40g Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder Japanese Ceremonial Grade from Uji, Kyoto, First Harvest Stone-Ground, UK Soil Association Certified, Natural Energy & Focus, Vegan, Detox Superdrink, Large 40g Tin

Amazing quality and taste! I'm relatively new to matcha but as a result of my second pregnancy, I can no longer tolerate the taste of coffee. Matcha has been a game changer (infinitely superior in taste and health benefits). I read reviews and this specific brand seemed to be highly recommended and now I can see why. Excellent packaging (airtight seal, canister), vibrant colour, perfect texture and workability. The taste is so smooth and pleasant. It pairs perfectly with oat milk and vanilla syrup. Better than the one you get from Starbucks even. I feel more soothed, energised for longer, and it even helps with morning sickness. Do not hesitate to grab some for yourself!

This is one of the nicest matcha teas I've had, in terms of taste, enjoyment and its effects. It definitely puts you in 'another space', but not by means of any aggressive caffeine levels, which I've experienced even in Japan, where a culinary grade or worse is served. I wonder whether the people who've complained in their reviews about bitterness or an unpleasant taste are using water that is too hot? I boil a kettle with fresh water and then straight away pour it into a clean cup, and when the water has heated the cup, into another, and into yet another (ie the same one that has been chilled by running it under the cold tap). Then, having put around half a heaped teaspoonful or a bit less of the powder into a different cup, I add a smallish amount of the cooled water into the cup with the matcha powder and stir. Then add more of the cooled water into the cup containing the matcha, but nowhere near the top of the cup, and then whisk with a milk frother (if the cup were too full at this point, the whisking would make the froth overflow). Then I top up with either more cooled water, or cold water, depending on which I'd prefer. It sounds complicated but it's not at all - hardly any more than making a cup of English tea. Sometimes I pour the tea into a larger cup (glass, so I can enjoy the colour!), and add hot or cold oat milk, which is also delicious, makes it into a kind of latte. Cow's milk would work well too, but the temperature is crucial so that the matcha is not spoiled. I recommend this tea very highly for its quality.

This is hands down the best matcha I’ve ever tried. My sister also complimented it and said it’s the best matcha she’s ever tried. I wish that they sold a bigger pack, I would’ve bought it in a heartbeat. My whole life I’ve hated matcha, but one day I woke up and I had a huge craving for it. Instead of wasting money, I bought a matcha set and this matcha pack. I was afraid because I didn’t want it to taste fishy, but it’s honestly lovely and sweet. My best friend got me a new matcha and it doesn’t compare to this. It tastes too “grassy”. As soon as I’m finished with that, I’ll definitely buy a refill. If you’re worried about getting this, go for it.

I was so excited to receive this considering I paid a lot of money for only a 40g tin… however, the taste is impeccable and a little goes a long way too. The health benefits are off the charts and it’s easy to use; especially if you have a matcha whisk set. The added photos are two of the product

I decided to go for a slightly pricier Matcha to see the difference in quality and affect. Since I got this with a gift voucher I can't really complain about the price. Matcha is known for being expensive - and this is sourced from Kyoto, which means its ceremonial grade, so the price is understandable. I was impressed from the get-go. Arrived quickly, packaged nicely in an air-tight container and the colour is a vibrant green I've never seen before. The taste is palatable. I find the best way to use this is to add 1/2-1 tsp in to a smoothie (I blend it with tropical fruit and coconut milk) and it makes a lovely green colour. The taste is subtle when blended with fruit, but the affects are still there. In fact, 1/2 tsp is more than enough for me (if you're sensitive to caffeine like me go easy on this stuff) as I find that a dosage slightly over can be the difference between a good high and just feeling like crap. I prefer to drink this later in the day on a full stomach as it can be quite harsh in the mornings. The high is great though, so much focus and mental clarity but without the jitteriness of coffee.

Overpriced. This is a low quality product despite being badged up as ceremonial grade. The first thing I noticed was the dull colour. High quality should be vibrant green (just like in the picture they advertise)! While there was frothing, this was limited, difficult to achieve with large bubbles. This is another sign of low quality grade matcha. Finally, the taste was non existent. If you want to experience quality matcha, avoid this product!!

Always a risk ordering online a product you've never used before but this matcha is really good. Nice fresh, clean taste.

This matcha doesn’t obtain a vivid green color that represents the good quality. (You can compare an expensive legit Japanese matcha on the left side with this product on the right side.) As a matcha lover, it wasn’t too suitable for matcha drinks while it was fine for baking brownies and stuff. However, it is too expensive for culinary purposes. I’d rather purchase cheaper ones for baking.
