Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder Ceremonial Grade | Japanese Premium Matcha Tea | First Harvest Single Source Leaf | Grade AAA | Pure Flavour | 30g

I was kindly given this organic matcha tea to try by the Pretty Smart Food Co. The matcha comes in a lovely small storage pot (which I will be reusing!). The powder itself is super bright green and healthy looking. I invested in a whisk as otherwise matcha powder can fall straight to the bottom of a mug. It works well to make a paste using warm but not boiling water and then to top up with more water if required. The taste is really refreshing and pleasant – I find it particularly good to give me some energy before a morning yoga session or a busy day at work. It is really good for the body and a great antioxidant. It is also tastier than any of my usual green teas and has tons more benefits! I love that it is 1st Flush Japanese style – totally pure unlike some other brands. It’s super versatile and I’m looking at other ways to use it including in smoothies and ice lollies. One tip would be to fully remove the inside ring-pull seal – I tucked mine back in and got a sprinkle of green over me when I next tried to open as matcha had collected on top! Would definitely recommend this matcha – I have juvenile chronic arthritis and anything that boosts my energy levels is my friend! :)

I have been drinking/consuming Matcha tea powder for over a decade now, having tried a whole range of brands and types. I can safely say that this is by far and away the highest quality green tea powder I’ve ever bought. Bright green in colour, full of flavour and great value for money. It’s organic, high grade and from my experience tastes fantastic. No bitterness that I have found many others leave. I have always extolled the benefits of Matcha tea but I have stopped recommending other brands to friends and family, and instead highlight this as a tried and tested favourite. I hope Pretty Smart are able to continue sourcing their tea from this same provider as it sets them apart. Great work team and I look forward to purchasing my next tin in the near future!

I have tried and tested so many of the ceremonial grade matcha powders on the market and i can honestly say this one wins hands down. It is such high quality - Really silky smooth, the perfect light green colour and an even more perfect taste.With a lot of other brands i often feel i am drinking it for the health benefits rather than really sipping it and enjoying the taste, but with The Pretty Smart matcha I can experience both!I’m so happy to have finally found such high quality Matcha! :)

This matcha came in a lovely tiny can with a screw lid.When you open the can, you have to be very careful as it’s fine powder.The smell reminds me of the Greens Super Greens powders that you can buy from herbal shops but smells sweeter slightly.The froth is nice if you whisk fast enough. I didn't put too much matcha in the chawan as I didn’t want I make it to thick so that it would settle on the bottom. I feel that this small drink is best drank fast so that it doesn’t settle either.It smelled like Tea but it was too bitter for me, it has a bitter aftertaste.

For those that are disillusioned about matcha, or don't know what proper matcha tastes like, this is it. There should be no bitter taste as mentioned by reviewers of other brands. This one is subtly sweet, and tastes like the way more expensive premium Japanese import matcha I have used. Not quite on par, but very nearly, for half the price.Other so called ceremonial matchas at this price point or lower, simply are not. It's no wonder some people try entry level or cheaper ceremonials are disappointed with the taste and the whole matcha category. If you only have one matcha to try, try this one.A small note, the underside of the tin lid has a rubber seal to keep the matcha fresh, on cheaper brands there is no seal and is just a tin lid. The name 'Pretty Smart Food Company' sounds a bit too western I guess so may wrong foot some people looking for a more authentic matcha. But make no mistake this is probably the most authentic matcha you can get at this price point.

love this stuff! I'm a big matcha lover and the quality is great. Unfortunately, I do still find it overpriced considering the tin is almost only half full.

After I've had my cup it makes my body feel great. I'll probably end up having a cup or two every day because of this, well worth the price.This will be easier to drink if you're a green tea fan by the way. My boyfriend is thinking about hopping from the coffee to this stuff because of the benefits, which is something I totally recommend because matcha tea contains basically the same amount caffeine yet is really good for you.This is the first brand of matcha I have tried and I'm not disappointed, like I said it's not an easy drink but if you hold your nose it's easy, and over time I can see myself getting used to it.update- I now love the taste of matcha! I find it pure heaven, weird! It does kind of taste like grass the first couple of times you have it, but eventually it gets better and it really does focus the mind!Enjoy!

I've always wanted to drink green tea because of the health benefits but to be honest, I cannot stand the taste - even the ones that are infused with other flavours. Then I heard about how wonderful matcha tea is and I really wanted to try it but basically, having not liked green tea in the first place I was hesitant. I read all the reviews on this tea and thought I would give it one last shot. I have drunk a cup of it every day since I bought it and not only does it taste deliciously creamy, but I am starting to feel the benefits and I'm so glad I decided to give it a go. I've even ordered one of those proper whisks too as I intend to continue to drink it. The tea came in a lovely metal tin and arrived a lot earlier than anticipated so I didn't have to wait too long to try it. If you want to try matcha, then I would definitely recommend this one.
