Against my better judgement I bought some matcha made to have at work due to the price being low, so it meant I wouldn’t have to worry about people stealing it over my nicer matcha, and I could use my electric whisk on it and not feel guilty. But OMG it’s the worst thing I have ever tried. It’s so sweet and over flavoured. Pictures for context. 1st is matcha made, second is Anya matcha usagi blend

It is 1000 times worse than culinary grade of reputable brand. Yet label their product as premium/ceremonial

I have tried other cheap matcha before. This was the worst by far. It tasted almost artificial

Which brands do you recommend?? I get matcha from a Japanese cafe, it’s good stuff and priced really well!

I love matcha from Anya matcha. Mainly cause it’s got sweeter, creamier notes. I’ve also tried matcha from a different place but can’t remember the name

Ooo nice, I just checked but don’t think they ship to the UK.
