Taste Notes

Wakaki has a refreshing character and ranks among our light blends. Prepared as usucha, this tea a good choice for people who enjoy matcha with a short aftertaste, soft fragrance, noticeable astringency, and a hint of sweetness. Its astringency gives matcha lattes a little bite and a crisp character. It also works well for baked goods given its nice green color.

might be my new favorite!

I'm new to trying out different types of quality matcha and I learned that I actually like that bit of bitterness or as ippodo calls it "astringent" quality. This is perfect for that and cheaper than most of their other matcha while still being high quality! will probably buy again. in any case, i buy all my matcha from ippodo and love it :)

Great for everyday matcha lattes

I’ve tried the 50 dollar ippodo matcha the wakaki and hatsu, the 50 dollar one is the best but the wakaki is better for my budget. Hatsu has a bitter taste compared to the wakaki.

Excellent

I have been ordering Matcha from Ippodo Tea ever since my sister bought me its matcha product from Japan. I have tried different types of matcha from different price points whether it’s from Ippodo or other branda. By far, my personal favorite will be Wakaki. It is good for my son’s daily matcha latte intake to my weekly baking needs. I can taste the matcha flavor and the color of green is very vibrant for baking products. Highly recommend this matcha product.

Excellent!

Item arrived on time. Wakaki Shiro matcha suits my taste as I prefer high astringency (bitterness) when having my tea. Will buy again! Thank you!

Great for beginners

I think this product is great for beginners because it’s not bitter at all. It has a refreshing feeling that just hits you surprisingly.

I bought this Matcha for baking. I made a Matcha custard pie and it was delicious!! I will only use Ippodo Matcha powder from now on when I bake.

Vivid color, nice taste

I am new to matcha, but I decided to order from Ippodo based on a recommendation from a friend. From what I can tell, this is a good tea. The powder is a deep, vivid green. I’ve had tried both lattes and plain hot tea; both were good. It was a little bitter, but no more bitter than regular green or black tea. This variety is packed in a foil pouch which is placed inside a small box. To store it, I fold up the top of the pouch and seal it with a paper clip. Then I put the pouch inside a small Tupperware.
