Product Description
What is Matcha?
Matcha is a type of Japanese green tea that is made by grinding shade-cultivated tea leaves into a fine powder. When making matcha, we add this powder to a bowl or mug, add water, whisk, and enjoy. This is a unique tea, since you consume the entire tea leaf when you drink it.
Horai (Sayaka) - 20g
Rich & Smooth
Try Horai (Sayaka) as your first impression of Ippodo matcha.
Character: Smooth sweetness and umami accompanied by a hint of bitterness. Just enough richness for matcha fans and approachable for beginners.

Suggestions:
- When preparing your matcha, sift the dry powder right before adding water. Sifted matcha is easier to whisk fully in a short time.
- Whisk for seconds, not minutes. Whisking for very long can produce a bitter taste.
- Nothing beats the chasen. The classic bamboo whisk (chasen) made for whisking matcha has many fine tips. This allows you to whisk up fragrant and well-mixed matcha drinks.
- Sip and relax. Matcha tea is essentially tiny tea leaves mixed with water, so enjoy it before the leaves separate from the water.
- Find your favorite taste: Experiment when making matcha by trying different ratios of water to matcha and water temperatures.
- Temperature and flavor: Scalding hot water produces fragrance and sharpness. Cold water produces a misty, rich character with low foam. Comfortably hot water makes a balanced character.
- Make it a latte: Add your favorite milk to matcha whisked with water. Adjust the ratios and experiment to find your favorite taste.

I compared it to a Costco brand I had and the Costco brand was more brown, less quality, more bitter and a bigger grassy taste. I couldn't believe the difference. I will still drink the Costco brand for finance reasons but when I want something extra luxurious I'll dip into my ceremonial grade matcha

EDITED: user error, after buying proper matcha equipment it is a much better final product. Will buy again
私は抹茶が非常に好きで、頻繁に飲んでいましたが、通販で購入した抹茶は高く味も悪い印象を持っていました。
このお抹茶は、少しお高いですが味も香りも良く、とても飲みやすく感じました。
上を言い始めたらキリがありませんが、もしお手軽にお抹茶を飲みたいと感じている方でしたら最適な商品だと思います。
