Really nice
very cheap looking matcha. Bought it as a gift, the label was already falling off. Not in the sealed can as it used to be but in a plastic bag, you have to pour into the tin - that is not air sealed as it used to be so the power gets in every crack and spills when closed. It just looks cheap, taste is fine but the experience brings it down
I looove this matcha. It works great for both usucha and matcha lattes. For lattes, it’s perfect—unlike higher-grade Toyomukashi or Tempaku, which are much more subtle and sweet, this one retains its grassiness and slight bitterness, resulting in an outstanding and pronounced matcha flavour.
im quite familiar with matcha now from mainly one company of various qualities, i thought id try this along with the higher grades tencha has to offer to see how it compared, i was pleasantly surprised tbh by the smell & flavour but i do prefer the other ones and would not buy again only because of that, it made a nice change to try and had a fresh taste i liked but i have just become more used to higher grades, which is not so good for my bank haha ;)
From the moment you open the package, you're greeted with a vibrant, light green powder that speaks to its quality and freshness. It dissolves effortlessly, creating a smooth, velvety texture that foams beautifully when whisked. The flavor is naturally sweet, with a delicate, mild umami that lingers pleasantly without being overpowering. Highly recommended.
