Reader Reviews
If you go to Matchaandmore, matchasource, and other websites to buy matcha, you can get cheaper than what they offer here. For 7 oz of tea costing $99 from a source unknown, I don't think I would encourage anybody to do so. Honestly, I practice tea ceremony and I buy matcha very often, most of the time directly from Japan. Because I tend to try various types of tea, I look around. However, this tea is awful!
Certified organic Uji matcha is offered on other websites. Amazon shouldn't let this product sold here.
Available from Amazon
Price: $79.99
