Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought some upper-mid tier matcha before, but I wanted to drink it frequently without spending a lot per ounce. I figured I would buy a couple of the larger bags with good reviews to see how they compared. I'm glad I did. the three I compared are: Matcha DNA Certified Organic Matcha Green Tea (12 Ounce) Starter Matcha Green Tea Powder 12oz Tmatcha Matcha Green Tea Powder 8oz as soon as I spooned them out onto paper, it was obvious. the DNA looked grey and old. the Starter matcha seemed ok, and the Tmatcha looked better than the mid tier I bought for 8x the price. Taste-test. I pre-warmed a couple shot glasses, then poured exactly 1/2 teaspoon of matacha into each, then filled them up with 89°c water. I stirred each and sipped them. the taste followed exactly with the visual. the DNA was grose, the Starter matcha was "meh", and the Tmatcha was smooth, flavorful and had a sweet aftertaste. I think you could easily find better matcha than Tmatcha, but not for the price. if you want upper-mid tier matcha for a cheap price, Tmatcha is definitely the way to go. the Matcha DNA is not terrible for the price, but there is better out there.
