Naoki Matcha Superior Ceremonial Blend – Authentic Japanese First Harvest Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder from Uji, Kyoto (40g / 1.4oz)

This stuff is smooth. No hint of bitterness in sight. Its so smooth I actually preferred to mix it 50/50 with Jade Leaf in my Matcha lattes. Its just amazing Matcha.. so good I started occasionally drinking it by itself not as a latte... the flavors present in just the tea (no milk, no sugar, etc) is insane. Umami, savory, very minimal mineral/bitter tastes. So if you like mineral tasting matcha, try Dens tea Restaurant Matcha... it has a very strong mineraly taste. This is almost the opposte. One thing to note, this stuff is so smooth and lacks bitterness that I actually have to use 3.5g instead of 3g like I do with Jade leaf... but once you get the strength dialed in it is MINT. I personally dont care about any clumping etc because I whisk my matcha with an electric frother in about 2 oz of water before adding milk or anything else.. even the matcha i had in my fridge which got clumpy from condensation didtn stand a chance... so if you ever have lumpy matcha.. its your fault, not the matchas fault. FYI. I dont mind the Jade leaf at all (for lattes)... in fact I wil gladly use it if its on sale.. but this is objectively the better matcha. If you plan to drink by itself, dont even consider jade leaf.. I am speaking specifically for lattes... Naoki is the only one you want to drink straight. But if you are a latte person.. either one is good quality and a buy again from me.

After my Japan trip last year, I became a Matcha lover. Bought a few different brands, Naoki is the best and is my favorite. Taste fresh, smooth and love the bright green color. I drink Matcha latte everyday. Also whenever my friends come over, I would make one for them to show off my Matcha making skills. They love it as much as I do.

I’m really happy with this matcha 🍵💗 The taste is smooth and pleasant, not bitter, and it blends well with milk. It gives a nice clean matcha strength without being overwhelming, and it feels like such a calming little ritual for me 🌸✨ The color and overall “beauty” of the drink is amazing too — it looks so pretty, especially when I make it with milk and a creamy topping. I also think this would make a lovely gift for any matcha lover because it feels special and high quality 🎁💗 One big reason I’m so excited is that I love matcha without ice because of sensitive teeth, and so many places around me (even matcha-focused cafés) don’t really offer a true no-ice option. So I prefer making it at home where I can control everything — warm, creamy, and exactly my style ☁️🍵💗 The only thing I didn’t expect is how small the jar is. The listing says it should be about 20 servings, and we’ll see, but I drink matcha twice a day, so realistically it may last around 10 days or about a week. Still, it’s so tasty and enjoyable that I’m satisfied, and I’m happy I can finally make my perfect Strawberry Matcha with Einspänner cream at home 🌸💗✨

Really good beginner matcha. It has a stronger grassy/bitterness to it that I love. It picks up flavor very good. I love to sweeten it with agave or the Nooly blueberry pancake syrup. A little goes a long way. Has a good dark green color and strong aroma. I drink matcha or coffee every morning and I got a good amount of drinks from this size so i’m pleased. (For reference I use 1.5/2tsp matcha and 1.5/2oz of hot water, 1oz flavor, ice, then milk)

I am a beginner Matcha enthusiast and I love i making matcha lattes at home (my favorite is Strawberry Matcha lattes). I have repurchased Superior Ceremonial 3× now. I am on my second 3.5 oz bag. I've also tried another well known popular affordable matcha (Jade Leaf) and I immediately decided it is better to splurge accouple more dollars in purchasing Naoki. The texture of the powder is extremely fine. The color is a beautiful dark vibrant green. The flavor is very light with a very low bitterness and a hint of sweetness on its own. It has a very clean taste. However, the flavor does get easily over shadowed by milk and sweetners in a latte. If you want to taste the matcha better you need to add more matcha powder (~4.5 grams). Considering the fact that I am not drinking Matcha traditionally, I do not need a flavor profile that is super complex like what other matcha enthusiasts rave about (often times their recs are super overpriced for its size and/or hard to get). I just need something that will be paired well when used with milk and sweetners. I look for matcha with good quality, affordability, and easy accessibility to repurchase (via Prime adds extra brownie points). Superior Ceremonial checks all the boxes to a first good intro to matcha!

Makes very good matcha with a good depth in flavor. The aroma is very pleasant and it is delicious as well. I love how much it has in it and it is super easy to use i definitely recommend.

Super easy to work with, and once u get the prep right- the flavor is SOOO smooth creamy and yummy. Def a great matcha brand and im def going to buy again. Expensive but worth the addiction. !!! I used this making my first time matcha, and it came out so good!!

It comes in a small air sealed mylar bag inside the tin caddy. The color is bright green if mixed with water, but, of course, it will be a creamy light green when mixed with milk of choice. I loved this matcha powder, it is delicious. First time ordering, and although it is quite a small amount I am still happy with flavor and color of purchase. It's smooth and less earthy tasting than other matchas I have tried.

Sehr toller und leckerer Matcha.

Naoki Matcha's Superior Ceremonial Blend is a top-tier matcha that balances taste, versatility, and health benefits. It's an excellent choice for both matcha enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The flavor is smooth and naturally sweet, with just the right hint of traditional matcha bitterness. It mixes effortlessly in both tea and lattes, and the vibrant green color shows its quality.

It was not a vivid green color. Disappointing

Un poco caro, pero he probado muchos matchas que dicen ser buena calidad y este es uno de los que más me han gustado comparando precio/calidad

Very good. It’s a solid mid-to-high tier ceremonial Matcha product. Smooth non bitter taste with natural sweetness.
