Tasting the cheapest Matcha on Amazon... so you don't have to!

Matcha Nōto (抹茶ノート) is Ooika's monthly newsletter. Join here free to learn more behind-the-scenes about Heritage Matcha. This edition was sent out Mid July, 2023.

Ooika’s mission is to help make the challenging world of heritage Matcha more accessible. Our new YouTube video certainly does this!

Tasting the Cheapest Ceremonial MATCHA on Amazon 🍵 is the perfect blend of light-hearted, entertaining content with educational details.

We cover:

  • How (and why) should Matcha be properly packaged.

  • Where does high-grade Matcha come from?

  • How can you recognize good matcha from mediocre… or even bad?

  • What really is ceremonial vs culinary Matcha?

  • And more!

You’ll watch Ooika’s Matcha Miller Marc sample the lowest-priced ceremonial Matcha on Amazon and run them through the gauntlet. Are there any sleepers?

You can watch and subscribe to Ooika’s YouTube channel here. We’ll be posting videos that range from fun to more detailed education topics.
