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

Wow, this matcha is incredible. I'm a daily matcha drinker and just tried this matcha for the first time. I'm so impressed! It's a beautiful bright green color, and had a strong clean matcha scent straight from the package. I make matcha lattes with oat milk and honey, and my latte this morning is just perfect.My technique: add hot (not boiling) water to 1.5 teaspoons of matcha. Whisk with an electric whisk. Add 4 tablespoons of locally sourced honey (helps your immune system develop tolerance for local strains of colds and viruses). Whisk again. Pour cold oat milk over ice, then pour my whisked matcha and honey over the oat milk. Shake it up in my thermos and I'm ready to go.This matcha was a little pricier than the last one I tried and it's totally worth it. I've actually paid insane amounts of money for matcha before and this one is relatively affordable, especially for the larger amount. I store mine tightly sealed in the fridge, and drink it every day so I'm sure I'll run through it before it goes bad.I have psoriasis and hydradenitis suppurativa, an immune system disorder that causes me to have very bad skin issues. I've been using matcha as a medicine for years now and the longer I use it the better my skin becomes. The matcha is also great for keeping my waist trim. It has so many health benefits, it's just undeniable. And I love that I can drink it and get a good caffeine content without risking the caffeine crash of coffee or espresso.This is awesome. If you're trying to decide, just decide to buy this matcha. It's the real deal.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the quality of this Naoki Matcha Ceremonial Grade. Right away, the vibrant, bright green color stood out—it’s a sign of fresh, high-quality matcha. The flavor profile is well-balanced, with a light astringency that adds complexity without overwhelming bitterness. There’s also a subtle nutty undertone that rounds out the taste nicely, making it enjoyable both as a traditional tea and as an ingredient in lattes or smoothies.What I appreciate most is how smooth it is compared to other matchas I’ve tried. It doesn’t leave the harsh, bitter aftertaste some lower-grade powders have. This makes it perfect not just for ceremonial preparation but also for daily use if you like matcha in your coffee or milk-based drinks.I wasn’t expecting much from an Amazon purchase, but this matcha has definitely exceeded my expectations in both flavor and quality. The powder is fine and easy to whisk, producing a nice, creamy froth when prepared traditionally. Overall, I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, authentic ceremonial grade matcha without paying a premium price.

I have been addicted to Sooters Matcha with strawberry cold foam ... but now even the plain Matcha deems a little sweet for me. I had bought some from walmart-- that was crazy 1st ingredient was sugar. Now THIS stuff....AMAZING!!!! I warmed 8oz of water to close to 160 degrees Farenheight, mixed in 1tsp of Matcha, then poured that over ice and added a little milk-- I did add a tiny tiny bit of lavender syrup for a little sweetness--- so good! Next time I may try weening the water down a little and using more milk for that thicker iced latte.This will save tons of money considering approx $6 for a Matcha Latte from Scooters ..and now I can have it any time! I look forward to trying the Matcha powders different ways using the website recipes.

Matcha is a staple in my morning routine, and this brand has become my absolute favorite. I’ve tried several over the years, but I keep coming back to this one because of its consistently great quality and taste.The flavor is smooth, vibrant, and never bitter—perfect whether I’m making a traditional hot tea, a creamy latte, or even adding it to a smoothie. It blends easily and always gives me that fresh, energizing start to my day.What really stands out is the bright green color and the clean, earthy aroma every time I open the bag. For the price, it delivers a premium experience without being overly expensive. If you’re looking for a reliable, great-tasting matcha, this one is a fantastic choice.

Very nice looking kettle and large enough for most uses. The metal is not thick, but not as thin as I have seen, and is brushed stainless steel. I've never seen a manufacturer go to such lengths to avoid disclosing what a part is made of, but there is no indication what the handle is made of although we know it has a wood grain texture and is coated in silicone.....I will assume that whatever it is, it will melt when exposed to a flame if not burst into a flame itself....they wouldn't have coated it in silicone if it didn't. It gets irritating, and took a star off for failure to disclose product information even though I like the size of the handle and feel it is an attractive addition to the overall design. Looks nice on my black glass stove top and I love that it holds 3.1 quarts.

We are absolutely thrilled with the quality and flavor of the Naoki Matcha Superior Ceremonial Blend! The vibrant, rich green color is striking and immediately shows the premium nature of this matcha. My husband especially enjoys experimenting with different ways to prepare it, and every cup delivers a smooth, authentic taste that truly reflects the first harvest ceremonial grade from Uji, Kyoto (we all know that Uji produces the best matcha, and now we are big fans!). The aroma is fresh and delicate, making each tea session feel special and calming. This matcha exceeded our expectations in both quality and flavor, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, high-grade Japanese matcha experience. Definitely worth every penny!
