Bonjour, I’mam a big black tea drinker and never really enjoyed green tea. I must admit that the high quality of your matcha, its extremely delicate taste, and Nekohama’s professionalism have all contributed to me now drinking—and loving—green tea. A huge thank you. Fabienne

Green Green Matcha Goodness
My special cup of matcha every morning. Color as bright as green gold and its the first matcha I liked enough to use at home and I love how it tastes.
Will try other matcha products soon...ish. Found this one at my local cafe here in Los Angeles.

Exceptional Matcha 🌿
Nekohama's matcha satisfies everything I look for in a matcha. It is smooth, never bitter, and boasts a vibrant spring green hue. The essence to its flavor is both delicate and mellow. It is my daily indulgence. The ritual of preparing it, is almost as satisfying as savoring the drink itself. Delicious to the very last drop 🌿
