I’ve ordered matcha from Chado Tea House a few times now through (I got to try their 100g matcha on Amazon), and I’ve been more than satisfied every single time! — I’d say that it is the same taste. You get superb-quality matcha at a reasonable price. It’s smooth and naturally sweet, with no bitterness or chalky aftertaste. The powder is a vivid, bright green—an excellent indicator of ceremonial-grade quality and freshness.
Froth was minimal,although taste was acceptable.Ive had better Samidori for much less
Very Smooth matcha, we blind tasted the premium and special edition together. 1tsp around 84-85 degrees. This one is noticeable smoother and has a very nice aroma. It can be drunk without any milk or additives. The special had a more bitter and tannic taste. I'd add some milk into the special version but this one is great without it.
Is it worth a $10 difference? It really depends, if you plan on not using any milk then definitely. If you like your matcha mixed with more milk then the special would work just as well.
I have tried many different matcha's from few different stores. My favorite is Japanese Matcha from Chado Tea House. I have been drinking this tea every single morning for at least 5 years. I add a bit of oat milk to create a creamy taste. It is not only delicious but also packed with many health benefits. Strongly recommend.
