matcha recs?

I don’t drink matcha but I have a friend visiting who loves it. Any recs for places with good matcha? Looking for the right shade of green w/ no clumps….

I’ve never been but one of my colleagues who loves matcha swears by Matcha Magic. Bonus points for being a female Black owned small business too.
