I had matcha at every chance I got there

Ordered Grenzo Ceremonial matcha few days back as their ad popped on my insta and the price was low. I ordered 50gms pack and it got delivered. Extremely fast delivery though I'm currently in my small town. I've just tried it now and liked. Color seemed not too greenish and I did not have high expectations to begin with but was pleasantly surprised. It's not too bitter or chalky, it felt balanced and I think I can have it with little to no sugar on most days. I have previously used Kamashh N5 and Sado Uji Matcha. Sado is a no as very less quantity and you have to add a lot of powder to feel the matcha. Kamash was ok - 5/10 imo.

Been to Teka yesterday and lovedddd it.
Firstly, they've done a great job with the Japan aesthetics for the place.
I tried their Matcha Kumo Latte, Matcha Latte, Usucha and Egg Sando
Matcha is veryy good. I've had similar matcha at Eventide, Chennai.
Staff however didn't seem that approachable. They neither had any recommendations, just take the order, serve and back to business. Nothing wrong with that but I felt they could have been a little approachable.
Did not like the egg sando though as the bread wasn't fresh or soft. My cousin had azuki matcha and edamame sando. She said matcha overpowered the azuki flavor but it wasn't bad but the food is a no.
8/10 will go again for the matcha/hojicha

Matcha I got from Uji is about to be finished so I got Kamash Matcha because this sub recommended it. Like the kamash Matcha but definitely not comparable to the uji matcha.
Uji Matcha is very strong and bitter and quality just feels good obviously.
Kamash one felt a bit lighter, notes really didn't hit right. Both whisked in warm water

Tried Midori Matcha Bar (Bangalore) a couple of weeks back and their pomegranate matcha was veryy good. However, it's a 7/10 for me overall. Liked their classic matcha latte.
Hojicha was very sweet and so was the matcha ice cream (didn't really have matcha flavor)
It's decent but not the best one imo
Owners were friendly and place is tiny but is veryyy cute. I would certainly go back :)

It's been a month since my Japan trip. I've had matcha there almost everyday and I crave it so much. So I've been trying out different matcha places here in bangalore and I've seen lot of recommendations for sakura matcha bar so went there yesterday. I've tried the sesame matcha and their OG matcha latte. Both are veryyy good. Sesame was a tad bit overpowering but it was very different and I liked it. The OG is a classic matcha latte, I've had it with extra matcha shot (no additional charge) and it's very very close to the matcha I've got from japan. Bitter, not overly sweet when mixed and strong. Will definitely go again. 8/10 recommended 🥰
