This sampler was a fun introduction to River and Stone Tea’s matcha collection. The quality of matcha and brightness of the individual flavors and aromas were especially evident due to the fresh ground nature of the samples. Each sample mixed readily with no clumping after sifting, and produced vibrant green bowls of tea. The Somada Okumidori in particular stood out with a creamy mouthfeel coupled with floral high notes up front followed by an almost nutty finish. It delivered a long, pleasant aftertaste that lasted several minutes.
I got this as a birthday present for my fiancé and he loved it :)
This blend creates a smooth and well-balanced matcha. The packaging is lovely as well!
Delicious, fresh, and well sourced!
This is an excellent selection of matcha. Each flavor is wonderful and I would gladly purchase this again.
I loved all three types of matcha i sampled! they are very vibrant in color and have a rich taste! will be repurchasing!
We are so excited to be using this matcha at our coffee shop! We love that it is locally milled, super fresh, and tastes great!
I really appreciated this sampler to compare three different kind of classic tea. Usually a can of matcha powder is pricy and can't just buy to try the taste, so this small sampler (you can still try two times each) is great for me. My favorite was probably Asahi (Morning Sun in Japanese). I found it literally brighter than other two. Thank you for making this sampler!
Perfectly balanced and approachable matcha. Perfect for everyday enjoyment.
The quality of the materials were excellent! The matcha provided was amazing. I feel like the bowl and spoon will last a long time. I am getting used to the proper technique of using the whisk, but it’s fine so far! One thing that stood out to me was the packing. The box was filled to the brim with packing paper, plastic air bags, and all sorts of stuff to ensure it was safe. Inside the matcha box itself, there was lots of insulation. Simon usually packs the House Blend matcha or the Samidori.
Matcha whisk tips! Pour hot water into your matcha bowl and place the matcha inside. This prevents it from getting too dry and brittle. Also be fast but you want light pressure. To do this, you need to use your wrist mostly.
The best quality and an emerald green!
River and Stone matches are smooth, subtle, and superb. Their freshness means you’re getting peak health benefits, too!
This is beautiful, well-balanced, smoooooth tea.
A real treat--better than anything available in the coffee houses and tea rooms I've visited.
Very special and great for your brain and overall health!
Bought as a gift and my niece said that she really loved everything. It was packaged beautifully, shipping was fast , and the seller/owner was very helpful with correcting an error on my part. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.
I am new to the whole Matcha world so this is really exciting! It’s just so intricate and delicate. I love the ceremonial aspect.
