The verdict

Where this pick fits.

The latte-and-baking grade. Less vibrant than ceremonial, but stands up to milk and heat without disappearing. The matcha latte starter kit.

Latte grade. Stands up to milk. Won't disappear under heat. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
