Hi! I’m Derek. I used to have a habit of drinking 4-5 cups of coffee per day. After getting sick with a bad cold, I switched to herbal and green tea. Researching tea more, I discovered matcha. After reading about its health benefits and unique taste, I gave it a try and was instantly hooked.
I started Matcha Reviews to help others along with myself in finding the best matcha, knowing where it comes from, and having fun with it!
