  $29 for 200g doesn't sound like matcha of a bargain…

        There are about 10 different brands available at my local general asian store. Some from Japan, some from Taiwan and some from China. The Japan high grade stuff is way cheaper than this rip off. Or you could go to a Japanese grocery store and it is still cheaper there too. This is probably not so good quality, hence calling it bitter, but then disguising it as cooking matcha. What a joke. It is a major pet peeve of mine, when western companies try to sell Asian products, under some fancy trendy marketing and branding and at 10 times the price.

        @Sammyboy:
        I love matcha. You need that slight bitterness and robust flavours for baking and desserts. I make matcha desserts often so I go through a lot of it and have tried many brands and keen to try more. If you're a matcha fan you'd want to taste the strong flavours of matcha in desserts. For drinking you'd go for the more expensive ceremonial grade as they're smoother and less bitter. Got taught this in Japan. Pretty much lots of different grades and colour shades of matcha so you get what you pay for.

        @deal01: Well if you got to the bigger Asian grocery stores, there are many different grades of matcha available. I've even seen some kept behind the counter in some Asian stores. Still cheaper than this though. The main difference is the cooking matcha is a lesser quality matcha. It may be older, close to the best before date. The main flavour has faded, leaving the more bitter notes left. Once used in cooking, even some of the bitter flavour is cooked off. So you could just by crap matcha for that. Colour….you wouldn't even know if it has been coloured. There are many companies that try and get away with this, especially the chinese teas.

        I appreciate good quality matcha in my cakes (and not matcha with added colouring) and experimented with many brands looking for a balance of colour and flavour so I won't just buy 'crap matcha' for my baking/cooking but good for you if that's what you like. Good luck

        @deal01: Lol you don't get it do you. Bitter matcha is an older leaf, hence "lower quality" matcha. Google it. Think you've been fooled by these tours in Japan and western companies spinning a lot of bull on Asian products, and marketing it at the Western crowd. Goji berries spring to mind here. And those $30 for 250gm of Goji came out of the same farms as the $5 Asian grocery ones. Most were were from China, but were labelled from Tibet. They are so crooked there. You can bet half those "Japan" matcha are from China, and probably just processed in Japan. I was drinking Asian teas out of my milk bottle as a baby, many many moons ago, so I think I know I thing or 2 about teas. I have a $700 Pu-erh aged tea cake at home, so yes I do know my quality teas. Unlike you I don't get sucked in by marketing spiel from Western companies ripping off people on Asian products and pretending they know better than the local people themselves who have been drinking this stuff for more than 2000 years

      Do they normally price matcha?

  Much cheaper than other deals that have been on recently. Still cheaper here (http://jfnmall.com.au/drink-tea/1152-hottaen-macha-c-500g.ht…) even with $16.30 shipping. Probably comparable, culinary matcha grown in Uji.
