great price fast shipping love domatcha ceremonial been using it for years and the summer blend I mix with the occasional cup of coffee, best matcha tea ever my local stores been out of it forever so glad to find it here- thanks!

This is the very best matcha. No other compares. Even though it’s more expensive, I budget for it because it makes a huge difference in not only taste but in my wellbeing and overall wellness.

High caffeine and simply the best matcha EVER! Tried and True. And I love the large size. Ultra green. Always sift your matcha before whisking to prevent clumping.

I have been drinking matcha for decades and have traveled to Japan extensively, where ceremonial matcha like this is absolutely adored for the traditions it signifies as well as the health properties attributed to this powder. Premium matcha can easily cost $100 for 30grams (roughly one ounce) throughout Japan (and Korea). It can also be as inexpensive as $10 for 30grams, but there are distinct differences between the quality for a given price point. The cheapest matcha ($10/ounce) almost always is bitter, less fine a powder, and is a green color similar to an army green (not vibrant in color). The best matcha is smooth, very very fine in powder and is a bright (natural) green that looks the color of a bright wheatgrass. This matcha is much, much closer to the latter even though its price is much closer to the former. Thus, really it is the best of both worlds (high quality, not super expensive). I think DoMatcha as a brand is very conscientious about things like the land where the matcha leaves are grown, and the health of the land giving a healthier matcha product. DoMatcha makes another matcha powder which is not as smooth or bright, but even more economical, so if budget is a driving factor, try that green-label version first and if you find the benefits of matcha worth a bigger slice of your budget, then get this red-label version and see if you don’t also prefer the smoothness of the red-label. DoMatcha also makes a Master’s Choice available only in 30gram tins, and that one tends to be fantastic when super fresh (like just opened the can), but is less shelf stable. All-in-all, I would recommend DoMatcha as a brand and the red-label as the top pick within this brand.

I will compare my experiences with Organic First Harvest DoMatcha, Organic Second Harvest DoMatcha, and "Organic" Bigelow bagged green tea. I have not tried the non-organic DoMatcha teas, nor do I plan to.I'm currently on my 5th tin of Second Harvest DoMatcha and recently finished my second tin of First Harvest DoMatcha. They are both incredibly delicious, creamy, and richly flavored, but there are differences. First Harvest DoMatcha is slightly creamier, slightly less bitter, contains more delicate and diverse flavors, and is absolutely pampering; however, it requires twice the amount of whisking to completely mix it into the water. I never knew anything could make me feel as pampered as when I am eating an organic dark chocolate, but First Harvest does it for me. I buy a tin of First Harvest for special occasions, holidays, or when I just feel that need for extra pampering. I know that something this good for you shouldn't be described as if it were a sinful indulgence, but to me, it certainly feels that way.Second Harvest is excellent for everyday use; it's a part of my morning routine. It's healthy, it's delicious, and it gives you a little caffeine boost. The way I prepare either First or Second Harvest DoMatcha is to mix 1 tsp to 1 tbsp into what is probably about a cup of water but I'm not certain, as I haven't measured the water. What I can say is this: I like it thick, creamy and frothy. I do not add anything to it.When I run out of DoMatcha and am waiting a few days for my next order to come in, I go to my backup: organic bagged green tea (no longer Bigalow brand). I used to drink Bigalow Organic Green Tea daily, but it cannot compare to matcha in any way; it is a far inferior product in terms of flavor, texture, and health benefits. In general, bagged green teas will not be in any way creamy/frothy and will have a lot more bitterness. For green tea lovers, matcha is a huge upgrade that I recommend to anyone.Regarding Bigelow bagged green tea, I eventually learned that the tea actually comes from China, not from their plantation in SC, which greatly angered me because I felt like I had been deceived all that time. The company makes a big deal out of their SC plantation but doesn't sell the teas online or in any stores I have access to. I also learned that anything coming out of China, even if labeled organic, is not healthy due to unavoidable exposure to toxins and pollutants that run rampant in the air, soil, and water.

Good tea
