Whoa Mere!!! I just received your delicious matcha today (Sat 6/9)! There is absolutely no hype needed for your magnificent matcha- b/c *IT IS THE HYPE*. My personal take: Such wonderful and lingering cocoa notes, a bit nutty, exquisite and just the perfect amount of elevated umami, no astringency as an iced latte (I still need to try as Americano). So as an iced latte with a bit of dark agave and oatmilk, I definitely was still able to appreciate and enjoy these flavors as they never got lost- they lingered on my palate beautifully 🥰. I honestly do recommend giving Astrid Matcha a try just because it’s indubitably priceless. It’s refreshing and taste great simply put! As a side note, I’m also a fan of Ippodo, Breakaway, MatchaBar in the big bag as everyday, Nekohama, Marukyu Koyamaen to name a few. ❤️
Tina!!! Thank you SO MUCH for your feedback!! that means seriously the most to me. I'm so appreciative that you took the time to write out such a long and thoughtful response back. I'm very happy that you enjoyed it and it's met your standards. Thank you so much and I hope you continue to support Astrid Tea as I work on expanding the line!! So much more to come and I cannot wait! Thank you again 🥹💚
Thank you so much! I love being able to support you in your matcha journey and it's an absolute honor for you to trust in me. Love seeing the matcha community grow! 💚
Omg can't wait to purchase even tho I just restocked on my ippodo matcha LOL loved the brand since watching your series :') I even got a matcha bowl from the same ceramics studio!! Congrats Meredith!!
Oh thank you soo much! Yes I love Ippodo Matcha still. They're absolutely wonderful and I'm so happy we're twinning in our matcha bowls! Thank you so much for your support, I appreciate it greatly and it means so much to have your trust
Firstly, after recently trying "Matcha Sense" (on your much appreciated recommendation,) it is def a nice affordable (straight tea) option that I can work into a DAILY routine. So thanks on that! SECONDLY, that is amazing you now have your own brand! (One thing I noticed with matcha tea & kefir, as they aren't just mere DRINKS, but a LIFESTYLE lol.) I recently read that region has SO much to do with flavor, (like Kagoshima/Uji bringing "earthier" notes, (chocolate/vanilla etc,) & Nishio is more "vegetal" etc. Being a more "earthy" guy, hearing that yours has "vanilla" flavors sounds awesome! You mentioned lattes, can you drink this one also as a regular tea? 😎
Thank you so much ❤️ I really cannot wait for you to get your hands on this. I just know you’ll love it! And thank you so much for trusting my opinion, I means the most!
Hello, I have a few questions. 1. What matcha is best for iced matcha lattes? Should it be from the first tea harvest or can it be a blend of 1 and 2? 2. Do you know this brand Moya Matcha? What do you think about? 3. Should I keep the opened matcha (in a 100g package) in the fridge or is it enough in the cupboard + additionally in an airless container?
1.Try Astrid tea launching on June 1 on astridtea.com 2. No I don’t! 3. Airtight container. You can keep it in a cupboard as long as you consume relatively quickly. Over 1 month I’d suggest in fridge and let it come to room temp to avoid condensation
I will be working hard to get delivery available to you worldwide! I know that it's really important to spread the matcha love to everyone so I'll let you know as soon as I can when I can figure out the logistics of worldwide shipping without having people pay $50 USD for shipping costs because nobody wants that!
Not trying to be negative.... but not sure Astrid is the best name for the company and whether you got test feedback for it before you chose it. For most people, the closest English word they know will be astringent. So in my mind, the tea brand has connotations of that unpleasant taste and mouth feel.
I appreciate your constructive feedback! I think you'll find that Okita Matcha is far from astringent and when you try it yourself, you'll see how smooth and complex this matcha is. 💚

@@MeredithMao Thanks!! From which harvest leafs Astrid matcha is made?
@@kedralive It is the first harvest! It boasts some of the highest content of L-Theanine which is one of the reasons why we're so proud of it!
I live in Canada . I will buy some matcha when you guys launch in Canada

I too am from Canada. I was about to order and noticed that it only delivered in the US 😢
Is this your own original matcha where its exclusive to the farmers, or is it white labelled?
My own custom blend offered at Astrid Tea!
