Organic Ceremonial Grade Barista Blend Matcha Powder - 100% Pure Japanese Premium First Harvest Green Tea for Lattes from Uji and Kagoshima, 30g / 1.06 Ounce (Pack of 1)

I bought these two matcha powders at the same time expecting similar quality, but they are very different and will fit different needs depending on how you like your matcha. The smaller tin has a much brighter green color, a finer texture, and tastes noticeably smoother. It whisks up creamy with no effort and has that nice natural sweetness you expect from higher-grade matcha. This is the one you want if you drink matcha straight, make lattes, or prefer a softer flavor without bitterness. The large tin, on the other hand, is more of an olive green and has a slightly coarser texture. The flavor is earthier and a little more bitter, which makes it better for baking or smoothies where you want matcha flavor but don’t need ceremonial-level quality. It’s a good value for the amount you get, just not as delicate or vibrant as the smaller tin. Overall, both are useful—just for different purposes. If you want a smoother daily latte or traditional matcha, pick the brighter one. If you want a budget-friendly big container for cooking or mixing, the larger tin works great.

I like this one a lot. Smells and tastes great. I since bought a larger size of what I thought was the same thing but that had a ton of sugar in it which was very disappointing as I preferred just the matcha with milk's lactose. Next time, I will by this one again hoping to find it in a larger size.

Wonderful product. I would definitely buy it again.

I bought this product on February 26th, so I'm sure the quality has slightly gone down and some slight oxidation has occured. The left is the Jade leaf and the right is a different ceremonial/first harvest matcha powder. I should preface I'm a beginner and new to matcha, so take that into consideration with my review. I have tried this sifting and without sifting and it's a pretty smooth matcha compared to others of lower quality or other cheaper ceremonial options. There is somewhat bitter/chalky/astringent taste, but not too much. I usually add sweetener though and that really helps. When I don't sift and just make the paste I don't experience much grainy texture, so if you're short on time it's a great option. When making the paste I'm able to get rid of most of the clumps. I'm still getting used to ratios, water temp, and refining my technique, which all those things could come into play. The flavor and smell are more on the subtle side. Overall I would suggest this matcha and think it's a good option for the price and could be a good everyday matcha on a budget.

10/10 homemade matcha!!! I am so happy with this matcha. It is delicious and tastes very natural. I love that there are no added sugars in this so that you can add sugar or flavors to your liking. I love a very strong matcha so I typically mix 1.5 tsp with a little less than 2 oz of water. That is perfect for me! The matcha blends so well into the water with an electric frother. There is no excess powder when I add extra matcha powder into my drink.

It smells amazingly fresh and the taste is beautiful. I use it with coconut milk or almond milk.

The first time I purchased this brand of Matcha, I purchased the 1.06 size and was delighted. I have a cup of Matcha tea every day and the first purchase was bright green and foamed up good when I whisked it. This time I purchased the 1.76 larger size and no matter how much I whisk it, it does not foam up and the color is a dull green.

Hey y'all The quality and taste of this matcha is great. Hot or iced. Here is something for you to know. This product is sold at 1.06 oz (30g) and marketed at 30 servings per tin. When I googled 1.06 oz into tsp. The conversion came back as 6.36 tsp. Where as 30g is estimated as between 6 to 7.17 tsp. I know these can't always be super exact. Each tin of matcha is marketed as having "30 servings". At 1.06 oz that isn't accurate. The directions say 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp for each serving and even if you can do simple math that's about 6 to 12 days of drinks if you have one drink a day. I purchased mine on March 22nd and sometimes I would use a 1/2 tsp and sometimes 1 tsp. It's March 30th, and the tin is almost gone. A handle of days in there I had two servings a day. So realistically with one cup a day at 1/2 tsp serving, this may last 12 or 13 days maybe at its maximum length. Full disclosure if you're considering this product. The quality is pretty good, but it will not last you 30 days, or 30 servings.

No me gustó, que justo yo elegí este producto por que supuestamente venía en bote , y me llegó en 2 bolsas. La presentación también importa, y es por lo que yo pagué por que lo consideré importante.

This is a very nice matcha. My picture is not doing justice but the green colour is slightly darker. It tastes good when I add vanilla syrup or brown sugar. It’s somewhat foamy when i add hot water and mix it with electric whisker. Will buy it again for sure, it tastes good when u add supplement flavours to it!

Buen sabor y nutritivo

I got this Barista edition after trying out the Teahouse edition. This Barista edition is much more bitter and much less savory. Teahouse edition is excellent with a very smooth tasting, creamy and savory. So if you like a bolder, bitter matcha for latte, this one is great. Teahouse edition will make a smoother and creamier latte. On the side note, Jade Leaf have one of the best customers service. I said I do not like the taste of this edition compare to the teahouse edition and they straightforward offer me the Teahouse edition as a replacement at no extra cost.

Excellent matcha smooth, delicate, and pleasantly flavorful. Not sweet, perfectly balanced. Ideal for tea ceremonies and matcha lattes.
