New matcha tea testers needed (10-12 well known products)
This was such an interesting taste test. I was surprised by the quality gap in the samples, because I didn’t think I’d have such strong reactions (both positively and negatively) to any of these teas.

I loved reading this! I thought you did a great, fair job. Really well done!
It looks like Matcha Deluxe is showing some real promise. When I receive all the reviews, I’m thinking of doing another test comparing Matcha Deluxe with higher grade matcha teas. Maybe not top of the line matcha tea, there is a limit to how good this product is, but perhaps some other mid grade matcha. I’m looking to get about 10 new matcha teas. Last time it was top sellers on Amazon, this time it’s an open market. Let me know which matcha teas you’d like to see compared. Names with links would be great. Once we get the list of products set, we’ll look for more volunteers to test it.
I’d love to do another round of comparisons, this had been a lot of fun. I’m curious how Matcha Deluxe would compare to other well known brands like DoMatcha, Aiya, and Ito En.
Round 2 Suggestions:
Yunomi – Yamane-en – Mt. Fuji Matcha Organic
Yunomi – Factory Direct Organic G3 Matcha
Yunomi – Kihara Naturally Grown Matcha
Yunomi – Naturalitea Certified Organic Matcha Memories
DoMatcha – Organic 2nd harvest matcha
Eto En – Matcha Love Organic
Aiya – Organic Cooking Grade

Try this one for a comparison!
I second the Yunomi Factory Direct! It is one of my favorite Matcha, so I would love to see how it compares in a blind taste test.
My results just went live. Feel free to come check them out: http://buff.ly/1Jy4t5f
Thank you for the review. Can you contact me at [email protected] so that I know how actually did it for my reference and to set up the reward. :-)
I only just got my samples today so it will be a little while before I get to review them all! Excited to start though!
My post is up! You can read it on the SororiTea Sisters blog:

I submitted my results this morning, I got a post ready to go once I hear back and get images of the products.
I’m still cleaning up all the matcha that got on the counter from the testing session!
I’ve been done for a few days now, but I’m still finding matcha everywhere
I was sitting in the sunlight while doing the reviews and I could just see it floating through the air. Haha.
As soon as my computer stops being a bit of a twit I will be sending you the fancy details
And yeah, there is still Matcha all over the place! I am bad at the fine art of not having it get everywhere.
I was going to ask for some tips on how not to get matcha everywhere but, well, never mind.
I’d be the last one to have tips on not getting tea everywhere, behind the scenes I’m a pretty messy tea drinker!

Awesome experience – thanks Red Leaf Tea :)
Mine’s up! I think I went off on the rating system so my stats look messed up on the charts that were provided, so I didn’t use them.
Technically # 8’s price is different as there’s other sizes available.
