Maeda Shiki Matcha Green Tea, 1-Ounce

I normally get a heartburn reaction to matcha (and green teas) - Not this one! Tastes great and tastes identical to their ceremonial grade - I tried both, I could not discern any difference, not in taste nor texture. I use 2/3 of a teaspoon and use small battery-run milk frother for 7 oz of hot water - tastes great.

I cannot believe I got such a flavorful matcha at such a price point. The color, texture, and flavors completely outperform most of the (much) more expensive matchas I’ve purchased for lattes. Quality stuff here! A decently sized tin at such a price in 2025 is hard to come by. I’ve only tried this matcha as a latte—not usucha or koicha, but some people may enjoy it that way, I don’t know. The texture of the matcha is very fine, no grittiness at all. It blended up like a dream with my chasen. I enjoyed it unsweetened with soy milk, iced, and really love it. Good umami, low astringency (but enough the be tasted through the milk—just how I like it,) no fishy or seaweed quality at all. It’s a very earthy/grassy matcha but that’s what I was looking for, anyhow. Ratio of 5g to 9oz soy milk. Cannot recommend this product enough!

Not the worst matcha, nor the best. It's pretty decent in a latte, I preferred to use this one for my greek yogurt bowls, instead of in a latte. It's good, a little bitter tho compared to my other ones. But it's a good size for the price. It also had a good aroma.

Absolutely in love with this matcha powder ! 10/10 would recommend! It’s delicious!

Not enough for price but good quality, very tasty

I’ve only recently started making matcha at home and this matcha powder is better than the expensive one I bought last month. There’s a good amount that comes in the packet, there’s a nice balance of sweet and umami flavors, doesn’t lose flavor when mixed into a latte, and was very easy to whisk. Beautiful color as well

Delicious! i've only tried one other matcha brand before this, so I'm not an expert by any means, but this matcha was way better. It got nice and foamy, without hard-to-break-up clumps. The size seemed really small for the price to me, but a little goes a lot further than you think it will, so that's fine by me. I made an iced matcha latte with lavender cold foam and it was amazing!!

I ordered two containers, but had to throw them away. I try my best not to ingest products that have the California warning label which states the product can expose you to lead which causes birth defects and reproductive harm. I know I can’t avoid everything, but when I have the option I stay away. I looked at the pictures to make sure it didn’t have that label and did not find anything which is why I ordered it. Please add a picture that shows the warning label especially since the product cannot be returned.

Bought it as it was recommended by a Japanese acquaintance. It’s packaged in a sealed bag and then placed inside a sealed tin to ensure that it is fresh. I have used this to make matcha smoothies and it’s got that lovely, yummy matcha flavour that I was after. I will be using this to make some matcha baked goods as well.

Love it!

Much smaller than I expected but it’s fine cause you only need a little bit each time

Probably a mix of leaves rather than pure Tencha. I just wanted something cheap to get over my matcha latte cravings but this is not it. Tastes like the quality you would get at a sushi chain-restaurant, so yes it has that umami seaweed flavour and a bright lime colour, but it does not taste like pure matcha (100% ground tencha). It lacks depth.
