Steady Matcha

DoMatcha vs Midori Spring

DoMatcha sources from Kagoshima and Uji, Japan while Midori Spring sources from Shizuoka, Indonesia, giving each brand a distinct terroir and flavor profile. On testing transparency, Midori Spring (Tier 2) discloses more than DoMatcha (Tier 3), though neither publishes a full numeric ppb COA. Both brands are priced within 5% of each other per gram, so price is not a meaningful differentiator here.
