A Japanese classic, Matcha is traditional used for Japanese tea ceremonies. In recent years this tea has also become a popular tea for lattes and smoothies.
This specific Premium Matcha makes for an aromatic green tea best served on its own, but can be used in lattes too.

Update after 2 months: I judged this matcha as "premium" grade which is generally directly under "ceremonial" grade. Was told by staff it's a ceremonial grade. For ceremonial grade I can't say the quality is adequate even at this price. Even in Oat milk and sweetened it does have quite a bit of bitterness and lacks the usual nutty notes. Still great bang for buck if you view it as a low grade premium but it shouldn't be advertised as anything but that.
Great bang for buck. Kind staff. I had last minute questions and possible adjustments with my order, the staff kindly worked with me to make everything work. They even included a sampler of a tea I haven't tried yet that looks delicious! As usual, I never have to worry about the amount advertised vs what I get (my bag had 100g and then some) like I do with the current grocery store monopoly. Can't wait for them to open back up in September!
