### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clumpy, but good flavor
*by J***C on May 8, 2026*

I'm new to drinking matcha at home, so this was only the second one I've ever tried. It's much better than the overpriced organic matcha I tried before it - at sale price, the Kiyo Wakyo has roughly the same cost per ounce, and at full price, it's ~35% more expensive per ounce). The color is a lovely bright green, and there is a strong aroma of roasted nori. It's creamy and smooth, grassy (but not terribly so) and somewhat nutty, with a slight bitterness and almost no astringency. It foams up quite easily, but it also clumps easily, even after sifting - there were little nuggets of matcha powder at the bottom of my chawan that adding more hot water couldn't disperse. So it's smooth until you get to the bottom, where it becomes a bit grainy. That's the one advantage the other matcha has over this one, it never clumped, and it dissolved a bit more readily. I may look for something more affordable to make lattes with, but for usucha and koicha drinking, Wakyo is great. One other thing, the matcha comes sealed in a bag inside the canister. The powder sticks to the bag, especially in the corners. The other matcha I tried did not come in a bag. I suppose the bag is a good thing, maybe the other matcha wasn't fresh? (I don't remember if it was sealed or wrapped in plastic in anyway.) But I do feel bad about how much gets wasted because of the bag.
