Matcha OrganicsPremium 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

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’ve been searching for a good matcha for a while, and I love the flavor of this one! The quality and taste was great for the price

First off I will mention that I had a really bad coffee habit that was going 20 years strong. I made the decision to kick the coffee habit cold turkey about 2 weeks ago when I realized the cause of many of my recent ailments was due to poor gut health and the coffee would not play a part in healing myself. I read about all of the amazing benefits of drinking Matcha and how it is a healthier replacement for coffee so I decided to give it a try. I new from reading the differences between ceremonial grade and culinary grade, that ceremonial grade would probably be the one I would prefer, even though it is quite a bit more costly. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for in most instances. I chose this Band after reading many of the reviews between all the different brands that Amazon offers. I will say that after day one, I had to read up on different ways to make the perfect Matcha Latte. My first go around was not great, but it wasn't horrible either. I used only cold Almond milk and Matcha for the first serving.The Matcha was not as sweet as I thought it would be from reading the reviews. I am not sure what I expected, but it didn't have much sweetness at all. But on another note, it also was not bitter at all. I would describe it as very smooth and almost flavorless. And it was not as easy as I thought it would be to mix the powder. So on day two, I grabbed the honey, added about a tbls., maybe a little less, and pull out my little electric whisk. This definitely helped add a tab bit of sweetness and the whisk got out most of the clumps and added a nice frothy texture. I also warmed the Almond milk before adding the Match and honey. This helped with blending the Matcha as well. I will say that I made a much better Matcha Latte my second go around. Tomorrow I will definitely be straining the blended Matcha Late before drinking. Because although whisking it vigorously the second time, I still felt some little clumps while drinking, and I can't handle that. There is something about feeling little clumps in a liquid substance that grosses me out.

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!!

Like the quality great for tea ceremony, but I feel like it could contain more amount.

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.

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!!
