既に書かれた海外のお客様のコメントで、「砂粒サイズの抹茶が入ったお茶風味の水をのんでいるような感じ」「色がくすんでいる」「カフェインが多く、L－テアニンが少なく、神経が昂るようなバランスの悪い効果がある」「製菓や料理用なら使えるかもしれないが、これは飲み物用の抹茶ではない」「最悪ではないが、リピートしないし、誰にもおすすめしない」などと述べられていることを大変残念に思います。 おそらく人種や国による味覚や生理的、文化的な違いにより、同じ味でも感じ方が異なるのでしょう。 僭越ながら日本人かつ茶道を習い、茶道で汎用されるメーカーの抹茶を飲み慣れた私は、逆に「色は比較的鮮やか」「カフェインに弱い私が濃茶で飲んでも胃も心臓も大丈夫」「苦みや渋みが少なく、旨味や甘味も適度にあり、お稽古レベルなら濃茶にも使える」と思いました。 ただ、グレード的にやや香りが弱いのはやむを得ないかと… また海外の方の「粒感がある」というご指摘のように、若干細かいダマができやすい傾向はありますが、それはお点前の前に抹茶を漉す工程を入れれば解消すると思います。 総合的には「お点前用の抹茶としてはかなりコスパが高く、最上ではないが、リピートしたいし、皆さんにお勧めしたい」ですし、この無名の抹茶メーカーの製品品質と、この商品を見出した貴店の眼力には敬意を表したいほどです。 どうか世界のどこかにはこの商品の良さを理解してくれる人がいることを信じて、今後とも胸を張って堂々と販売をお続けください。

A frustrating matcha. The taste is citrusy with spinach and contains only slight astringency. But it's a very hard matcha to whisk. Even at the higher temperatures (which it tolerates well), you've got to whish as if your life depends on it and still there will be some condiments left on the bottom. It goes without saying that sifting this matcha is an absolute must. Without it, you'll have lumps all over. Though it tastes well, I can only give it 3 stars for that reason. Not a matcha to serve for guests.
