Most people here can't help you because they're sensible and don't buy into sensationalism and order from overpriced EU sites. The best source for Japanese green tea is Japanese stores.

It depends.
Green Tea Japan has very reasonable prices. I speak of them because I've dealt with them.

Double the price and probably stale versus buying from the source: Koyamaen. Other wise a descent matcha, but don't expect too much. Not what I'd call high quality. House matcha might be a good was to describe its quality. This isn't at all a dis to Koyamaen, its just not their best– as the price indicates.
