Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder, 2 lb | First Harvest Culinary Grade | Single-Ingredient Green Tea Powder | Certified Organic | Gluten, Dairy, Soy & Tree Nut Free

Didn't like the taste and texture.

I wanted to clear up some confusion regarding negative reviews claiming this matcha contains "heavy metals" because the powder stands on end or reacts to plastic spoons. First, the science: Toxic heavy metals aren't magnetic: The actual toxic contaminants people worry about in food safety—like lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury—are completely non-magnetic. They will never react to magnets or cause dry powder to form spikes. It's static electricity: Matcha is ground extremely fine. When I first opened the bag, I used a plastic spoon and tested the powder directly with a powerful neodymium earth magnet—nothing was raised, pulled, or forming spikes like in some of those customer photos and videos. However, after pouring the powder through a plastic funnel and using plastic and wooden chopsticks to portion it out, the friction generated a static charge. The ultra-light matcha particles simply aligned with the electrostatic field, creating those needle-like "spikes." It was only after generating that charge that the spike effect happened. If you use a metal spoon or touch the scoop with a grounded finger, the static charge disappears immediately. As for the product itself: For the price, this 2 lb bag is an absolute steal. The batch I received arrived bright green with no brownish or oxidized tint to it. Since it is culinary grade, it has a punchy, earthy flavor, but it works fantastically well for daily protein lattes, smoothies, and homemade matcha ice cream without breaking the bank. I split mine into vacuum-sealed portions for long-term storage to preserve freshness. Highly recommended if you understand what culinary matcha is meant for!

I love the flavor and quality of this matcha. Have bought it several times in smaller bags so decided to get the 32 ounce bag this time. For over $42.00, I got a bag that was less than half full! Very disappointed. Unfortunately, will not buy again because of paying for a 32 ounce bag, and maybe getting 12-14 ounces.

Good quality. Fresh. Tasty. Clean energy. Quantity as listed. Easy to use, versitile.

I absolutely love this Matcha. The amount you get for the price is fantastic and the flavor is so good.

Haven’t tried out yet but after checking thoroughly the package, there’s no indication showing a country that the matcha was made from. Without a country source, we would assume this matcha was manufactured in China or other countries rather than Japan. Costco carries 2 types of matcha teas, Organic and non Organic. Both of these matcha teas have “Product of Japan” printed on the bags. If no proof or explanations from the seller, we’re doubtful that the quality of this matcha tea matches Costco matcha teas.
