Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder - Authentic 1st Harvest Japanese Green Tea - USDA & JAS Organic - Perfect for Ceremonial Matcha Latte Powder Smoothies 30g Tin 1.06oz

This is the first ceremonial grade matcha I've tried. I love matcha anything including ice cream 😂 and wanted to try ceremonial grade the traditional way and eliminate the chemicals from teabags. Perfect, exactly how I'd expect a matcha tea to taste. I only used water and a bamboo scoop and bamboo whisk. Turned out perfect! No clumps, tastes light and fresh and leaves that matcha feeling on your tongue after drinking. Very calm but alert feeling after drinking. I would certainly buy again. Worth every penny. If you like plain matcha tea and you're on the fence, buy it!!

This is absolutely phenomenal Matcha. I've been drinking coffee/tea almost daily for the past 15 years and I've had my share of matcha before- everything from what Starbucks calls matcha to custom-made matcha in a wooden bowl at a high-end tea shop. This is by far the smoothest, best-tasting matcha green tea I have ever had. I actually have two other types of matcha that I've purchased on Amazon and this blows those out of the water, by a very long margin. The other two I have don't seem to dissolve very well and you get bits of grit at the bottom with those- no matter how you make it. I normally do matcha green tea lattes with almond milk when I use this and pre-mix a bit of matcha prior to steaming- my espresso machine does a really good of mixing the rest. No matter how much I pre-mix the others they all seem to settle out on the bottom- this doesn't. This is super smooth, very mild in flavor and not at all bitter. If you're looking to buy the best Matcha Green Tea powder on Amazon, look no further.

I have been drinking Matcha for a very long time. I was looking for a "quick" ceremonial matcha for "on the go days" that is tasty without sugar, blends well with the chasen, is creamy and gives me a nice focused but calm mind- I think this is close enough! Tips: Use teaspoon amount or less, you don't need a lot! Use a chasen (bamboo whisk) right after you pour in the water, even if you're planning on adding milk to make it a latte. Otherwise you still may get "floaties" on the bottom. I still do from time to time, even if I use the whisk. This also is primarily why I give it 4 stars. I hate those clumps! I don't fully enjoy my warm drink when this happens. =( Also the price is too steep to buy all the time. This prevents me from drinking it daily. I have bills to pay people! This was also why I gave a review of 4 stars. But yeh! Save up! Try it! It's good Matcha!!

Finally, a quality Matcha. I have tried several "Matcha" tea bags, didn't taste like the Matcha I loved in Starbucks Green Tea Lattes. After a little research found to get a quality Matcha flavor I needed to buy Ceremonial Matcha. After reading reviews for Premium Japanese Matcha Green Tea Powder I decided to buy, even though more than I wanted to pay. So glad I did, worth every penny. When the order arrived I followed directions and made my first cup of Matcha tea, a large cup. I savored every sip. I skimmed through the online recipe book, interesting recipes I might try sometime, but for now, a cup of hot Matcha tea is what I want. The company wants to be sure you are happy, I have received several emails, have happily replied letting them know how much I enjoy their product. One email had a recipe for Starbucks Matcha Latte, which I had to make right away. Absolutely wonderful. I've made it several times now found I need less Matcha than the recipe calls for. What a treat. I will definitely buy more.

Great tea with powder Matcha and avoiding plastics associated with tea bags.

New to matcha. Only thing I've ever had matcha was a matcha latte. Pretty much just a sugar syrup base, matcha, ice, and milk. I decided to try and make my own so I can control the amount of sugar, and hoping to save money. I bought this product and I have not had any issues. The tin can came intact and did not malfunction once. The matcha tastes great! Since I was drinking at least two 12oz. drinks a day (I think), using 1tsp of matcha per drink, the tea only lasted one week. So my next order, I ordered two tin cans. Both of those cans came in perfect condition as well, the tea was bright green like it should be. The shipping was quick, on time, and I will keep ordering from here. I do wish it was cheaper, but I can't rate a product on the cost when this is the going rate elsewhere for ceremonial grade organic Japanese matcha. I can't say I'm taking away a star because it is expensive. To me, that's rating my pocket book not the product. Now if I find the same quality matcha someplace else and it's much cheaper, then I would say don't buy from here it's cheaper someplace else.

I want to start off by emphasizing that this isn’t a BAD matcha, it’s just not exactly to my taste. First off, the color isn’t quite as vibrant as my favorite brand (Aiya). It’s just a little duller. I kind of suck at frothing, but it does foam up pretty nicely. However, I get a LOT of thick chunks in this matcha. All matcha is going to get swampy at the bottom of the cup after sitting for a while, but this product has a lot of thicker particles that just don’t mix. I have to sift mine through a teabag just to assure I’m getting a smooth drink. As for the flavor, it’s really not to my taste, but I guess I can’t dock it for that. It’s VERY grassy. It tastes almost exactly like asparagus. This is what a lot of people are looking for in their matcha, though, and that’s fine. However, considering the price, I like my matcha to be a little more well-rounded. I like to drink my matcha plain, as a sweetened latte, and even use the powder in baking and cooking. However, this stuff isn’t good for anything other than drinking plain. If you put milk in this, you’re going to get asparagus milk. Hey, if that’s your preference, go you, but it’s not mine. Not all matchas are this earthy, some have more mild sweetness, and that’s just kind of what I prefer.
