Clearspring Organic Japanese Matcha Green Tea Powder Ceremonial Grade 30 g

The best lots of brands out there but Clearspring Ceremonial are the best in my opinion

I came to Matcha as a die-hard coffee addict (my Gaggia Brera chugs away every morning spitting out my double shot Latte without fail) & Green Tea hater. I only had my first Matcha Latte in EAT recently. I was kind of nervous handing over a Prince's ransom for 30g of green powder. Luckily this will not prove to be yet another of my various tea contributions to landfill (driven potty by tea-swilling friends for whom I have to keep a stock of teabags - I only drink the stuff when I've OD'd on Austen / Dickens / Bronte or am home-sick for the ancestral land & want tooth-achingly sweet hot lemon tea) Anyway, I digress. So far, I've followed the instructions to the letter very & carefully slowly; scared to sneeze for fear of turning the kitchen counter & myself green. I've made Matcha Lattes with almond milk & a bit of Acacia honey (delicious)! And I've just started to drink it with hot water & honey (Matcha Americano)? Also delicious. The Matcha's subtle taste & gentler than coffee's cattle-prod hit of caffeine make a very welcome change. My Gaggia needs some TLC (a much needed service) as she's a Diva leaking water & throwing a hissy fit if the bean hopper is not kept appropriately stocked. Who knows when she's back from her spa break I may even sell her to a lucky coffee fiend, having kicked the habit.

I have tried many of the matcha ceremonial grade teas now and I particularly love this one. It is smooth and does not taste bitter as some do. It's awesome mixed in with you morning coffee. Then you have the benefit of slow and fast release caffeine, as well as all the antioxidants. The other make I loved was the Doctor King one but this is a slightly better price.

Superb Matcha with a good aroma and pleasing green colour. This Matcha makes a delicious tea. One thing to be careful of is the instructions. They suggest water just off the boil. Matcha is ideally made with water near 70C. A lower temperature avoids the astringency and bitterness that occurs at too higher a temperature. Not all of us have a thermometer handy so pour the boiled water into a cup. Then pour this cup of water into another cup. Use the final cup to make your Matcha tea.

Superb taste, vibrant colour, and froths up with minimal effort—like Japanese ceremonial grade matcha should be. As a hardened caffeine addict, I require far more of this to sustain me than I would imagine most other people do, but it does indeed help. It certainly seems to be the real deal. The packaging is stellar, too. Not entirely happy with the price hike, though—this particlar product used to be one the most economical, despite its superior quality and excellent packaging, which is a selling point that encouraged repeat, and multiple, purchases. It's still better value than many others of the same calibre, but I hope the price doesn't continue rising.

Loving our new matcha latte obsession! We've been having peppermint matcha lattes (for 2 people: 1 tsp matcha powder, 1/2 tsp peppermint extract, 1 tsp maple syrup, 2 mugs of hot milk - cow's / coconut / almond etc). Gives you a lovely, refreshing buzz in the morning. This is the first matcha I've tried, but it seems very high quality and the colour and flavour are vibrant and nice.

Great packaging - lives up to its price however, quality of the tea does not justify the price or “ceremonial” grading. Compared to other brands, this one doesn’t froth well with a bamboo whisk; and you need to sieve it otherwise there will be lumps.

This was my first time buying matcha, so I was concerned about the taste - especially as people did mention it being more of an acquired one. I needn't have! To me it tastes like the last third of water that settles in the mug of green tea with the bag in a cup. So a little stronger than the rest of what you have drank. It is very smooth and sometimes when I haven't mixed it properly, tiny clumps appear at the bottom which I can happily drink because you really can't feel them on the tongue. Just try it! I'm trying to make it my morning habit - I have yet to receive the incredible over-the-top instant feeling I have been promised by most reviewers, but I like it and know it is doing me good through the studies I have read.

Me ha gustado mucho y mira que a mi no me gusta demasiado el té. Lo más engorroso de este tipo de té es la preparación, si quieres hacerlo bien hecho necesitas un buen rato..pero el resultado es bueno.

This tea is delicious. I had ordered matcha in the past and got a lot more for the amount I paid for clearspring but this tea is much smoother. I would order it again for sure.

Ce thé est de qualité cérémoniale, donc de très bonne qualité avec une poudre fine d'un vert éclatant au gout doux et pas amer. Petite boite de 30g assez chère mais le prix est normal pour un matcha de qualité - je recommande cette marque. ATTENTION: il est écrit "lot de 4" alors qu'il s'agit d'UNE boite uniquement! Apres un courrier envoyé au vendeur, il s'est avéré etre une erreur dans l'annonce et j'ai été rapidement remboursée.
