Naoki Matcha Superior Ceremonial Blend – Authentic Japanese First Harvest Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder from Uji, Kyoto (100g / 3.5oz)

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.

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

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.

Whether you’re a matcha connoisseur or new to Matcha tea, this tea will not disappoint! It has a smooth, non-acidic taste. No bitterness if, consumed immediately after preparation.If the water is too hot, and if you let your freshly brewed cup sit for over 1 hour in very hot water, there may be slight bitterness and the color will loose it’s vibrancy.I tried it with plain filtered water, so I could taste it in its most natural form, and I loved it! I’ve been drinking it with plain filtered water every morning, and use homemade almond or cashew milk in the afternoon for a frothy vegan latte.The temperature and Ph of the water makes a difference in the taste profile. If able, use reverse osmosis water.I’m very sensitive to caffeine, and the caffeine content in This matcha did not bother me. Just enough of a gentle boost without the jitters!I would buy again and highly recommend.

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.

As a matcha addict that likes to save money on matcha beverages and control sugar level, this is the most delightful matcha! I have made straight up matcha, matcha lattes, matcha smoothies, and matcha ice cream, all of which have tasted smooth and rich and have a bright green color. I have purchased this 3 times so far, and it lasts for several months with roughly once or twice a week use. This would be a great matcha if you are looking to experiment or are an avid current matcha drinker. You should invest in a proper bamboo whisk for blending and will not be disappointed by the resultant satisfying frothiness.

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!
