Iced matcha, shaken not stirred

I have found my summer, post-yoga tea!  It is the iced matcha served at the Tea Shop, In Pursuit of Tea's outlet on Crosby Street in New York City.


The matcha was bright and creamy, like a goat brie.  I hope to recreate this refreshing drink at home but I need matcha and a chashaku (spoon).  Any matcha recommendations?
