The verdict
Where this pick fits.
Stone-ground first-harvest matcha from Uji. Bright jade-green, smooth and slightly sweet — no chalk, no grass. A scoop, hot water just under a boil, and a bamboo whisk does the rest.
A scoop. Hot water. Forty seconds with a bamboo whisk. That's it. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
