Podcast 032: The State of the Matcha Market in the US

my japanese green tea podcastIn this episode I talk with Noli Ergas of Sugimoto America about the matcha market in the United States.

Among the topics covered are: the current trend regarding demand of matcha, a description of  the different grades of matcha, and the differences between matcha and green tea powder.

Matcha has become the most popular Japanese tea. I wonder if it will find a permanent spot in the world market for many years to come.

    I just can’t develop a liking for hojicha. I did have a delicious hojicha flavored pudding in NYC. Iced matcha lattes are tasty as well. Straight matcha upsets my stomach!

      Hi Deynise, thanks for your comment.

      I drink a straight matcha everyday with breakfast with no problems. Each person’s body is different.

      I haven’t tried many things made with houjicha except houjicha latte and ice cream.
