no fancy syrups no 10 step recipe. just whisk and drink lol. that's the whole appeal for me. simple tea done well is honestly underrated

30g is a small tin, especially for daily drinking. Still, I'd rather have a fresh smaller batch than let a huge bag sit around for months.

My ideal matcha isn't the strongest one. It's the cup I can enjoy slowly without adding anything. Nishi no Mori sounds pretty close to that.

ngl the fact that its made for usucha got my attention. i dont always want milk in my tea yk?? just matcha and water is enough sometimes

E

Would probably use 2g with 70ml water to start. I like that it's actually positioned for usucha instead of being marketed as perfect for literally everything.
