Naoki MatchaOrganic Ceremonial First Spring Blend – Authentic Japanese First Harvest Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder from Kagoshima, Japan (40g / 1.4oz)

This stuff is amazingly high-quality to compare to other products I have bought. Yes comparatively more expensive, but worth it. So green and so fresh just tastes amazing. Do not use water hotter than 160° or so where it will degrade the flavor and effectiveness.

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.

Original and very earthy to taste! This one is NOT sweetened like the typical Matcha you get in our branded coffee shops. Therefore it can be prepared in different ways to suit your taste. For me, I add soy milk with a tablespoon in my blender so it mixes evenly. I do froth vanilla creamer to add sweetness (but not too much) to my Matcha drink. The frothed creamer blends so well. It doesn’t get chalky, and you don’t end up sipping a clump of matcha. The size is a good value for the money you spend. I can feel good about this Matcha because it definitely gives me more natural than the other brands. If you like Matcha, give this brand a try. You won’t regret it.

I was out of matcha and since I'm going to Japan soon, I decided to buy Naoki to try out and to cope with my matcha crave for the time being.A solid matcha powder, beautiful green color. It has a slight bitter taste in milk, and mild taste and little creamy. Depending on the milk you're using, the matcha flavor doesn't really stand out, and if you're using flavored syrups, you probably won't taste much matcha anymore. I used Chobani Oatmilk and the flavor stood out more than when I was using Califa Barista. I only use around 10 mil of simple syrup in my matcha since I do like to taste the tea bitterness.As thin tea (Usucha), the bitterness stands out but it's still really cream. Less astringent, and your tongue won't be dry after drinking.

It is a very high quality product, with a vibrant pistachio green color. Expensive, but hey.. it was for royalty at one time.

Really smooth and fresh tasting matcha. No bitterness, just a nice clean flavor. Whisks up super well too great for lattes or just plain. Definitely feels like a step up from the usual store bought stuff.

I am a fan of Starbucks, but honestly, this matcha is better than theirs, as well as many other coffee shops I have been to. I have invested in trying out new matcha to find one of best quality, and no other can compare. It is a bit expensive, but it is 1000% worth it. I highly recommend. Me and my mother love it, and it’s our own little hang out event. So, honestly, I have nothing other than praise to say.

This matcha has some vegetal notes, a very small amount of astringency, and umami notes. Perfect for beginners since it has some bitterness towards the end but not overpowering. It gave me a steady stream of calm energy since i work night shifts. At the price of this matcha i think it is well worth it. Also look at that gorgeous green! I made it with some oat milk and home made earl grey syrup! Yum!
