Marukyu Koyamaen Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha [Japan] [Magus Brands] (Aorashi, 40G)

I purchased this product for AED 568, believing it was a premium ceremonial-grade matcha, only to find the same 40g tin later for under AED 135 dhs. The product itself is authentic but the price markup by the seller is unreasonable.

Sin palabras, desepcionada.

Absolutely love this matcha! The color is a vibrant green and the taste is smooth, fresh, and earthy—just how good matcha should be. It froths beautifully and works great for both lattes and traditional whisked tea. I’ve tried a few brands before, but this one definitely stands out in quality and value. Will definitely be reordering!

Absolutely delighted with Marukyu Koyamaen Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha! This matcha is a true gem for any tea enthusiast. The vibrant green color immediately catches the eye, promising a high-quality experience. Upon opening the tin, the fresh, grassy aroma is invigorating and sets the stage for a truly delightful tea session. The matcha powder is incredibly fine, ensuring a smooth and lump-free preparation every time. When whisked, it produces a beautiful, frothy cup with a rich, velvety texture. The flavor is impeccably balanced, offering a delicate sweetness with a hint of pleasant bitterness, characteristic of top-grade matcha. The umami undertones add depth and complexity, making each sip a joy. Marukyu Koyamaen has clearly put a lot of care and expertise into this product, and it shows. Whether you’re enjoying it traditionally or incorporating it into recipes, this matcha elevates the experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the finest quality matcha available!

Strengths: This is an excellent everyday ceremonial matcha — smooth, fresh, and versatile. It’s a great entry point into high-quality Uji matcha without breaking the bank. Ideal For: Matcha lovers who want a reliable, well-balanced powder for daily use; people who like both traditional whisked matcha and latte-style matcha drinks. Not For: Those looking for super-competitive, ultra-luxury matcha with extremely deep umami or the strongest flavor punch. Overall Rating: 4.5 / 5 — very high quality for its price, and a solid choice whether you’re new to matcha or just want a dependable, premium-grade powder.

The Marukyu Koyamaen Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha has a lovely sweetness and smooth flavor that’s enjoyable to drink. It’s clear this is a high-quality matcha with a well-balanced taste that works well for traditional preparation or lattes. However, I did notice a slightly chalky texture, which was a bit unexpected
