I love this matcha!
It arrived quite fast and the tea has an excellent présentation and quality.
Nice tea , balanced mellow and full tasting,to note, this one is not deep steamed Fukamushi type but the regular one ,still powerful &refreshing experience, 2 teaspoonful per 200 ml of water and can be re steeped 2-3 times
my favorite japanese tea company for many years.
Great tea . Taste like honey puffs minus the sugar
Taste perfect, wonderful aroma without bitterness. the typical green tea you find in the best Japanese restaurants in Japan.
Green intense colour.
Delicate sweet taste.
Very pleasant matcha.
Excellent quality powder.
The sweetness is more in the background while the umami is more dominant. I didn't taste any bitterness or felt adstringency. Like I said, one of the best tea's I ever had!
Beautiful Tokoname I use this daily since it came
Absolutely delicious and very clean ingredients which is hard to find
Everything went smoothly! I ordered the Uji matcha in October and it arrived in two weeks—really fast (even though I’m only writing the review now, with everything going on). Ordered from Italy and delivered via Poste Italiane. It will definitely be a much-appreciated gift. Thank you!
