YMG07 Yunomi Matcha Naturally Grown, Standard Grade 1kg Bulk Bag Yunomi Tea

This level of matcha is meant for uses such as large scale baking, or smoothies and other drinks where the color is not important. The matcha flavor is bitter which helps it stand out against other flavors vs high grade matcha which generally becomes overwhelmed unless a large amount is used.
