Ujido The Path of ZenJapanese Matcha Green Tea Powder Ceremonial Blend (2 oz)

I've always enjoyed green tea, and lately, I've been exploring matcha as an alternative to coffee. I was drawn to matcha for its smooth energy boost without the jitters. Finding a balance of quality and price can be challenging, but the Ujido Matcha 2oz variant has been a great option for me.The matcha powder is finely ground and mixes well, even when I prepare it in a simple way by shaking it in a water bottle. The flavor is earthy and rich, which I’ve come to enjoy each morning. For someone new to matcha, it may take some time to appreciate the taste.I’ve been pleased with the amount I received and expect it to last me 1–2 months with regular use. This has been a good choice for my matcha journey, and I’m happy with the balance of flavor, quality, and price.

Best value for your money out there! Love the color and texture and tastes great.

I tried a few other brands, but this one tasted the best. You can also tell the color is better also.

Balanced and grassy flavor. Not too bitter. Affordable.Works well for Matcha Latte.No tin, but it zips well.

Excellent quality. Bright green color. Great fresh, vibrant flavor.

Consistently great product, smooth mellow flavour, not bitter. I enjoy a latte a day for the health benefits and soothing feel on my palate.

I love an iced matcha with oatmilk. I have tried many many matcha powders that didn't have the taste I was looking for, until I found this one. So worth the price. This is the only one I truly enjoy!

First off, I encourage people to avoid blends that do not clearly state the ratio of first to second harvest leaves. We do not know whether you're getting, for example, a 10% first harvest and 90% second harvest in this blend. It can be any ratio. Hence, it is unclear how much value we are getting from it. But it probably isn't a great value since cost incentivizes manufacturers to use more of the cheaper leaves in a blend.But we clearly see that this product is far more expensive than purely second harvest matcha but slightly cheaper than purely first harvest matcha.When I first opened the pouch containing this matcha powder, the color was a light, olive green--very different from the deep, vibrant green I usually saw in first harvest matcha.When I began drinking it, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't carry the bitter taste that many second harvest powders do. However, it still lacked the rich and refreshing taste of a first harvest matcha. Hence, the taste is somewhere in the middle.In conclusion, this matcha sits in an odd place. It's middling appearance and taste render it unfit to serve to guests. It is also too expensive for daily use.
