Stone-milled-to-order Uji matcha for $25 per 40 g: a creator-favorite everyday tin, though some Reddit buyers found it bitter.
Mizuba's Daily Matcha is stone-milled to order at a 100-year-old family matcha manufactory in Uji and sold in a 40 g tin (20–30 servings) for $25. Mizuba describes toasted-vanilla aromatics and a creamy, buttery mouthfeel, and says it is certified radiation- and heavy-metal-free and suitable even for koicha. Creator Michelle Kanemitsu, who has repurchased it many times (and later became a Mizuba affiliate), calls it smooth, buttery, umami and balanced, though some r/MatchaEverything buyers found it bitter, grassy and pale, and one cautioned that some of the praise comes from brand ambassadors.

From the forums.
Verbatim from Reddit, forums and long-term owner write-ups — linked so you can read the full thread.
“However, I was very disappointed when it arrived. The matcha was very bitter and grassy at first sip. I started drinking it more, and it left a grainy feeling on my tongue + bland. I couldn’t taste nutty or vanilla notes.”
“I don’t need a beer or daiquiri on this beautiful beach day, just a good matcha. Mizuba tea co. Daily matcha 💚”
“I got some daily matcha from Mizuba website last week, it’s my first time trying them since they were always sold out before. … This has very off color green and it tastes bitter”
“It is mellow, smooth, buttery and sweet, altogether, just like it says :)”

FAQ
Good questions.
Is Mizuba Daily Matcha ceremonial grade?
Mizuba doesn't label it ceremonial on the product page. It says Daily is stone-milled to order in Uji, certified radiation- and heavy-metal-free and suitable for koicha, and tags it for usucha and lattes.
How do I prepare it?
Mizuba's guide uses 1.5–2 g (1 tsp) in a warmed bowl, 1 oz of 160–175°F water whisked into a paste, then another 1.5–2 oz of water whisked until aerated for usucha.
Is there a bigger size?
Daily only comes in a 40 g tin. On the product page Mizuba suggests its 100 g Organic Signature (culinary) matcha as a similar, very smooth option in a larger bag.
