Matcharl Matcha Powder, Japanese Ceremonial Grade, 40g/1.4oz - TAROU(太郎) -

Excellent , great flavor, gray color. I got it on sale so it was a really good price as well but even full price. This is very nice and it is different than cheaper matches that have a planner color and a more grassy flavor. The ceremonial grade matches have a better smoother cleaner flavor if you’re wondering.

This is my third time ordering this matcha. I really enjoy drinking it as a latte! Sometimes I also might add some honey or syrup to make it a bit sweeter. I really like this matcha because it’s very affordable compared to other brands of matcha, but still offers a good taste and quality. It’s pretty easy to blend and has enough amount of powder to last a whole month(if you drink it every day). Overall it’s a must try!

The color is nice and bright, not quite as neon green as ceremonial grade, but definitely a beautiful bright green. There is a sharp, grassy, kinda stringent note to it. I normally don’t add sweetener to my matcha, but I might to this one. Definitely tastes bright and fresh! I’m just used to more smooth flavor. I’m a matcha novice, so my palate might change as I learn more, maybe this is a superior quality and I’m just ignorant, Idk! All signs of high quality matcha are there, from the way it was growth and harvested to how smooth and blendable it is.

I'm a repeat buyer of this brand of matcha. A prominent flavor featuring floral notes that isn't grassy at all. ABSOLUTELY love this stuff, especially for the price per gram!

I usually get the naoki brand, but saw this was on sale and wanted to try!! For half the price is it quite good and still renders a high quality bright green matcha. It is a little more grassy and not as smooth and floral as some of the Naoki blends but delicious nonetheless. It blends smoothly with a bamboo whisk, no clumpiness or chalkiness. Lovely for the cost!

UPDATED: For the price this is a pretty good product. I purchased the taro blend, and tried it as both an usucha and a latte. Overall I was not a huge fan of this matcha in the usucha, simply because of the bitterness and astringency. The matcha flavor is definitely there, leaving a bitter flavor in your mouth long after finishing. I’d say it is a medium bodied matcha, with no nuttiness or sweetness. It is on the grassier side. In a matcha latte, however, it faired much better. I added sugar to my matcha latte, which cut back on the astringency and bitterness. $20 for 40g is pretty decent, so if you are only using this for lattes, this could be a good option. I likely won’t purchase this again, simply because I prefer a nutty, sweeter matcha. I will try the Gold blend next time to see how that one compares.

This matcha was very good! It made a really nice foam on top when whisking and tastes very creamy. Keep in mind a little goes a longgg way when making this. For reference, i used about 1/2 cup of milk to make a latte and only used 1 1/2 teaspoons of matcha and the flavor was very strong:) The matcha has a very floraly scent when first smelling it and tastes the same too it’s delicious!! also it’s such a good price especially if you’re someone who makes a latte everyday- the matcha flavor really stands out!

Nice flavor matcha for my matcha lattes! 10 out of 10 recommended to buy. It’s affordable for the price and a good quantity of match comes in the tin.

Based in the color it doesn’t look a good matcha. Taste it’s ok.
