I remember when these cans of Rishi ceremonial matcha were really excellent. But today I opened a new can and brewed it the same way I always do. The cup , instead of being enjoyable was in fact rather rough to get through.

Prominently bitter, a rather strong seaweed note, and very little else in the way of aromatics. I have had these many times before and they've been great, but after returning to them after getting other matches, I must say this really misses the mark.

I absolutely LOATHE being entirely negative in a review for a tea, so I will still give it credit on the fact that it is providing that same wonderful energy boost.

But beyond that , there is a rather long list of matchas I would choose over this every single time.
