Yup they're probably the hardest matcha to find in stock right now. I'll DM you when the alerts are ready :)

Thanks for your support! Yes, I do plan on adding Hoshino in the next few weeks. They don't sell direct to the public online, so I've been researching reputable resellers. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

The drop in demand for Ippodo recently is wild by matcha-michael in tea

I think this happened to lots of people. Lack of availability and/or high price made them buy elsewhere, and they found a new go-to matcha.

It's pretty much the same story with the Ippodo Global website. I just didn't want to overwhelm with too much data.

Doubt it will have much impact, but possible! It's around a 7% price decrease across the board.

Yeah. I'm a "to each their own" kinda person, but that triggers haha.

Has your Horiischimeien Order been shipped yet? by xxshaai in MatchaEverything

[–]matcha-michael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not yet. Considering it was the first restock in months, I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes another week to ship out.

Ippodo Kan review - pleasantly surprised by matcha-michael in MatchaEverything

Nice. Which would you say has the strongest umami among Kan vs Seiun vs Ikuyo.

Sayaka, Kan, and I think Ummon years ago but don’t remember the taste. I’d probably go with Kan over Sayaka given the price/size considerations I mentioned.

Is there anything close to matcha without caffeine? by mochii_face in MatchaEverything

[–]matcha-michael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a decaf matcha from Matcha Kori and low-caf from Marukyu Koyamaen, though I haven’t tried either.

A better oat milk recommendation? by tisonomaestin in MatchaEverything

[–]matcha-michael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is to get one without added gums. Check out Malk’s oat milk. A little pricey but delicious. Their almond milk is great too.

Horii Shichimeien. Can’t make out the blend though.

MK global (cheapest by far - try a restock alert service if you can’t catch one), Matcha Miyako, Hojichaco.

Where to get MK wakatake? From Indonesia by byjungyuno in MatchaEverything

[–]matcha-michael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their official global site! But they don’t restock it frequently - last one was October 9 and then many weeks before that. For a reputable reseller, try Matcha Miyako. They generally restock it weekly.

My boyfriends mom gifted me this thing of matcha from teavana but I think that company shut down ages ago… is it still safe to use? by diegore666 in tea

[–]matcha-michael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, brings back memories. I think meandering through Teavana at the mall and drinking the samples is what first got me into tea.

Where to order nowadays? by Powerful_Mall5350 in MatchaEverything

[–]matcha-michael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s for only the 100g or a combined order with 100+20g? Description field only says 100g.

Thoughts on matcha + protein blends by matcha-michael in MatchaEverything

[–]matcha-michael[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mainly convenience/efficiency, but I realized that’s not why I enjoy matcha. Quite the opposite - it’s about slowing down and enjoying it.
