STEP 1) Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon or 2 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.

❖ Before Step 1, warm up the tea bowl with hot water, then dry it with a cloth to create the perfect temperature so make the most delicious matcha with a fresh scent while preparing. (Optional)
❖ To prevent clotting of the matcha powder, sift it through a fine strainer before use. (Strongly recommended)
❖ After the matcha is done, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it gets more and more bitter. (Recommended)

EXTRA TIP
❖ Try iced matcha: pour the finished matcha over ice.

I am impressed. This matcha is selling way lower than what we get locally here but the taste is far superior. No bitterness, smooth, good quality. Slightly astringent. It may not be as unami sweet n fragrant as the premium ones but for the price i paid, this is very good. Definitely drinking this on its own. Not gg to ruin it with milk. If this is the quality of the entry level for this brand, i wonder how good will the rest taste.

Without question this is the best bang for the buck matcha being made. It out performs matcha from other companies that cost 2 or 3 times as much. It's been my daily go to for many years. I make mine with water that is not very hot and it comes out tasting like higher end matcha than it is. The price is fantastic compared to what it sells for in the U.S.

The Marukyu Koyamaen house deserves all my recognition. I have tasted their best products and also the most basic ones, like this rich starter matcha. Excellent product at a very reasonable price for those who want to start on the beautiful Matcha trail.

Great value for the price.
It is a nice ceremonial matcha with a vegetal and balanced flavour.
Good choice for everyday use.

I'm new to matcha and I found this much more delicious compared to the matcha sold in our country around the same price. Good value for money!

As a beginner, this was my introduction tea. I drank it first time, when I came back from Japan, and I completely fell in love. Matcha tea I knew before were those bought in Europe. I never like matcha, because it did not seem anything special. Until I drank this matcha. What a difference. And still, it is not any super high quality tea. It has a very nice flavour, although you can feel a little bit bitterness.
Every time I make an order, I am trying to up the tea quality I choose, and learn to be able tell the difference between them. But I still get this tea with my each order.

This tea is the lowest of the ten principal matcha from Marukyu-Koyamaen and so it is the cheapest one. However for a very reasonable price you can enjoy a fantastic tea with fresh, a little bit bitter (but not unpleasant) taste. If you have the possibility to bing the water to a boil in an unglazed cast iron teapot (tetsubin or kama), with that water you can prepare an even better matcha without bitterness.
You can also use this tea in cooking.
