Kiyo Matcha Premium Grade Toyokage Ceremonial Uji Matcha - Pure Japanese First Harvest Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder from Uji, Japan (40g/1.4oz)

I am new to matcha and have tried 4-5 five different brands is this price point and this the best one so far. Richest green, Nice creaminess not a lot of bitter notes but still rich in flavor. Still learning and exploring but I am sure I will circle back to this one. Sorry for the crappy photo was reviewing the whisk and that was the focus of the photo but you can see the nice foam and the rich green color.Want to give update several month later. First I want to be clear what version I order. It was Kiyo Matcha Premium Grade Toyokage Ceremonial Uji Matcha - Pure Japanese First Harvest Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder from Uji, Japan (40g/1.4oz) I have had over a dozen matcha now and at least 3 of these were superior. However those there were also significantly more expensive. The best was more than double price per gram and the other two about 20% more in price. One other observation I see with these teas is that the greener teas tend to have a little more moisture so they tend to clump a little more so you definitely have to use a sifter. It's counterintuitive, but the dryer tees are actually easier to mix, but I also think when you over dry delicate matcha and the tea you lose some flavor.I still stand by this being an excellent tea and I think it was separates it from a lot of others. It's a solid value at the high end. It's no longer the best tea I've tasted, but it's in the top 25% and I'm only talking about high end Matcha tea.

Tastes great, mm so good! Nice green color and good for drinks and concoctions…

For the price, it is a bit expensive to justify.But in terms of flavor, it very good if you are looking to get a large quantity of ceremonial grade matcha to drink on a daily basis, but don't want to spend too much for high quality, low quantity.It is worth noting that how you prepare the matcha (temperature, tools, etc.) will affect the final product.Overall, the flavor is good and yields a good final product.

Okay WOW. For the price (at the time I ordered I paid $26/40g) the quality is amazing. I didn't know what to expect ordering from amazon, but the taste, color, texture of everything is 10/10. It's smooth and earthy (I prefer the more grass-y matcha, I'm not sure how to explain) and I love making matcha tonics so mixing a teaspoon (or two) of matcha, sparkling bevy of choice and some sweetner is soooo yummy! Sucks that it sold out right after I bought it - otherwise I would stock up!

Good tea

I have been drinking matcha TEA (Americano) for a while now to cut back on sugar and dairy. I have also tried various brands including Ippudo, Naoki, Marukyu Koyamaen, and more (100g+). No matter what temperature I try to mix Kiyo with, the matcha tastes like grass water. Flavor is strong but not pleasant. The matcha itself is a dull green color but gets lighter after whisking. Overall not great and is probably the worst matcha I’ve had out of the 4-5 I have tried. If you can’t get the Japanese matcha I would just go with the Naoki Organic Spring First Harvest on Amazon for the best value.

Love this Matcha company . Kiyo matcha is 100% authentic Japanese matcha. I have tried many different kinds of matcha and have to say this company’s matcha is my favorite. From the classic to the heritage -they are all high quality Japanese matcha . Actually the best Japanese Matcha in my opinion. Will continue to buy this matcha brand as long as it is available

I was very disappointed with this Matcha . The first two times did tasted ok . But on the third occasion it was tasting like a spoil Milk I remove the bag and noticed the it was wet with some disgusting smell I have no idea why the wetness since it has been in dry area an never any cross contamination with anything. At the beginning I thought it was the Milk and trow it away and use different Milk and taste was same that’s when I realized it was the Matcha powder and removed from the can and noticed that awful smell an wetness. Very disappointing because it is expensive!
