I feel like it is very balanced: delicate, smooth, and gentle, yet this is where it definitely stands out from other matchas. It could be a beautiful daily matcha, if your wallet goes deep deep deep. Would not be a taste that you can get bored with, but more like simple and delicious that you would want to just drink again and again. I like that there is no after taste and the mouth always stay fresh. I want to also prepare this matcha as thick matcha, I am not a thick matcha person but this invites me try.
Manten matcha is perfect every time. Very worth it.

It looks like this one’s back in stock! Shaktea.ca has two of their lower grade matcha’s available if you were interested in trying them.. There web-store is only set up to sip to Canada and the US but it looks lie they’ll ship internationally if you contact them.
I haven’t tried them.
Here’s a link to their places reviews.

There are some reviews on this site for some of their teas but not for their straight greens. They carry some of Tsuens green’s as well.
i heard they have tsuen branch in cananda and supply to tea shops. thanks for the info and i will consider in future, that is very kind for your suggestion! :)
Fan of your blog, keep up the good work. Manten is very impressive, but I have noticed an aftertaste in my recent batch, which I did not notice before.
thank you Magpie, i will keep trying my best.
that will be interesting to keep in mind the next time i try the manten again. i am curious of the new aftertaste you found, i hope it was delicious and keeps the mouth fresh and not too strong. please do let me know :)
