Lucky to find this being carried in SG
I was hoping that someone would carry Koyamaen's Matcha in SG, and really glad that Tealife does now. Unkaku is a product I used to use often. It's a bit pricey but it ends up being a lot pricier if you order from Japan anyways, and it being delivered so fast is so nice and convenient too.
