Otsuka Green Tea CoShizuoka Classic Matcha Powder - Made in Japan - Best For Drink, Latte, Dessert, Cake, Ice and more (Large - 100g)

This tea is Classic grade, which I think is equivalent to culinary grade. It says it’s best for dessert, ice cream, etc. Ceremonial grade would be used for making tea.However, I did use this for making mocha tea using a traditional whisk, and the result was far superior to other teas I have tried.I can say that this stands out for it’s flavour, smoothness and lack of any bitterness. Compared to other matcha teas I’ve used, this is by far the best.The brand has a rich history and a great reputation for its tea.If you are going to drink this tea, make sure to do it properly. The water should be about 80°C and the tea whisked vigorously. I’m sure anyone buying this tea will know what to do with it, but it pains me to watch people use matcha as a regular tea and ruin the delicate flavour.

In the last year or so I've got into Matcha tea lattes and having just run out of tea, have been on the lookout for a new pack.The tea itself is a lovely bright green colour and smells great. So far in use it tastes wonderful and have a stronger, and nicer flavour than what I was buying before. It's a joy to drink and once this is finished, I'll be looking to get some more of this.

This is 'classic grade' matcha. What that means is that it's a slightly more bitter, less refined matcha. It's not for ceremonial use or other premium grade activities. But if you're relatively new to matcha, this is probably the best you'll have had. It's certainly the real stuff and it'll make a perfectly decent drink, but it's best used as an ingredient.The flavour is pretty decent, rather robust and pleasant. I can drink this just fine. My wife is from Taiwan, so she's had a lifetime of green tea and this, to her, is a decent every-day or culinary matcha.

I personally don’t like the taste but I drink it for the health benefit. I don’t find it disgusting either. Drinking it as a latte or strawberry latte, it is very tasty. This matcha is very good quality. With just water, it has a strong flavour. You can tell it is fresh. It os very fine, so I supposed it can be used to make cakes.

At the time of this review you can buy this pack of matcha green tea for around £13i have tried a few matcha teas.this one is strong flavour.instruction are 1 teaspoon to 70 ml water, that is a small drink so i trebbled the water and eased back on the ground matcha powder but it was still very strong.i think it will be a bit of trial and error to get it right for me personallyIf you are thinking of buying one i would recommend it, I hope the review provides a bit more relevant information and is helpful

Absolutely love this matcha tea, it has such a nice subtle earthy taste to it, it's not too overpoweringb at all.It's great value for money, the bag is easy to reseal and store too.

This is an exceptionally good Matcha tea, full of rich and strong flavour. The tea arrived nicely foil-fresh packaged, in a resealable pouch allowing easy and airtight storage during use. As soon as you open the tea, the fragrance is lovely, exactly as expected.Matcha is an acquired taste, very bitter, but delicate - so use sparingly at first, you can always add more powder if not strong enough. I love this tea and this did not disappoint.In summary, this is a super, very good quality product. If you are a fan of Matcha tea, then undoubtedly this is a tea you’ll love. As noted, the taste does not disappoint. A lovely tea, reasonable value, recommended.I hope that you have found this review to be helpful.

Usually I see matcha being categorised as either "ceremonial grade" or "culinary grade" but this one doesn't appear to be either; rather it's quietly been labelled "classic grade" which I'm thinking is just another way of saying it's good but not ceremonial-good...Regardless of the grading, I think it's a high quality matcha; it's sourced from Japan (not China) and I also think it's good value for money (around £14/100g at the time of review). I'd get it again, it's much better than my go-to low budget variety.

The tea was very smooth, flavor was balanced. Easy to stir in. The tin it came in provided easy storage.

I love this matcha as it is easily blended. The price is good too.

Best green i have ever had with fair price i used buy other green tea and after drinking this tea I don’t want buy any other tea its best organic green tea

This is great green tea taste wise. I liked it very much.
