight because the matcha is already so smooth, but I also find it adds the perfect earthy bite to matcha lattes.
