Decent for lattes if you must
Marketed as ceremonial in some places but really culinary IMO. Bitter, more astringency than I want, with the kind of grassy edge that gets bullied into submission by oat milk pretty fast. Fine for lattes if you want matcha to taste like matcha and not just green sugar. Would I drink it as usucha? No. Did I anyway? Yes, once. Won't do it again.
