Naoki Matcha Organic Ceremonial First Spring Blend – Authentic Japanese First Harvest Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder from Kagoshima, Japan (50g / 1.75oz)

After finding this wooden whisk I looked it up what’s it for which led me to discover matcha tea and its health benefits. Then a random matcha video came up on my YouTube and took the risk of buying this expensive matcha powder to try it. Didn’t even consider ordering matcha latte at Starbucks or other bubble tea shops first for some reason. The risk was worth it. My matcha latte was so good. I also added crystal pearls into my drink. Thought I would drink a 16oz/day but love it so much I drink 2/day. I’ve been an espresso drinker or just drink simple tea. I haven’t drank coffee since making the switch. 2 weeks later, there was a new boba shop promotion and I decide to order an iced matcha latte that I’ve been drinking. It was terrible so full of bad sugar. I took a couple of sips and dumped it. Couldn’t finish it. Ordered another matcha latte on my free birthday drink at BR and that was terrible too. Dumped that. I will try Starbucks next to see if their matcha latte is any good.Now I make my own iced matcha latte with honey. Bought a milk frother to get the right level of milk foam and steam milk. I have the right level of sweetness and taste. No after taste or need to brush my teeth afterwards.

Perfect matcha for making at home! Takes practice, but each time I make it, the better it gets. Just as good as going out to the coffee shop. I’ve tried Jade Leaf in the past and actually noticed the difference in quality compared to that one. I like to make my matcha with oatmilk and honey. Super smooth, tasty, and feel ready for the day after drinking this.

This is AMAZING! If you’re thinking about buying it, DO IT!!! I was worried it wouldn’t be good but it’s delicious and I’m picky about my Matcha! It’s perfect for a delicious matcha but not super duper expensive. I had tried this matcha from Costco and it was just not good for lattes. This superior ceremonial grade matcha is perfect, vibrant green, and not bitter at all.UPDATE:I made an earl grey matcha latteITS LITERALLY SO GOOD!Steep 3 bags of earl grey tea with 1 cup of waterBring it to a boil and let it steep for a few minutes (no more than 5)Add 1 cup of sugar and dissolveThat’s it you got earl grey syrup for the perfect matcha latte!

I tried this matcha recently, and it tastes really good! I paired it with oat milk and a splash of oat creamer, which made it super smooth and creamy. The matcha itself has a rich, earthy flavor and a really vibrant green color—so fresh-looking and energizing. Definitely a new favorite!

Wow, this matcha is the real deal! I drink around 1.5g with plain hot water (ceremonial style) almost everyday. No blandness and yet not overpowering or overly bitter either. It has a beautiful deep, bright green You can see & taste the great care was taken in preparing this product.. Glad I took the leap on this one. Thank you Naoki for real, organic, traditional style matcha powder.

Hands down my favorite matcha powder!! It’s so easy to blend because it’s such a fine powder, and makes the smoothest matcha. I wanted a healthier alternative to drinking coffee every day and this is it! I’m obsessed and I don’t even crave coffee anymore. This gives me sustainable energy without a crash, no jittery feeling, and no stomach issues. It lasts me a little over a month and I drink it every day, sometimes 2x a day if I need a little extra energy! I don’t love that it comes in a little foil packet inside the jar because it makes a mess when opened, but I assume there is a purpose to that! I usually just dump it into the jar when I first open it and then store in the refrigerator.

My daughter currently loves matcha and we have been on a matcha craze searching for the best matcha.You have so many to choose from and we were very hesitant to try this brand and boy were we surprised. We are very happy with this matcha powder.It blends well and we are not left with clumps of matcha inside our cups when we make a cup.As far as energy level goes we haven’t noticed a different in that area but we are true believers in what matcha has to offer.The size of the canister is small but you get a lot of matcha for the price.To me the taste is very subtle and to my daughter is very light when compared to other brands.

my absolute favorite amazon matcha. i’ve become a bit of a matcha snob and love bigger brands like marukyu koyamaen, saijoen, and ippodo, but this matcha is such good alternative to some much more expensive matchas. it whisks smoothly and has very little bitter taste on its own.
