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)

Price is high, but the flavor is very good, smooth, and has no bitterness. The color is deep emerald. Full of good stuff!

The media could not be loaded. Tried the matcha tin can first and really enjoyed it so I bought the bulk bag! What I love most about it is the smooth taste and beautiful color. It also has a great froth when blended which adds to the experience and of course I love the caffeine kick lol I would get this matcha if you're looking for a high quality matcha for an affordable price and taste that you can depend on. 🤌🏾

The media could not be loaded. I have purchased this matcha twice now, and as a coffee and matcha snob I can say it's the best one I've ever had. Most matcha is grassy, grainy, and not very vibrant, but this one's different. It always dissolves well and doesn't settle, and its got a good earthy flavor and bright color.Personally I make hot and iced lattes, and my favorite recently has been an iced raspberry latte (seen above). This stuff is very good with honey or some kind of sweetener or flavor, or plain if you like it stronger.It also takes months to use it up because you only use about a teaspoon of powder each time, so I think that it is totally worth the price, ESPECIALLY if you were spending a lot on matchas like I was.

Okay for the price, but the one I bought from Tealyra is slightly better overall, in my opinion.(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E7AQRYW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Tealyra is "premium grade" which is slightly lower than ceremonial grade apparently. If this one is truly ceremonial, it should be better than the Tealyra one (it is slightly darker, see pics). This one is better because of the organic certification and they claim to test for lead and radiation, but the Tealyra one has a more vibrant green color. Both are 4 oz for a similar price. Good taste, blends good. If your priority is organic, go for this one. Seems decent enough, and you get a lot for the price.

The media could not be loaded. I LOVE IT!!! Amazing! No gritty taste, very smooth! slight bitter and sweet! don’t like how it’s so expensive :( I made some cute lattes! i would love to buy a bigger bag if possible! I missed consuming matcha so making these at home for my own consumption is so cool!

Took me 1 day to get used to it. First time user of any matches powders. I'm now addicted. Drink this particular tea every day. If you're willing to try matches green tea, get the ceremonial one. I love it and trying to setup monthly subscription. Mahalo

Delicious. Great price

I've tried a wide range of matcha powders and I can really taste the difference. The best ceremonial matchas, when fresh, have a unique blend of flavors that somehow manage to be earthy, green, bright, bitter and sweet all at the same time - with just the tiniest note of chalkiness in the finish. Some of the culinary grade matchas are missing many of those notes and the worst taste like someone grabbed some weeds by the side of the road and threw them in a blender. Getting matcha at a teahouse is a mixed bag. Some of them use the good stuff. Others use cheap stuff and cover the lack of taste with sweeteners and milks - offering only a matcha latte.This matcha tastes somewhere in between the mid-range culinary matcha and the ceremonial matchas I've tried. It is probably not 'true' ceremonial grade (whatever that means - I'm not even sure there is a rigid definition. Maybe this matcha is used in ceremonies in small castles when second rate nobles visit.) But it is pretty good and at the price point it is probably going to become my matcha of choice. The flavor is not bitter. It is missing some of the brightness in the best matchas I've tried, but little bits of all the notes are present, just in a subdued form.I always scratch my head at friends of mine who put all their money into one expensive thing like a car. I have so many expensive tastes that I have to divide my discretionary funds among many areas. So I drive a Subaru (dependable, capable, economical) and choose where on the price-performance spectrum I want to be in my beer, wine, matcha, kiteboarding, barbequing, paragliding, music, electronics, and health purchases. This matcha is about where I land, although I keep a small tin of the really good stuff in the fridge for when I want a true ceremonial cup.Update: for everyday use, I've stopped using this matcha and switched to SEN CHA Everyday Matcha. Amazon sometimes has it. Costco sells it. It tastes better than this product and is even less expensive. I typically make a matcha latte using the SEN CHA, then I sprinkle a small amount of really good matcha powder on top. My end result is very tasty and not that expensive.
