Matcha reviews — honestly scored.
We buy the tins ourselves, brew them under the same conditions, and score each tin across three things that actually matter: flavour, daily drinking, and how forgiving they are for beginners.
Our current editor's pick.

Review comingA real reviews index is on its way.
We're still finishing scoring on six more tins. In the meantime, the editor's pick above is fully reviewed, and the buying guide will help you choose well today.
Three things, no marketing maths.
Flavour
Sweetness, umami, bitterness, finish. Tasted plain — no milk, no syrup — to judge the powder, not the recipe.
Daily drinking
Price per gram, freshness on arrival, packaging, refill availability. Whether you'd actually keep buying it.
Beginner friendly
How forgiving it is when whisked imperfectly, with hard tap water, by someone learning.
