Ummon Matcha (20g) - For Usucha and Koicha - Rich & Robust - Kyoto Since 1717

One of the best matcha’s I’ve tried, it makes a very rich and creamy matcha latte, a little pricey for what you get but worth it for the taste

Was shocked by the tiny size of the tin, the picture display is clearly magnified several times to mislead when purchasing. The real rub is then even though it’s bought via prime No return is allowed. Still goingg to demand a refund, under UK consumer law,

Nice matcha tea but a very small amount of actual tea for the price!

とってもまろやかでふくよかな香りと味です。苦味もなくて美味しいです。

Some of the best matcha I've ever tried! Only downside is the extremely small portion size that comes with the tin. I understand it's high quality matcha but for the price, I was expecting a bit more.

Not the best matcha compare to what people said about it. Definitely do research before buying since this is expensive purchase for a matcha and not from the promo videos so watch out. Overall i give it a mid tier matcha taste, the color is alright and taste is okay as well.

まず先にお伝えしたいのが 珈琲や紅茶と違い、抹茶の美味しさは好みを勘案したとしても価格と比例するのは間違いありません。 抹茶の良し悪しを構成する要素は旨味・甘味・香りの三点と、 品質においては粒子の細かさになります。 何故価格が高いかは如何に手間暇と時間をかけているかによります。 お菓子用の抹茶は当然石臼など使用していないでしょうし、機械摘みでしょう。 人間が目で見て手で摘んで、手で揉んで、時間を掛けて石臼で挽くのです。 それを理解すれば自ずと選択するものは決まってくるかと思います。 雲門の昔は濃茶で練ると格別の旨味と甘味、 器が近づいた際の香りと口に含んだ際の香りが本当に素晴らしいです。 素晴らしく美味しいとしか言えない程です。 薄茶でも少し濃いめ、3g使用することをお勧めします。 あえてレビューするものではないと思っていましたが、 この抹茶に五つ星以外の評価があった事に驚きを隠せず記入しました。 抹茶をたしなむ方であれば理解があると思いましたが、好みは千差万別あれど間違いなく最上級とどなたにもお勧めできる抹茶ですので安心して頂きたいです。

I got addicted to matcha lattes with oatmilk at a couple of coffee shops. It wasn't always convenient to go out so I decided to give it a try at home. After reading reviews I purchased this brand. The container was smaller than I expected but you don't need a lot of matcha powder to make a delicious drink. I'm actually still on my first tin. You should invest in some basic equipment to do this right. A small scoop so you're consistent in the amount of matcha you use per cup. A small strainer to get the matcha into a fine powder before mixing with a small amount of warm-hot water (not boiling). A matcha wisk is essential - so is cleaning (rinsing) it thoroughly right away. You need this special wisk to thoroughly and quickly dissolve the powder and get a nice foam on top. I decided to also invest in a matcha mixing bowl. It should be a open curved bowl with a small spout, clear glass so you can tell if you've thoroughly combined the matcha powder with the water. My bowl is large enough that I use it as my drinking cup. I like it with oatmilk so I can't comment on drinking the plain tea. No sweetener is needed if you've used enough powder for your drink. Experiment until you get the strength you like. I no longer enjoy the matcha lattes made in coffee shops. They use inferior pre-mixed matcha. The flavor is disappointing. Making it from scratch is quick, easy, delicious and calming. Easy cleanup with soap and water. My wisk dries on its little stand so it keeps it's perfect shape. I bought all my accessories on Amazon except the small tray I use to keep all my matcha equipment together and organized. I gives me joy to see that tray every day even when I'm not using it. I feel like I hit the jackpot in finding this matcha first. It's so delicious that I never felt the need to compare brands. I've had the match tin for about a year and it's the same quality and flavor as the first time I opened it. The matcha is in a little foil bag inside the tin. I always fold the top of the bag before closing the tin.
