Wonderful news from the world of Pokemon – a new addition joins the ranks: Poltchageist – a ceramic tea container (chaire) possessed by a ghost, armed with a chashaku, a bamboo matcha tea scoop.

Marukyu Koyamaen is one of the larger matcha producers in Japan. I have always liked their products; even their cheapest matcha offers an ideal price-to-quality ratio. But besides the classic blends, they have a Limited Edition section, which includes: a reduced-caffeine matcha, a GABA matcha, and the hero of this story - Matcha Marutou.
