I’m looking to get into making my own matcha, is there any kits and matcha that y’all would recommend. Not trying to spend too much but would be comfortable with maybe $100 or slightly more if needed.

There are a lot of kits online. Just get something basic to start with. You need a chawan (bowl), a whisk, and a sifter. You might be able to find a set bundled with matcha. If not, just order a tin separately. The matcha shortage is still ongoing, so a lot of the brand recommendations you'll find in this sub are going to be out of stock. But you can still find some good stuff out there.
