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

This matcha powder has quickly become a favorite in my kitchen. It tastes clean and vibrant—exactly what I look for in a pure, high-quality matcha. The color is beautifully bright green, and the flavor is smooth with just the right hint of natural sweetness and earthiness, without any bitterness. I’ve been using it in morning lattes and smoothies, and it blends effortlessly with both water and milk. A little goes a long way, so the jar lasts longer than I expected. I also love knowing it’s just pure matcha with no weird fillers—feels like a real treat that’s good for you too. Overall, this matcha is top-notch: flavorful, easy to use, and genuinely delicious. If you want a pure matcha that tastes great whether you’re sipping it traditional style or mixing it up, this one’s a winner.

I really like this matcha. The energy level is smooth and steady—no jitters, no crash, just clean focus that lasts. It’s also super easy to use: mixes well with water or milk and doesn’t clump, which makes it perfect for daily routines. The taste is what really sold me. It’s authentic, earthy, and naturally rich—not sweetened, not artificial, and definitely not that fake, overly flavored stuff you find everywhere else. You can tell it’s high quality the moment you sip it. I love that it’s made with organic ingredients, which makes it feel even better to drink regularly. In terms of value for money, it’s absolutely worth it—the quality matches the price, and a little goes a long way. Bonus points for the beauty factor too: vibrant green color, clean presentation, and it just feels like a premium product overall. Highly recommend if you want real matcha that actually tastes like matcha.

I’m going to subscribe! No bitterness! And it’s deliciously super healthy made with 165-175F filtered water. I switched from mixing healthy real cream ( divine x 10) to eating quality 70-100 percent dark chocolate with it to double the superfood benefits. Unfortunately an expert said using dairy with matcha reduces the absorption of the health properties in matcha (like preventing cancer and much more). Something about the casein in the dairy encapsulates the health properties, this reducing the ability to absorb all the health benefits of matcha. It doesn’t fully block it from being absorbed. But it does greatly reduce it. I’m not an expert. I’m simply sharing this info. Also it’s a breath bright green! So it’s very fresh!

This matcha is smooth and delicious. It does taste far better than most of the matcha you would get in certain coffee/tea rooms or bars. The trick is also not too use too much. Some people overdo it, and it can make you jittery and even sick if you use too much. I only use little less than a teaspoon per serving (or cup). It is true though that this is the best-tasting matcha I have tried so far. I purchased the superior ceremonial blend, which is a good value for the price. I would highly recommend this matcha for newcomers and those who don't have much experience with matcha. The color is also excellent. Many times I have ordered matcha in the past and it was too murky, but the Naoki brand is a bright green and smells very good too. It is my favorite and I am very pleased with it!

I am a beginner Matcha enthusiast and I love i making matcha lattes at home (my favorite is Strawberry Matcha lattes). I have repurchased Superior Ceremonial 3× now. I am on my second 3.5 oz bag. I've also tried another well known popular affordable matcha (Jade Leaf) and I immediately decided it is better to splurge accouple more dollars in purchasing Naoki. The texture of the powder is extremely fine. The color is a beautiful dark vibrant green. The flavor is very light with a very low bitterness and a hint of sweetness on its own. It has a very clean taste. However, the flavor does get easily over shadowed by milk and sweetners in a latte. If you want to taste the matcha better you need to add more matcha powder (~4.5 grams). Considering the fact that I am not drinking Matcha traditionally, I do not need a flavor profile that is super complex like what other matcha enthusiasts rave about (often times their recs are super overpriced for its size and/or hard to get). I just need something that will be paired well when used with milk and sweetners. I look for matcha with good quality, affordability, and easy accessibility to repurchase (via Prime adds extra brownie points). Superior Ceremonial checks all the boxes to a first good intro to matcha!

Best smooth matcha vs. the latte ones I used to purchase that tasted sweeter but wasn't purely matcha. It was a lighter green and had less matcha. Love this brand and love this one. Not bitter and much more creamier and pleasureable.

I LOVE this matcha powder. It makes a delicious iced matcha latte! Although, the pouch to keep the moisture out and “keep the product ‘fresh’” can get in the way when you get close to the bottom of the bag.. Also, it’s a little hard to get a scoop into the bag and get anything out when you get about 2/3 of the way finished with the product, which is annoying. However, I’m giving it 5 stars because the flavor is great, it’s made from green tea which in itself has great health benefits, the package is a pretty good size for the price, and it also gives a good boost of energy when I need it!

The product is a high quality one, and deserving of a "5," but company's manner of communicating key details about it takes away from it. Example: The product's bag indicates its Expiration Date, but fails to show its Manufacturing Date. Because of this, buyers cannot easily tell "how old the product is"--how long it's been on the "Shelf." This is especially important for products like Matcha Green Tea, given that its natural compounds are very sensitive and can easily degrade. So Man- ufacturing Date could give a clue as to how long it's been sitting on the shelf.

Sehr toller und leckerer Matcha.

Naoki Matcha's Superior Ceremonial Blend is a top-tier matcha that balances taste, versatility, and health benefits. It's an excellent choice for both matcha enthusiasts and newcomers alike. The flavor is smooth and naturally sweet, with just the right hint of traditional matcha bitterness. It mixes effortlessly in both tea and lattes, and the vibrant green color shows its quality.

El sabor es riquísimo. Súper recomendado. Una excelente opción al llegar del trabajo cansado.
