TSUJIRI Matcha - Tsuji Midori (30g / 1.06oz) - Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder - Authentic Japanese First Harvest Matcha Green Tea - Uji, Kyoto, Japan, 1860

I was bullied by friends who called me a heretic for wanting a decaf matcha, but I knew what I wanted, and I luckily found it right here on Amazon. Do not be dismayed by the size of the container! This lovely little tin packs a punch of delicious and rich decaf matcha. Before I purchased it, I looked at the reviews and was happily surprised that all of them were positive. Other decaf matchas reported bad flavor, clumping, and even the inclusion of lead... !? This one is smooth, blends seamlessly into your liquid, and serves up sip after sip of that green goodness that we all love. I am hooked!

I tried a whole bunch of low caffeine matcha brands after Koyama-en sold out of theirs, and they were pretty much all trash until I found this one. I practice Chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony, and I am licensed through the Urasenke Foundation in Japan. My grandmother also practiced, so I’ve been drinking matcha my entire life.We use low-caffeine matcha for guests who have caffeine sensitivities, pregnant and nursing mothers, and also for night-time tea ceremonies like Tanabata. For this year’s Tanabata celebration I was growing desperate trying to find tea because Koyama-en has been out worldwide and was not going to get more, and I couldn’t even get it shipped by my friends in Japan. Finally, after trying many different awful brands, this one came, and although I had almost entirely lost hope, I was happy to discover that it was not just okay — it was actually good! I think it might even be better than the Koyama-en!All of my guests for tanabata loved it and took the tea information with them so they could order it in the future. My tea sensei was one of my guests, and he is a true tea snob, and even he liked it!I did some experimentation and I found that adding just a dash of powdered L-Theanine makes this even better, and L-Theanine also helps people relax and may help with sleep, so I now have a go-to tea blend for night-time tea temae! I’m very excited.I won’t leave negative reviews for the brands I didn’t like, because it seems like other people like those for lattes and whatnot, but I wanted to share with real tea people that this matcha is actually quite good. I’m definitely re-ordering before it also disappears due to the crazy tea world right now.

A perfectly fine decaf matcha. A slightly yellow-leaning green and less flavorful than the “real thing,” but it whisks up with the correct texture (no graininess, etc) and that’s what’s most important to me. I enjoy using this to make half-caff matcha with another blend (Jade Leaf’s ceremonial teahouse) and it’s made for nice lattes.

It’s really chalky but the color is good

Why did you pick this product vs others?:🌿 Smooth, Balanced, and VibrantThis matcha has a beautifully smooth and clean taste with a noticeable natural sweetness not bitter like lower grade matcha. It has a rich umami flavor, creamy texture when whisked well, and a slightly grassy.Vivid green color.

The media could not be loaded. Absolutely blown away by this matcha! Color is beautiful, taste is amazing as a latte, very smooth and rich. Can’t wait to try more from Tsujiri

Hard to find quality decaf matcha that isn't way expensive. Color is okay. Flavor is good, a bit mild. The smell is lovely. Always at least a few clumps when preparing though ... Other brands I like don't do this. Still my go-to for now
