Last week a friend of mine asked me where they could find ceremonial grade Matcha and I didn’t know. Since I like to know everything I decided to find out. After checking out different supermarkets the only place I found ceremonial grade Matcha was at Wholesome Foods and SaveCo. But, for some odd reason, they were selling it for more than double the price it costs on Amazon. The price on Amazon was KD8 but SaveCo and Wholesome Foods were selling it for KD16.8. If I ordered it from Amazon and shipped it to Kuwait myself, I’d end up paying round KD11 with shipping so no way I was gonna pay KD16.8 for it.
So I kept looking and eventually found ceremonial grade Matcha at Teavana and they were selling it for the same price as Amazon. KD8 for the 40g can and KD13 for the 80g can. So if you’re looking for Matcha tea, Teavana is the place. And SaveCo, you guys really need to rethink how you price some of your products.

Kuwait (or me specifically) needs more Miso paste/sauce/flavor/glaze options… Can anyone recommend any good miso sauces that I can marinade my meats in?
Singarea has loads of these
TeaGschwender also sells it for 12 kd for 30 grams
Yeah I called them up before my post, theirs isn’t ceremonial grade
I just saw matcha hagoromo in Wholesome Foods for 2.850 and it’s 40 grams. Found matcha latte too.
Yeah, the hagoromo is poor quality matcha hence the cheap price and the matcha latte is also poor quality and full of sugar. Ceremonial grade is the only one you should get.
Look out folks ! We have a matcha snob on our hands !
🙂 on a side note, thanks for the matcha education.
I’m not an expert its just what i read online, when you go with poor quality matcha you won’t get a good tasting matcha. so usually the cheap matcha is used for cooking, blending, lattes etc..

LuLu in Dajeej has this tea . it’s about KD 3 for the box of tea.
