Chaism Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder - Premium First Harvest USDA Organic Gluten-Free Vegan, 100% Pure Unsweetened No Additives, 1.06oz Tin

This ceremonial matcha is fantastic! The color is a beautiful, vibrant green, and it smells fresh and earthy. When whisked, it creates a smooth, frothy cup with a rich flavor that isn’t too bitter. I’ve tried several matchas before, but this one stands out for its quality and taste. It’s perfect for traditional tea ceremonies or just a calming morning ritual. The powder is fine and blends easily, making it easy to enjoy every time. If you’re a matcha lover or looking to try a high-quality ceremonial grade, this one is definitely worth it. It makes every cup feel special!

Best Matcha, smooth taste, vibrant green, probably comes to about $2 a cup though, so while it's not cheap, it's still cheaper than a $6-7 cup at the cafe! Love this matcha.

Let me start by saying I am quickly becoming an Amazon matcha connoisseur. I am learning how to study where the Matcha is sourced from if it's authentic, stoneground and until now I was only buying product of Japan Matcha. I bought this by mistake early on and just opened it tonight. It was vivid green just as it's supposed to be for first Harvest. It tastes amazing as in the unami was perfectly balanced. I am now reading up on Chinese Matcha as it was started there but apparently the soil in Japan provides a higher grade of Matcha because of how it's prepared. Below I have included some research on the difference between Japanese Matcha and Chinese. Shade-Growing: Tea plants are shaded for several weeks before harvest, increasing chlorophyll and L-theanine content, resulting in a vibrant green color and pronounced umami flavor. Steaming and Air-Drying: The leaves are steamed to prevent oxidation and air-dried to preserve their flavor and nutrients. Stone-Grinding: Traditionally, and for ceremonial-grade matcha, leaves are slowly ground using granite stone mills (ishi-usu). This preserves the delicate flavor compounds and creates an ultra-fine, smooth powder that mixes beautifully with water. The process is slow, taking roughly an hour to grind 30 grams. Chinese Matcha: While the practice of powdered tea originated in China, the traditional methods of matcha production evolved differently. Today, Chinese matcha production differs from its Japanese counterpart in several ways: Lack of Shade-Growing: Chinese matcha is not typically grown in the shade, resulting in a less vibrant green color and a less pronounced umami flavor, according to Matcha.com. Pan-Frying: Chinese green tea, including some varieties used for matcha, is often pan-fried instead of steamed, which can alter the flavor profile, making it more earthy or even bitter, according to Matcha.com. Grinding Methods: Chinese matcha may be ground using faster, modern machinery, which generates heat that can degrade the tea's quality. Some is also still hand-ground, according to 3 Leaf Tea. This can result in a coarser, more inconsistent powder texture. After reading all of this I found this Matcha to be of a very high quality and as good if not better than some high grade I have had from Japan. I would definitely buy this again. I love preparing my matcha and it is truly a peaceful part of my day. This is quite expensive for a small amount so you really have to search for others to find your favorite at a fair price.

immediately I think that the tin is SO small for the price when I unpackaged this.. But as soon as I started making it I realized a little goes a long way, It was SUPER green and vibrant!! It also tasted just as good as it looked - literally the exact same from expensive coffee shops, maybe even better. I will be repurchasing

I recently tried this matcha powder and was genuinely impressed by the quality. The color is a vibrant, bright green, which is always a good indicator of freshness, and the texture is very fine, making it easy to whisk without clumping. The flavor is smooth and well-balanced, with a natural sweetness and only a mild, pleasant bitterness. Overall, this is a high-quality matcha that delivers great flavor, consistency, and versatility. I would definitely purchase it again and recommend it to anyone looking for everyday matcha.

It was vibrant and conveniently packaged. The texture of the powder was very fine. The powder mixes up quite well as long as the water is the right temperature - too hot or too cold, and it doesn't mix as well. The texture of the tea, once mixed with water, is subtly thicker and presents itself with a nice, rich, vibrant green. The taste hits several notes (I don't profess to be an officinado), but it was only slightly grassy, no bitterness, light, aromatic, with a very delicate/light floral note (barely there but enough to detect). After finishing the cup, I do not feel a rush of energy, but I find that it does promote a lighter and overall pleasant feeling of well-being. I do not have a lot of experience with Matcha powder in general, but I do really enjoy this tea.

so good! very easy to use and actually tastes really good! I am a huge coffee drinker and this did give me some energy. i've tried making ice and hot drinks with the powder and it was very easy to mix and blend with oatmilk along with it being so smooth!

The powder is a nice green color and good quality. I just wish they would advertise the flavor profile of it more. It has a umami/seaweed taste to it, which wasn't what I was looking for. But it tastes fine in a latte.

Sabor neutro, se que agregarle leche puede cambiar el sabor pero aun el matcha deberia prevalecer no mucho pero algo, al menos en el tiempo que llevo tomando mantcha he notado ese diferenciador entre las marcas y segun si sea culinario o ceremonial y que lleve azúcar y no y que sea orgánico. Si lo recomiendo. Por mi al probar matcha culinario lo he sentido ligeramente dulce o menos amargo que el ceremonial y este matcha se acerca a lo ceremonial.

Doesn't Taste matcha like at all. The color is bright green made with preservatives

Bad taste

Me encantó 💕 esta muy delicioso 😋 el sabor es fuerte

Tiene buen color y sabor
