Premium Japanese Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder - 1st Harvest HIGHEST Grade - USDA & JAS Organic - From Japan - Perfect for Starbucks Latte, Shake, Smoothies & Baking (3.53oz / 100g)

Very Good

Love it

I have nothing to say the powder is light green which means it’s very poor quality and it tastes horrible

Extremely disappointed by the quality of the matcha, the color is very light and brownish and it tastes like a smokey-flavor. Personally wouldn’t go again for it. The quantity is really good and generous but quality > quantity.

It’s not the worst matcha I’ve ever bought, but it’s 2 out of 5 for me. The colour is dark green, not bright green as high quality matcha. Taste is like a grass. It might be not bad with milk but it doesn’t taste nice on water.

The worst taste i have ever had, thrown the bag after few attempts of even trying to get one decent cup.

Matcha color is brownish and tastes bitter.

Not ceremonial, bad even for culinary. Sludge green, lack of flavour, even with double the amount I normally use, gritty texture. Do not buy

المنتج كان مخيب للآمال. لونها باهت وما فيه الخضار الزاهي المعروف. الطعم مر وغير مستساغ، وما تذوب زين حتى بعد الخفق. ريحتها كأنها قديمة أو خربانة. ما أنصح فيها للشرب، يمكن تنفع للطبخ بالكثير، لكنها ما تستاهل السعر

Everyone knows about matcha from Uji, Kyoto, Japan. Their media machine has done it's job so well that even the bad matcha sellers can say they are first harvest and ceremonial grade from Uji and people fall over themselves buying it, especially now with the current matcha shortage. Well I have to tell you, Shizuoka, Japan is widely known as a significant tea-producing region, and it is also where you can find some of the best matcha. And Matcha Organics Premium Japanese Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder is a DELICIOUS example from Okabe, Shizuoka! Yes, it is 1st Harvest HIGHEST Grade - USDA & JAS Organic - Shade grown - Stone ground, ALL that good stuff. But does it taste good?? YES!! Frankly, all the people making "Charbuck's" sugar bomb lattes have zero idea what good matcha tastes like, or SHOULD taste like, as all the flavors are dumbed down when you add ice, milk, fruit syrups and sugar, or bake muffins with it. This matcha is darn tasty all on it's own!! The matcha powder itself is a beautiful shade of green with no yellow, muddy, or brown tones, signifying 1st harvest of a properly pre-harvest shade grown tea crop that has been processed quickly and correctly. Do NOT let anyone ever sell you 2nd harvest, or a blend of 1st & 2nd harvest is "Premium", because it isn't. I drink matcha daily, I make traditional usucha, with bowl and whisk, every morning. This morning I made this matcha...Twice, because it tastes so good. The second the water hits the matcha the most gorgeous sweet, fresh, vegetal scent of green peas hits you. It whisks up easily to a beautiful creamy foam, as you can see from the photo, taken on my kitchen counter, no flash or filters. It has a creamy mouthfeel, no chalkiness or grittiness, with very soft notes of green bitterness, fading to a delicious umami, and a long lasting sweet aftertaste. It's wonderful to find a reasonable priced matcha that tastes THIS GOOD. I love matcha so I try a lot of different ones. I am brutal about drinking matcha I don't love, ones I try and don't love get tossed into a big jar to be used in a "health" mix I make with protein powder, MCT powder, etc. This one is much too good for that. It is a rare matcha that I drink two cups back to back, and I did with this one. Life is too short to drink bad matcha, so get yourself some of this Matcha Organics Premium Matcha and enjoy it for being a really delicious matcha, all on it's own.

This is definitely not ceremonial grade while it specifically says on the packaging and that’s why i purchased. Ceremonial is deep green and this blend is olive-like green which means most of the plant has been graded into powder to make this not just the leaves. I would assume this is between culinary or premium grade. The tea from it, is not what you would expect from a ceremonial grade. But good enough to bake with if you want.

Tastes great and easy to use. I love the way it smells as soon as I open the bag.

الطعم لا بأس به ولكن توقعت الجودة افضل من كدا لونها اخضر فاتح
