Zen no Megumi Zen no Ocha Japanese Matcha Powder Green Tea 100% Organic Made in Kyoto Japan (3.53oz(100g))

It's not ceremonial grade and it doesn't state that it is. It's not an exceptional matcha. It's decent culinary grade matcha with a reasonable price. Good color, good smell, good taste, and foams up when whisked, also good for baking. Doesn't leave a chalky finish behind like some of the more pricey ones I've tried. Anyone who thinks they can buy ceremonial grade matcha for this price needs to stop and do some research on Ceremonial Grade. Also, unless you're running a shop that requires you to use large amounts of this stuff, buy the smaller portions. It loses its freshness once you've unsealed the bag, so drink it quickly or get it in smaller amounts.

Being honest and brief, I like this matcha. You get more for your money than other brands. The taste is very good and is nice for drinking daily. The bag reseals without a problem. Mixes well. I will order again. Enjoy.

Not the best, but decent. Pictures are accurate, it's not a bright green, but it's not a stale color either, something in between. It's not bitter or weird tasting. Good enough to drink and definitely to mix.

The COLOR STAYS BRIGHT GREEN even after I add in my soy milk and ice cubes. It doesn’t taste grassy either like some matcha blends that turn brownish-green. Also, the taste is on the delicate side without much bitterness, and I usually boil my water then I add some cold water into it to get it to be around 180-200 degrees F in order to reduce acidity and bitterness. I only add enough water to dissolve the matcha and I whisk furiously with my tiny spoon because I haven’t invested in a wooden matcha whisk yet (whoops). And I still haven’t made a bitter cup of matcha with this Matcha tea certifiably from Japan!!! To me, the ones from China definitely had a weird aftertaste. Not this one from Japan though :) Grade A matcha for a somewhat novice matcha drinker like myself for a really amazing price!

This is definitely NOT a good solo-drinking matcha. However, I need matcha to keep me 'regular' so I mix this with loose-leaf Sencha in a teapot. This is tolerable when mixed with something else, for a reasonable price.

This is my favorite of the brands I've tried. It blends well and has a strong matcha flavor. There is a bitterness to it because it isn't ceremonial grade but I use it for lattes and it's hardly noticeable once it's mixed with sweetener/milk. I've tried more expensive, ceremonial grade matcha brands and actually prefer this bolder flavor to those that are more mild.

So I've been to Japan, I have been a weeb since before I was even in kindergarten and aside from consuming a lot of anime I have definitely consumed a lot of Japanese food over the years. This matcha tastes terrible; Everything about it was bad except for the color. Mine was the correct color I'd even say it looked a bit too grean lol! However I sadly couldn't help but notice after purchasing this product that on the back it say's " for cooking" IE ; not meant to be made into Matcha late's which is what I use it for. So if you want to make Matcha pancakes, or other assorted Matcha flavored goods then I'm sure this product would suite your needs; however would advise against this product if you intend to use it for beverages. I don't ever add anything into my match late's - I literally take milk, put in some matcha, whisk then drink so I can tell you that my perception of it's taste was not altered in any way shape or form. Note that becuase it's cooking grade it's DEFINITELY NOT ceremonial grade which I honestly could care less if it's ceremonial grade or not tbh but if that's something you might care about then it's good to know. I'm giving the company 1 star becuase 1. It tastes bad 2. definitely not ceremonial grade so not only does it taste bad but it's clearly poor quality matcha and 3. they lied about it suiting beverages; like I said this is cooking grade matcha which is not at all what was advertised so overall 4. this was a total waste of my money so hopefully I can prevent others for wasting theirs. Note that my expectations aren't too high- I ordered my product and expected what was advertised which I clearly didn't get that. Lying is shameful and more importantly it tastes bad so please take this review into consideration before purchasing this product.
