Organic Ceremonial Green Tea Powder - Teahouse Edition - Premium First Harvest Ceremonial Grade- Authentic Japanese Origin (1.06 Ounce Pouch)

The difference between ceremonial matcha and culinary matcha is like night and day. At least with the Jade Leaf brand, that's the only brand I've had so far and likely the only brand I will have. I know it's way more expensive than the ordinary culinary matcha, but I'm telling you it's worth it. I could care less about the taste and texture and all that, which is far better, it's smoother, way less bitter, way more pleasant to drink. But who cares? It's the effects that I get, which is why I keep buying it. The caffeine doesn't seem to hit me as hard, I still feel it but my head doesn't get all screwy from it like it does from The Culinary grade or from coffee. My brain just seems to be more calm. But at the same time, I seem to have more energy than what the culinary grade gives me. Overall I just feel so much better, more energy and more relaxed both at the same time. I just recommend that you at least try it. Just buy a small amount at first to make sure you like it. As far as the brand, I can't really compare it with anything because I have not tried any other brands. I've only been using matcha for a few months now. But Jade leaf seems to be very high quality. The matcha is nice and vibrant green. And it works very well. So it must be the real deal. Oh I forgot to mention that the effects that I get for me anyway, seem to last somewhere between 5 and 6 hours. So you don't need to drink this stuff like people drink coffee. It's pretty strong. It only takes a half a teaspoon at a time. I only use it twice a day. I can see maybe up to three times per day but I doubt anyone would need more than that.

One of my favourite matcha brands.I have purchased it multiple times now. It is worth the price. It also has a beautiful green color and an earthy taste and texture. Would definitely recommend it.

Great tasting ceremonial matcha at a reasonable price. Matcha ceremonial tea is very expensive because of the first grade quality of the green tea leaves and it’s very potent. I usually use half a teaspoon and it’s strong enough with a bitter potent taste. I just add a little bit of honey to sweeten it up a bit but you can have it without either if you don’t mind the bitter taste. I usually have matcha lattes for the most part. The price is a little high but if you use half a teaspoon for each latte it should last awhile. Overall, I am pleased with the taste of this matcha tea for the price I paid. I’m sure there are other options of match ceremonial greens tea that are better but the price may be very expensive. I am satisfied with this option. The only thing I didn’t like it can be confusing to open the package for the first time. I will now know how to open it next time! lol

This was the first time I've made ceremonial matcha in the traditional style (2oz, 80F water). It was a delightful experience! I've read that some people complain about the high price per g but when you think about it, it amounts to $1 a drink, which isn't crazy for a premium, imported item. I look forward to trying and comparing other brands when this pouch runs out.

Probably one of the best matcha’s I’ve come across so far. I am new to matcha but I’ve tried about 3 different brands and this is always the one I crave and want the most. A bit pricey but I just assume it’s for the quality of the product. Delicious!
