"I was very happy to be getting this matcha after trying a not so good one that was very bitter and bland. When I smelled the matcha it had this smell that was kind of like grass or woody sent, and when I made it into usucha it was very astringent and bland. When made into koicha it was very bitter, I was disappointed because I got this matcha to make usucha but the flavor isn’t right for that. Overall the flavor wasn’t there, and would not purchase again."
"I like this"
"Amazing matcha, I think its worth the price knowing there's a matcha shortage going on. Authentic, nutty, and chocolate-y notes. A little thick when whisked. Buying again!"
"nice quality"
"amazing quality"
"Excellent, it’s creamy and naturally sweet. Love it!"
"This matcha has a very balanced flavor. It makes a very creamy matcha latte especially when cold whisked. It’s very smooth."
"As someone who drinks matcha every day and has tried quite a few in market, I really enjoy this one! It’s smooth, a bit nutty and perfectly rich but not overpowering! Love it. It’s a re-purchase for me!"
"This matcha powder is nice, but really not that special. Hardly any umami even as a koicha, wasn’t really unique in any way. It gets the job done without impressing. If this were a $30 product, it would be a 3/5. But at $52 it’s badly overpriced. Loses a star for that and I won’t be buying again."
"I love this matcha. Very rich and umami. A bit pricey but with $20 discount I’m not complaining"
