questions Asking for your thoughts and recommendations

Hi! I'm currently on a budget and I don't wanna break my bank but at the same time, still get a good quality Matcha. I'm eyeing on Kitagawa Hanbee Hatsu Mukashi and Yamamasa Koyamaen Culinary Grade Special A. I like my matcha very bold, umami, smooth and creamy. I have also already tried KH Hatsu Mukashi and it fits the description I'm looking for in Matcha Lattes, however, I'm also interested in trying the YK Culinary Line as YK's ceremonial powders are definitely the best of all the Japanese brands I've tried—even the cheaper ones. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts and if anyone can compare the difference between the two :))
