Organic Ceremonial Matcha (Emerald Class 100g)

For lattes, I mix with coconut almond milk.
The higher end hyper premium blends at Breakaway Matcha are extraordinary but super pricy.
Theanine apparently imparts an umami flavor to matcha while catechins make it more astringent. If you’re looking for “liquid meditation” you’ll want an umami-bomb.
I’ve also tried this Ippodo Matcha from Amazon which was excellent too.
If you buy ceremonial matcha, it’s important to prepare correctly. Use water that is no hotter than 165 F (never boiling). Use a sieve and a bamboo whisk or an electric milk frother or you will get tiny lumps. A well prepared cup of matcha should have a green froth on top.
This video shows how the modern way to prepare it.
Yeah, both of the ones I'm seeing on Amazon are things I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on as my first very real matcha.
I noticed that this one is about 2x more expensive on their website. Any idea what's up with that? It's pretty tempting to pull the trigger on it just for that reason.
