The Organic Super Premium matcha is a great deal. I tend to have matcha most afternoons, so buying the large refill is a good way for me to save some money on high quality tea. It froths up well and is mellow with a slight bitterness on some days, which I enjoy. Fun...(more)

I do love these higashi. They melt in your mouth with just the right amount of sweetness. My tea guests, not that I have many, do remark on their design as well as taste.

I look forward to late May when the shincha matcha is available; it is so good. Very mellow and tastes like springtime. I liken it to the competition grade, but the price is much less. I highly recommend it.

I received this Shincha Matcha a few weeks ago and have had some time to make it and drink it a few times. I find it very mellow with a taste that brings Spring to mind. I know everyone is different, but there was no detectable bitterness to my sense of taste. We ha...(more)

Pretty great matcha. Mild, but with character. This is my everyday meditation tea. Not overly bitter, like some other brands. I recommend it both for formal chanoyu and for personal consumption.

As a daily ritual, I practice tea. The reward is that I get to drink a bowl, usually Super Premium or Pinnacle. Both are excellent. Subtle, not too strong... mellow. I usually get the larger 120 gram bag, since per serving it is less expensive. Really excellent tea. Be ...(more)

Okay, I get that the price of the Competition Grade Matcha is a bit expensive to buy. Not the everyday tea. But, as a once a year treat, it is unbelievable. In February, it is a taste of spring to come. The fragrance is that of spring...green grass and early flowers. Th...(more)

My wife purchased this and gave it to me as a gift(yea, at my suggestion). It is an elegant chawan that is a great contrast to several "wabi-sabi" chawan that I usually use for tea. That contrast is very good for conversation during tea. All of the catalog d...(more)

I love the chawan by Bahan Sakata that I received from Hibiki-An. It is excellent for use in the Spring, with its sakura motif. I have attached a picture of the chawan in the chashitsu. Also, I am now exclusively using the Super Premium Matcha for my tea guests, as i...(more)
