The amount of joy I have creating my daily matcha with the essentials set makes this absolutely worth it - the glass bowl is beautiful, the whisk is so satisfying and the matcha. Ah! The matcha! It tastes like Kyoto - vibrant, creamy with a fresh aftertaste. No more bitter, grass-tasting or over-sugared fake matcha lattes, this is the real deal and you can tell by looking at how vibrant and smooth the powder is. It's an absolute delight, will definitely be ordering more.
What I think it's missing is a beautiful dark amber glass container for the matcha to be stored in - I found one in my pantry and it's much nicer (and easier) to scoop out the matcha from that rather than the pouch.
Thank you Maison Koko!! You're my new favourite x

It's been more than a year since I have replaced coffee with matcha, a more healthier caffeine alternative and better overall for the gut microbiome.
I have tried many, so called authentic japanese matcha brands, but Maison Koko Yame is superior! It is very smooth and mellow, with a slight sweet aftertaste. The vivid bright green color is a joy to behold in a clear vessel. Absolutely lovely and thank you for making this so accessible!

This one is by far the best! From the moment I opened the package, I could tell it was premium quality. The matcha has a rich, vibrant green colour and a smooth, earthy aroma that’s just so inviting. When mixed with oatmilk, it creates the perfect creamy, frothy latte that’s not too sweet but still incredibly satisfying. It’s the perfect combination of smooth, slightly grassy notes with just the right amount of creaminess. It’s a great way to enjoy a café-quality matcha latte at home.
