Naoki Matcha Superior Ceremonial Blend – Authentic Japanese First Harvest Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder from Uji, Kyoto (50g / 1.75oz)

Naoki Matcha's Superior Ceremonial Blend is a top-tier matcha that balances taste, versatility, and health benefits. It's an excellent choice for both matcha enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The flavor is smooth and naturally sweet, with just the right hint of traditional matcha bitterness. It mixes effortlessly in both tea and lattes, and the vibrant green color shows its quality.

I am a beginner Matcha enthusiast and I love i making matcha lattes at home (my favorite is Strawberry Matcha lattes). I have repurchased Superior Ceremonial 3× now. I am on my second 3.5 oz bag. I've also tried another well known popular affordable matcha (Jade Leaf) and I immediately decided it is better to splurge accouple more dollars in purchasing Naoki. The texture of the powder is extremely fine. The color is a beautiful dark vibrant green. The flavor is very light with a very low bitterness and a hint of sweetness on its own. It has a very clean taste. However, the flavor does get easily over shadowed by milk and sweetners in a latte. If you want to taste the matcha better you need to add more matcha powder (~4.5 grams). Considering the fact that I am not drinking Matcha traditionally, I do not need a flavor profile that is super complex like what other matcha enthusiasts rave about (often times their recs are super overpriced for its size and/or hard to get). I just need something that will be paired well when used with milk and sweetners. I look for matcha with good quality, affordability, and easy accessibility to repurchase (via Prime adds extra brownie points). Superior Ceremonial checks all the boxes to a first good intro to matcha!

Decent quality matcha with nice color. There's a slight floral flavor profile I'm not into.

First time trying matcha tea. I was pleasantly surprised that I like it. I have only mixed in my smoothie and chia pudding. Looking to try other recipes. Will buy again.

I was worried but this is amazing. Very smooth taste. Thank you so much.

This is my second order for this matcha. It is delicious, especially for its price point. I’ve had much more expensive tins of matcha that aren’t as balanced as this one. 100% recommend.
