The powder was really good, texture was not super smooth but I don’t mind it since the flavor was good. However, I received my order 3/12 and ordered is on 2/26 which is long considering it’s only a few states away. It was not shipped out until like 10 days after I placed it and was disappointing since it was estimated to be received 3/1. I also emailed for an update and did not receive a response.
Ordered their matcha superior, premium & hojicha out of curiosity. A year later, I have subscription of the three. Its that good.
The matcha literally says on it that there is no notes of bitterness but is quite bitter. Also, no matter if you whisk until smooth, the matcha is grainy. Its not terrible, just not the best matcha Ive ever tried.
I have a Sorate subscription and I am always happy with the matcha. I use it daily to make my lattes and it offers a smooth earthy flavor.
The house matcha is my favorite, it’s super smooth and has an earthy, sweet taste. I drink it daily!
The microfoam is so satisfying and the taste is unmatched!!
10/10
For reference, I’ve been drinking match for 15+ years. Brands Ive dabbled in are Ippodo, Rocky’s, Nekohama, Three Tea Bowls, Hawa, Matchaful, Breakawaymatcha, etc.
This Sorate Kusui matcha is so smooth it just falls through the sifter without any assistance. The quality is 1 of 1. Bold, beautiful undertones of cocoa, and the matcha flavor stands on its own with a bold matcha flavor. Its truly beautiful. I look forward to more from this brand.
I've tried about every matcha on the market. Like legit - MK, horii, ippodo, Rocky's. This premium kusui from Sorate is the creamiest, cleanest, most decadent matcha I've had. I go back to it over every other one. No graininess, zero astringency, thick and full on the palate. It's almost ice cream-like. i love it.
Love hojicha powder, its great hot or cold latte. Packaging needs to ne improved. There is a hole on the foil package but no damage on the blue container.
O RATINGS.... we ordered Matcha on 01/03/25 & till 01/19/25 no words. when order status was checked it tells us will be delivered 01/13/25 which is way pass... USPS tracking showed its still sitting in NY location. Store was called several times & they hang up saying someone will call back &for 3 days no one called back. on 01/20/25, I called store & they transfer me to store manager & very rude man came on the phone. I ask him to cancel order as it did not leave NYC yet & he said very rudely blame on USPS not us as we shipped & keep screaming at other end of the call how USPS is lousy .. I ask him to cancel order & he refused. He was informed I will call my credit card & dispute pmt as we were told we will receive in 7 business days & it's almost 20 days & we don't have Matcha. today 01/23/25 still nothing & now we have non need as we already purchased from somewhere else.
It is rich and nutty, with notes of cocoa. I make lattes with it and plan to switch my morning coffee to this. I highly recommend it.
Delicious! Best panettone I’ve ever had!
Great flavor and quality. Fast shipping. I would get it again!
I went to their shop in NYC and tried their house matcha for the first time, two hours later I was back for another cup, and one week later I ordered their matcha so I could have it back home in Texas. It was amazing 😅
Flavour of the hojicha is deep and roasty, which I love! This is becoming my new favourite hojicha powder
Compared to other 40g matcha powders I have purchased in the best, I think the intensity of this matcha matches its price point well. It has no obvious bitterness to it, to me it’s overall bright and slightly sweet.
I’m so happy I purchased the monthly subscription! I love the matcha rotation I receive every month.
Thank you Silva & Team!
This is the best matcha I have ever had so that really says everything I could say about it. THANK YOU
Great Matcha. Nice to try some new ones and I really like the planting and harvesting information.
