Maeda Shiki Matcha Green Tea, 1-Ounce

I’ve tried culinary and universal Maeda-en matcha for my lattes and when comparing the two there is a difference in color and taste. Universal has a brighter color and tastes less bitter compared to culinary. This also foamed nicely with my bamboo whisk and it blended well without any chalkiness when drinking. It was really good and looking forward to trying the ceremonial Maeda-en. This is also an affordable option compared to other brands.

I’m so shocked that I got a good quality matcha for this price! The color was surprisingly just as green as my other ceremonial matcha. I like to use this matcha for my every day drink and I add my earl grey syrup to this and you can still taste the umami flavor. If you drink matcha a lot and you don’t want to break the bank I really recommend this one!

This matcha is delicious. I love the taste and it is great quality. I would say definitely sift it with a strainer before preparing your matcha drink. I accidentally skipped that step this morning and I got chunks.

Love this Matcha!I absolutely love Maeda Shiki Matcha Green Tea 🍵—the quality is excellent, very fine and smooth. I prepare it with fresh milk and use a milk frother to blend—it creates a delicious, creamy matcha that feels just like a café-style drink at home. Highly recommend for any matcha lover!

I’ve only recently started making matcha at home and this matcha powder is better than the expensive one I bought last month. There’s a good amount that comes in the packet, there’s a nice balance of sweet and umami flavors, doesn’t lose flavor when mixed into a latte, and was very easy to whisk. Beautiful color as well

I cannot believe I got such a flavorful matcha at such a price point. The color, texture, and flavors completely outperform most of the (much) more expensive matchas I’ve purchased for lattes. Quality stuff here! A decently sized tin at such a price in 2025 is hard to come by.I’ve only tried this matcha as a latte—not usucha or koicha, but some people may enjoy it that way, I don’t know. The texture of the matcha is very fine, no grittiness at all. It blended up like a dream with my chasen.I enjoyed it unsweetened with soy milk, iced, and really love it. Good umami, low astringency (but enough the be tasted through the milk—just how I like it,) no fishy or seaweed quality at all. It’s a very earthy/grassy matcha but that’s what I was looking for, anyhow. Ratio of 5g to 9oz soy milk.Cannot recommend this product enough!

super green!

Honestly just not my thing but it wasn’t bad just could be better in my opinion would be better for baking
