I've tried some Matcha and have decided for me that I get here a good value and can enjoy the drink. Of course, there are even higher quality grades at alternative manufacturers, but is not for me much more expensive compared our product noticeably better. My friend liked only a slight difference in the flavor (her taste both). Providing appropriate preparation of tea is not overly bitter or otherwise somehow unpleasant. We look forward every day on our fragrant and delicious Matcha.
