Matcha Powder - Japanese ceremonial grade Kyoto Uji First Harvest Stone-Milled Green Tea Powder (40g / 1.4oz) - TAROU(太郎) -

I don’t know too much about matcha, however I do know what not so great matcha is like. This is not that. The color is a very nice green, it smells very nice and mild. I only drink matcha as a latte with some oatmilk and sugar free vanilla syrup so I can’t tell you all the nuances of the flavor notes. It’s a very pleasant taste. Not overly grassy or anything, dare I’d say a nice balanced flavor. It’s not super strong. I do 1tsp matcha to 8oz milk, 1oz syrup. (I know, this isn’t the ideal way to make matcha, but I like it this way) and I give it a mix with a mixer wand and bam that’s my matcha! For the price, you can’t go wrong! I recommend if your new to matcha/don’t want to spend too much on it

Extremely smooth & creamy. This non bitter matcha froths nicely when making (thin)Usucha or (thicker)Koicha matcha tea and my daily matcha lattes. Very reasonably priced for a high quality matcha. I will definitely purchase this great tasting matcha again!

This matcha is good, i would say it’s mild. I can taste the matcha flavor but if you put too much milk it’s not as a strong taste. It was not bitter at all, and it was smooth. I had no problem other than i was hoping it was more medium bodied. The color is great. I heard people saying that the powder smells weird but it doesn’t. If you plan on buying it don’t put too much milk and i use 2 tsp of powder every time. I used like 1/2 cup of milk after i whisk my matcha and it tasted good. I would say it’s definitely good for beginners and people who prefer mild matcha but can still taste the matcha flavor.

Tastes great! The color is bright and blends well for lattes, traditional ceremonial, teas, etc. plan to purchase again

I really like this one. I got it on sale so the price was pretty good. Compared to Crafti, my current fave, the color is less yellow and it froths up smoother. I don’t drink usucha, so I can’t fully review the taste and aroma, but for the price, it’s definitely worth trying for beginner.

havent found or tried too many high quality matcha powders, but for 18 this one was pretty good- the color was ok green, foamed pretty well, and had a stronger taste than some other matcha powders ive had (like jade leaf artisinal barista blend) with milk in a latte. for the price, the size and the quality i think are quite good

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.

Great matcha especially for price! While its admittedly not the best matcha I've had, I think its probably going to be hard to find one this good at this price point anywhere else. I love making matcha at home but I had a hard time justifying having it daily because of how expensive matcha has gotten but this has resolved that issue and has become my daily matcha! Overall it had a nice subtle sweetness to it. Its not too astringent either which makes it a great matcha to have by itself as a latte or an usucha. Its also strong enough though that if you want to mix any sweetness or other flavors like various jams (which is my go to) you can definitely still taste the matcha. Def recommend trying this one!

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