As part of my morning tea routine, I drink a bowl of matcha because it's a super-fast high-octane start to my day. It's kind of a tricky tea to make. You need to get the water at just the right temperature, not too hot and not too cool, with just the right amount of powdered tea. I don't always get the parameters right, but when I do--ahhh! It's a warm rich mellow tasting tea that I slurp down while the water boils and I make my next tea.
I have been buying my matcha from Hibiki-an. It costs me about $45 for four little boxes, each of which lasts a two or three weeks. But recently I let myself run out. Shopping in the local Korean market I found this tea and decided to try it. (It's kind of funny actually, because the reason I was in the Korean market was to buy some kim chee for the Zen meditation retreat we were organizing. The retreat was WAY better than the tea.

I cannot recommend this brand of powdered green tea!
