40g would last me maybe two weeks lol. Still curious about this one. The umami sounds nice but I'd probably want to try it plain first.

The best part of making matcha at home is having a little ritual that's just yours. A mellow sweetness and nutty finish sound lovely for that.

I don't really care about the hype around matcha brands. If it's smooth, has decent umami and isn't overly bitter, that's what matters to me.

Okay but hear me out... rich matcha + a tiny bit of vanilla + cold oat milk. That nutty note would be PERFECT. Somebody please restock this 😭
