❖ To ensure a smooth, lump-free tea, sift the matcha powder through a fine strainer before use. (Strongly recommended)

It's very tasty for me. I feel like fresh after drinking.

Very pleasant, full-bodied matcha. I experimented with the temperature a little. With 85+ degrees water, it is sweet and completely free of any tartness. There is some mild astringency with lower, 75 degrees water, but the tea is extra nutty and very creamy, which is a big plus for me. Highly recommended!

I was pretty disappointed with this one. As a disclaimer, it does much better at higher water temps, around 85°C, below this and it gains a bitterness in the back of the palate that takes over the taste and lingers longer than it should. At higher temps, this bitterness fades but so does the taste. There IS a slight snappy green taste reminiscent of grass and snap peas and it's juxtaposed well by a taste of farm fresh greens that lingers near the front of the tongue, but there's a medicinal bitterness that sits at the back of the throat regardless how it is brewed that takes over and masks this taste. It's just at higher temps, it's more tolerable. This is a matcha I've spent many bowls trying to chase a certain "sweet spot" of flavor that tastes like it SHOULD be there, but it never comes to fruition.

Not bad but a little less exciting than I expected. The flavor did not have a lot of depth and it was slightly bitter.
