I've been trying out the new Mushroom Magic Matcha Baller Edition these last few days. While I never tried the original Mushroom Magic Matcha, as I tend to prefer Ceremonial Grade Japanese Matcha, I can at least speak to my experiences with this one compared with other Ceremonial Grade Matcha I have had in the past and what I liked and disliked about this one in general.
The Mushroom Magic Matcha Baller Edition is one of the smoothest matchas I have had in a while, compared with other Japanese Matcha I've used which tend to taste more on the grassy side.

The matcha I usually get is about $80 for 30g..

The dosages of the mushrooms at 2 scoops is fantastic, the price is actually excellent. Probably my favorite ND product already.. top 3 for sure.
