Naoki Matcha Chiran Harvest Limited Edition Blend, 40g / 1.4oz

Matcha in the evening to me is like my morning coffee. I used to purchase matcha from Japan. But import fees are ridiculous now. So I thought I would give this a go. Now like coffee, matcha varies in its tones and sweetness when it comes from different places. Even though this is not the same as the one from Japan, it’s very very good matcha considering every factor. Also it’s very rich so if I make a tea, I only use half a tsp, and very thick so great for Koicha (“thick”). I cannot get over how the flavour comes through so lovingly in a latte! Usually when you go to a coffee shop to get a matcha latte, it tastes nice but there is a slight after taste because they are not using ceremonial grade matcha, they are using the very cheap slightly dull green matcha. Here when I make a matcha, the flavours come through, the colour is beautiful and it tastes cosy and is perfect before bed. The Japanese imported matcha didn’t handle well being in milk but I would purchase the cheapest he sold because the thicker matcha like this was too much for me to import. I’m so happy to have discovered this, I really hope they don’t change the quality or the price. I am aware things are rapidly changing with our British economy. But pleeeeeaaasseee always stay affordable and if the highest quality.

Great taste, dissolves smoothly and makes a lovely latte.

This matcha is really good quality. Wish there was more in the pouch but the taste was very nice.

Very nutty and vibrant green love it!

It’s perfect for latte - pricey but wow so worth it. Better than getting matcha out.

At first it smelled & tasted like seaweed when i was using boiling hot water (i’m a matcha beginner) but then when I cold whisked it, and used oat milk it tasted way better. Reminds me of black sheep coffee’s iced matcha latte. I also like to rim the sides with honey .

Tastes like Hazelnut! Really really nice and unique. I bought 4 different types of matcha at once and this one was something special. Very unique flavour profile and no bitterness. Colour is amazing too, so don’t worry about it.

Good everyday matcha. Bodied and rich
