My first matcha from Kettl and it’s really nice! I have gotten my mom hooked on matcha, which I count as a wonderful success :). She has now fully switched from being a daily coffee drinker to a daily matcha drinker. She likes the flavor and says it doesn’t leave her as wired as coffee or hurt her stomach as much. Anyways, she asked me to get her a matcha and knowing the quality of Kettl’s sencha, I figured I’d send her some of this and she loves it! Had to get some for myself at that point of course.
This one is very toasty and nutty. Super smooth texture and very long aftertaste (minutes). Very mild bitterness.
This was the first matcha with which I used my new natsume, which I feel helps elevate the experience a lot. It is a beautiful piece of art and I will treasure and use it for many years to come :).

Sounds really good! I will have to look into Kettl’s matcha when I’m ready to replenish. Did you also purchase the natsume from them?
It was! Yea would def recommend. So the natsume was used from ebay. Got it for a good price at $50 and it is gorgeous! Kettl doesn’t sell lacquered natsume from what I’ve seen. And anyways the new ones are usually 100s of dollars haha
