I've recently started making matcha at home and only want top quality. I love your high standards and your honesty when it comes to matcha and trust only your reviews. I've already learned a lot from you so thank you!! Keep these matcha taste tests coming!

Yes, cheap matcha can be okay for a bit, but it just isn't really worth it in my opinion. I tried a few different ones and you always can tell when it's poor quality. The powder is green-yellow and it tastes way too bitter. There are brands where you can get 50 grams or so for a reasonable price and it can last quite a a while. The taste is nice and full and I always feel so much better drinking matcha as opposed to coffee.

I love your matcha videos. I LOVE Marukyu Koyamaen. They are my favorite matcha brand besides Ippodo. They sell it at a couple matcha cafes near me (I'm in the San Francisco bay area). So far, I've had Aoarashi and Isuzu. Looking forward to trying Wako, Yugen, and Unkaku next time. : )

@@111nitya Hi there! I don't think anywhere in the bay area sells Ippodo (not positive though), but they do sell Marukyu Koyamaen at Izumi Matcha in San Jose and in Cupertino. They also sell it at a shop in Japan Town SF (Asakichi Antique and Tea Ceremony Store), and at Komeya no Bento in SF. Hope that helps!

I’ve tried a few of the blends from Naoki and I totally agree with you on the Superior blend that it’s too bitter and leaves a powdery mouthfeel, but try the lesser known Fragrant Yame for the better smooth but still delicate taste and gives you a sweet white chocolate matcha latte vibes when mixed with milk.

@@Veggiekins Yes these are very helpful! We are part 6, goes to show there are so many Matcha Powders out there, it can be overwhelming finding the right quality Matcha. So far I do agree there just alot of low grade on the market, but it can't be helped. The West isnt as popular with teas then it is with coffee therefore its harder to find good quality teas

I have tried both Tenju (Marukyu Koyamaen's most expensive matcha) and Green Mark (Koyamaen's least expensive -- I think) and I have to say that there is very little difference. This is why my go-to is their cheaper Chigi No Shiro or A Thousand Trees matcha... My all-time #1 favorite matcha and only like $60 for 200g which can last me like a month!!

For a really floral tasting matcha I suggest Mantra Matcha. Very smooth and less bitter and a unique character. I just choose the pure matcha not the flavored varieties.I get it when it’s 30% off and I’m always impressed 🌱💚🍵

Hmmm I've tasted most blends by Naoki and can understand why you may not like it. According to their website, the Superior Blend for Naoki is meant for beginners. It's meant to introduce matcha to the drinker and not too heavy on the umami. The price is also cheaper on a per gram basis! They have recommendations on how to best consume the different blends they offer. You can try the fragrant yame or the chiran matcha since you are way more experienced! 😅

Well keep in mind shes reviewing like 6 different brands, Matcha powder is already quite expensive. Its not really affordable buying a variety of flavor from just a single brand, thats not really the point of the videos anyway. Maybe in the future she can revist some of the mommy approved matches brands but if different flavors she hadn't had befote.
