What Our Customer Say

I love having this tea with my breakfast. Everything was perfectly wrapped. It smells so delicious that I cannot wait to brew another cup tomorrow morning.

Kim Nieminen ● Helsinki, Finaland

I would like to say this is the best green tea I've ever tried. It's great for my health and I can feel it has a lot of antioxidants in it. Thank you for making such a high quality product.

Haley Stunt ● Los Angeles, California

In the past, I have tried Matcha, and I found it to be bitter and harsh. When I tried Maiko's Matcha for the first time in my life, I was delighted since the tea was sweet and not bitter at all, and I enjoyed the tea very much.
