I’m loving this matcha. Thank you so much, Derk. I’ve had it both as a latte and the traditional way. 2-3 chashaku scoops, through a sieve. ~2 oz water to make a paste, then whisked another 2 oz. (175°F). A bright green powder, finely ground, full-bodied grassy aroma… And when prepared in a syrup form (koicha) no bitterness, pure umami, very smooth, foamy, silky, light lingering sweetness.
Note: My local USPS isn’t delivering packages anymore even though we have a locker. In fact, they are just sending packages back… So much for buying any tea online for now especially international. I hope all of you are safe and happy.
Flavors: Sweet, Umami

That’s wild USPS isn’t delivering. Are you in a particularly hard hit area?
That seems illegal, especially if they are just sending the packages back instead of at least handing you a card saying it will wait at the PO for you…
Derk, unfortunately, I am in a very hard-hit area. :(
Tea-sipper, Yup. This is what they do… They put final notice in my mailbox (and it is always the 1st), & refuse to put it in the locker right there OR redeliver it when I request, and sometimes they hold it & other times, they just send it back. I’ve made countless of complaints. >.<
ah ok, but still, it seems ridiculous even for these times.
tea-sipper Absolutely ridiculous! It took me literally a month to find one of two packages. I had finally bought some Bird & Blend Tea and was so excited only for this post office to send me on a wild goose chase. They are nice, as they are re-sending me the second package. I believe the original on it’s way back to their place. It’s almost 100% sure than anything international will never make it here without some serious detective work lol. I had this problem with my last TeaVivre shipment. It’s not their fault, it’s my post office.
I went to Wazuka last fall! Obubu is located there. :D
