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)USDA Organic

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.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve tried several matcha powders before, but this one is by far the best I’ve ever had! The quality is incredible—you can immediately tell it's ceremonial grade by the vibrant green color and the fresh, earthy aroma when you open the bag.The taste is smooth, slightly sweet, and not at all bitter like some lower-quality matcha powders. It blends perfectly with just hot water or almond milk for a creamy latte, and I’ve also added it to smoothies and even baking.What I love is that it’s 100% organic, with no fillers or weird aftertaste. You can tell the company cares about purity and quality. It gives me a nice, clean energy boost without the jitters I get from coffee.I’ve already recommended this to a few friends, and they love it too. If you're looking for a delicious, high-quality matcha, this is definitely the one to try. I’ll be repurchasing for sure!

Amazing taste and color. I love this so much and it’s the best I’ve tried so far.

This matcha tastes pretty good but in my opinion could have tasted more “green” or hearty. I mainly drink matcha to help with my sensitive caffeine intake. Which I tried in the past and worked good but I didn’t notice the “energy” effect with this matcha. Considering its affordability and quality I do believe it’s worth the buck.

Premium Ceremonial Matcha is slightly earthy, smooth and rich tasting. It's not bitter. I add honey and coconut milk for the perfect latte

This is a quality Matcha powder and mixes well. I was also impressed with the delivery that came sooner than expected.

My favorite matcha! It checked all of the boxes for what I look for in a matcha from type, to origin to heavy metal disclaimer. Also for the amount you get (50-100) servings it *sometimes* is a great price. They or amazon have raised the price significantly for some reason and it seems to fluctuate drastically as well. Definitely buy this matcha but monitor the price for a bit
