Sources & methodology

Higher means more intense, not a quality score or liking. Overall stars are separate. 0 means not perceived; a missing value means unknown.

Where is my matcha? estimates intensity from qualitative product descriptions using research-v1. These are editorial estimates, not measurements, manufacturer scores or community votes. Missing evidence stays unknown; each preparation is assessed separately.

0 absent; 1 trace/slight; 2 light; 3 moderate; 4 strong/rich; 5 exceptionally intense. Only explicit degree for that axis is scored; missing evidence is unknown.

Original source text and editorial notes

Producer recommends savoring this matcha alone and publishes a basic usucha recipe (2g, 60ml water, 80°C). The page also offers koicha; this estimate is plain-water context, not a fixed-recipe measurement.

  • Umami · 4.0 / 5

    A prominent, full-bodied umami flavour

    Editorial note: Explicit prominent umami maps to 4. Smoothness and green color establish no other axis.

    Confidence: Medium
