I wouldn't use this for making Koicha, but I like it as Usucha (thin Matcha), with a good depth of flavour and it whisks up into a really good froth with little effort. I also find adding it to a Sencha tea or similar adds a sweetness and colour that is great to experim...(more)

I have used this a few times now, and it is certainly very effective in producing Matcha that is very fine and free of any lumps. I find it is very easy to clean by simply using a bit of paper kitchen roll. A very useful addition to my collection, thank you!

This is the first time I have tried this and I really like the flavour. No bitterness at all and a sweet flavour that has hints of sweet gooseberry in it. A very refreshing drink and one that is good value as well. The first infusion in particular is a clear, rich green...(more)

I am fairly new to Matcha, but it is the best so far that I've had - I will be back for more in due course, and will be trying some of the others on offer. I like the taste, no real bitterness at all, which is surprising for a 'starter Matcha' so I hear. Thanks to Hibik...(more)

I like the colour of the leaves, so vivid and rich. The infusion is really clear and subtly green - and it tastes as refined as it looks. I will be back for more, no doubt. Thank you for your commitment to high quality, organically grown green tea, which I can now enjoy...(more)
Having tried most of the other Matcha grades now, I wasn't sure about this when I first tried it. However, having just finished it today, I have enjoyed drinking this as a good quality everyday Matcha, and, when by accident I put in more powder than I intended, I can co...(more)
