I know probably sat somewhere in Osaka being served one is probably ideal but...

Buy online here - best quality (sod the price)

Certainly not in a tourist spot temple (tea ceremony at the temple by Himeji-jo was a big mistake I regret).

In this country you are really talking Japan Centre though it looks like a lot are out of stock unless you want sweetened pre-mix drinks. This is assuming you want pure matcha (which is slightly bitter) and not a blend or sweetened version (which you will note is also available in Japan, not just in the west).

Why would you want that? It tastes like ass.

However for the wannabe green tea aficionados in the the UK - water doesn't want to be boiling. 80C is enough.

Beyond that green tea tastes 'fishy'.

I've bought from Amazon before, there's a good choice. I don't like it much as tea though. I like matcha latte, ice cream and so on.

I’d much rather eat ass than drink green tea. Matcha itself is too much effort for the reward, albeit I do like a dirty matcha (maybe there’s a theme here) and matcha based deserts.

hehe

It's not that bad. I quite enjoyed my jasmine pearls earlier.

However there wasn't much else in.
