Absolutely love this brand of matcha. Its much better than the 'Borovela' brand that I normally buy.
Its rare to see it on sale in any capacity, so I usually stock up on a few packets when its discounted.
Hope you enjoy!

What expiry date did you get on your orders?
There are many grades out there. But premium quality match powder can go for 1-2g per dollar. You can check on its quality by looking at the colour (intensive bright green). Most of the cheap matcha I bought have this pale green.
Yeh, seems pretty pricey still for what I assume is culinary grade.
Missus got the Saikou one for around $11 or $12 which is the same as Borovela (same parent company, I assume exactly the same product too)
I like how Umami describes their product as "reasonable matcha powder"
it sounds funny when they claim "high quality and reasonable matcha powder"
This one is 'culinary grade'.
Still drinkable and good, a bit bitter.
There are many grades of matcha, and prices vary a lot. Matcha from Uji is highly regarded and currently there is a huge matcha shortage…even in Japan, one brand mostly out of stock and other brands limit one matcha product per person. Look for the vibrant green colour. The dull green tends to taste grassy.
I recently bought this one which was 500g for $36 which works out to less than a quarter of this price. I think it's similar quality?
