Horai

by Horaido蓬莱堂茶舗

抹茶 蓬莱蓬莱

A notably bitter matcha that Horaido does not position for beginners. The official Japanese page recommends it for experienced drinkers who specifically enjoy traditional matcha with a firm bitter backbone.

Editorial verdict

A niche everyday matcha for experienced drinkers who want bitterness first.
