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

I am a huge tea drinker (black, green, and oolong) and this matcha powder is one of the best I’ve tried. It is floral, fragrant, and tastes like real matcha. It has no bitter aftertaste and dissolves well in both warm and cold water. The color is a vibrant green not like the muddy brownish green I’ve seen in inferior matcha powders. I’ve used it to make both iced matcha lattes and hot matcha and they are equally great. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but you don’t need to use a lot to get the flavor and it is still cheaper than buying match lattes at coffee shops.

This is such a delicious matcha powder. The color is a beautiful, vibrant green and the texture is a perfectly fine powder. It has an earthy, umami flavor that is absolutely incredible. It mixes well in both hot and cold liquids and does not clump up. It is a good price for the size of the bag, as it lasts quite a long time. It doesn’t explicitly state the caffeine content, but I notice after my morning latte that I am perfectly energized and have a steady flow throughout the day, with no afternoon crash like I tend to experience with coffee or espresso. I’ve made matcha for friends and family and they have all been decently impressed; I’ve even inspired a few people to purchase Naoki brand matcha for themselves! I like my matcha lattes sweetened so I mix this with milk and add the tiniest bit of agave syrup, and it is the perfect morning pick me up. Definitely try it for yourself!

I’ve tried a handful of different matcha brands, and Naoki’s Superior Blend has been one of the better ones for everyday use. The powder is very fine, has a bright green color, and mixes smoothly with a whisk without leaving much grit at the bottom. Flavor-wise, it’s fresh and slightly earthy with a mild natural sweetness, but it doesn’t have the harsh bitterness that cheaper matcha can sometimes have. I’ve used it both traditionally with hot water and in iced matcha lattes, and it works especially well for lattes because the flavor still comes through after adding milk. The packaging also does a good job keeping the matcha fresh between uses. It isn’t the cheapest option, but based on the taste, texture, and overall quality, I think the price is reasonable. I’d definitely purchase it again.

I'll be honest - I don't have much experience with ceremonial grade matcha, or really any matcha for that matter. I can't discern the difference between a high quality ceremonial matcha, and a decent ceremonial grade matcha. However, I made a matcha latte for a friend and she said this was the brightest matcha she had seen (after sifting it) and that apparently brightness correlates to quality. I made a matcha latte with the set in the picture. This particular matcha sifts very nicely and is very fine. I like how I feel more of a "slow" energy throughout the day rather than feeling wired and crash immediately after. The tin is a nice touch - it is a very high quality tin and it looks nice. The seal, while it may not be "airtight", seems to seal tight enough where I can pick it up by the lid and it doesn't slide off. It is definitely a learning curve to make latte art with it. I don't know if that has to do with matcha prep, but I included a picture of my best one so far lol. All in all, I will probably stick to this brand and buy them. I am happy with the taste and how easy it is to drink - not overly powerful, just subtle enough to taste the matcha but not too bitter either.

Good color but has a more earthly and vegetal flavor which I did not like. It is a good quality and fresh matcha with no bitterness. Not the best but if you need a drinkable matcha in a hurry then this is perfect for that. You can't beat one day shipping when you realize you wont have enough matcha for tomorrow.

This matcha exceeded my expectations! The powder is vibrant green, mixes smoothly with very little clumping, and has a fresh, rich flavor with minimal bitterness. It makes a creamy latte as well as a traditional cup of matcha. The quality is excellent for the price, and the packaging keeps it fresh. If you’re looking for a smooth, high-quality ceremonial matcha, this is a great choice. I’ll definitely be buying it again.

Best matcha deal Ive found! Great color, amazing taste, and the amount you get for this price is unbeatable for the quality. Definitely recommend!

I absolutely love this matcha! The quality is noticeable from the first taste, it has a smooth, rich flavor without the harsh bitterness I’ve experienced with other matchas. It blends beautifully for both hot and iced matcha, and it has become one of my go-to options when I want a really good matcha latte at home. The flavor is balanced and satisfying without needing a ton of sweetener to make it enjoyable. The 40g size is also great for getting a good amount of servings while still keeping the matcha fresh. If you’re a matcha lover or looking to upgrade your at-home matcha, this is definitely one I would recommend.
