Quality better than average supermarket brands, the Uji matcha is richer in matcha taste and color.
However, it lacks sweetness, I add more sweetness to taste.
Adding hot water is not delicious and creamy as adding hot milk. I feel it is missing some kick with water. Hot milk brings out the matcha flavor more. Texture is thicker when adding milk.
Recommend for those who do not like sweetness.
I would prefer it to have more matcha taste and more sweetness. For me, it is not an instant drink because there is something missing in the balance, I would have to tweak it a little when preparing. When done, it is enjoyable and a relaxing hot drink. Bubbly and delicious. Individually wrapped is easy to carry and it was a good price for 20 sachets.
TOO BITTER!
