Naoki Matcha Organic Ceremonial First Spring Blend – Authentic Japanese First Harvest Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder from Kagoshima, Japan (100g / 3.5oz)

Very smooth, fresh matcha with a clean taste and vibrant color. Mixes well and tastes high quality. I’ve been enjoying it daily and would definitely order again!

Beautiful quality, bright green and smooth. Love the fresh taste and usually drink it only mixed with hot water. One of the best value for money matcha I have found so far Will definitely re-purchase!

Naoki Matcha Organic Ceremonial First Spring blend has pleasantly surprised me and I would definitely recommend this product. The vibrancy of the powder along with the fragrant notes of sweet nuttiness and umami is hard to miss upon opening the bag! The price point of $40 is very decent and affordable in this era of finding a matcha worth your buck. This matcha blends incredibly extremely well, with no graininess and comes out extremely smooth. The usucha is not very creamy by itself, but still very smooth. I cannot verify whether this blend is true to being ceremonial or organic, however after ordering from a couple brands off amazon, it’s safe for me to say this is a great matcha at an affordable price point. Price Point: For one serving, or latte I use 4g/2tsp matcha and 120g of Planet Oat Barista Lovers Oatmilk. I make a 12oz Iced Matcha Latte for $1.90, if you’re trying to avoid spending $8+, Naoki is your bag!

this matcha is great quality and for the price it has very nice notes. i prefer this variation to the black bag

Perfect for lattes or ceremonial tea with just water. The taste smooth and slightly sweet and a little aromatic which is very delightful. It’s not as grainy as other matchas. I also added it to ice cream to make a matcha affogato, and this one is really good for that.

Some people might say that this matcha was bitter, but that is because they're not preparing it correctly. I COLD WHISK this matcha with cold 2% milk and about 4g of matcha. Whisk well until it's all smooth. Then pour over sweetened milk and ice. If you whisk this matcha with boiling water, it will taste bitter. I also use 160F water sometimes, but the taste isn't as sweet as if you whisked it. Very good price for the amount you get. I've been buying this matcha for 3 yrs.

Was hesitant in buying this because the other reviews says it’s a blend and there’s a lot of grainy texture after whisking. I don’t use the whisk but I do a hand shaken cold brew in my water bottle and was not grainy for me. Smooth, aromatic and tastes creamy. Was a good purchase for me. Pricey though, will probably just drive up to my local Asian market next time but convenient for when I can’t.

This is my first time trying this brand of matcha. My cheaper go to is Matcha love and sometimes Jade matcha if it’s on sale. I made a matcha latte with 3/4 cup of hot water, 1/4 cup of warmed whole milk, 10g of honey and 2 g of sifted naoki matcha. The matcha is bright green in color with a mild nutty flavor and mild astringency and bitterness. Nothing overpowering or overwhelming. Very pleasant. The powder blended very well. My cheaper go to matchas have a higher astringent and bitterness profile with a little bit of fishiness thrown in there. **Sifting matcha powder through a fine mesh sieve makes all the difference in taste and blend ability! Try it!!! ** So far, I would definitely buy again.

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

Best product amazing flavor - high quality matcha. I ordered two more.

It’s sweet, good consistency, and very tasty.

matcha lovers who have experience with matcha don't get this. the flavour profile is almost non-existent it's so light you don't get the depth of the matcha taste.
