Heapwell Matcha - Classic Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder from Japan, 50g | Ideal for Lattes & Smoothies

Bright green colour, nice taste, good quality matcha, and also a good price.

The only reason that I purchased this Matcha was to use in my smoothie batches... I have an issue where I can't chew food because of ongoing procedures that are removing my teeth to access bone fragments, so it will probably be a good few years before I can comfortably chew again (most likely with dentures or implants). So I have been making these 2-day smoothie batches with over 50+ ingredients (all healthy & extremely nutritious) and decided to add some Matcha into the mix - obviously for it's health-related benefits + medicinal properties!.. I use a lot of different powdered ingredients in addition to the many other types, so it makes a lot of sense to use something like this, as it is ingested whole, doesn't take up any extra 'space' in the mixture and can be used in all smoothies! At first, it doesn't like to mix, but after about 5-10 seconds, it stops being hydrophobic and begins to partially dissolve, until it is fully blended into the mixture. I was apprehensive about the potentially organic/earthy flavour ruining my carefully curated unique concoction, as I have perfected the 'ultimate' Best-tasting & most delectable smoothie in the world, with complicated, yet dreamy flavours, plus an incredibly creamy and irresistible texture (it really is something incredible AND super healthy, yet tastes like the best dessert in the world!)… It has to be perfect, because I have to eat it everyday! The Matcha does NOT produce an overpowering or unpleasant flavour and can hardly be tasted, yet instils a subtle hint of an earthy, yet fresh/clean green tea taste to the delicious mixture. It balances well with the complex foundation of the flavour profiles and inhibits a mildly contrasted note of organic-tasting herbal tea that provides a distinct 'boost' to the creaminess of the other fruit, nuts & seed infusions that are exotic. (Also, it doesn't need to be brewed before use in smoothies - just add the powder directly into the mixture, which is convenient!). I got this as a 'tester' pack for the new addition and am happy with the product! It has a very distinctive green hue, that is both bright and vigorous; I can say that it borders artificial AND dreamscape fresh green flora. It depends on how much you use, but even the tiniest quantity has a massive impact on colour-change, regardless of how big the [smoothie] batch is! (Usually a 'swamp-green' hue, but if used in large quantities, or added to a predominantly 'green' ingredient smoothie mix, than it can take on a more 'forest-green' colour profile). The pouch it is packaged in has a relatively 'premium' appearance and feels to be great quality, like it's contents! It is re-sealable and rather durable/thick, with high-quality graphics + finishing. As for the powder itself... I noticed that it does not 'clump' together and remains in a fine-dust state, regardless of manipulation and retains this desirable state within the pouch - even after repeated exposure to extremely mild humidity/moisture. I definitely recommend this product, mainly for it's undeniable health benefits + medicinal properties; it IS on the pricey side, but that is commonplace for such high-quality, premium-grade products - you get what you pay for and expense/value is a prominent sign of quality. (I was expecting a little more than what was vended at this price, but not really complaining). ***(EDIT)*** If you 'dip' your finger in it and taste the powder, it does actually taste like a VERY strong, earthy 'tea' - well it IS ground-up tea-leaves!.. And it transfers ridiculously easily to ANY surface, as it is an incredibly fine powder (similar to a heavy, full-bodied flour), which is a pain when pouring from the pouch because you always get some stuck to the pouch above the grip-seal; any moisture can quickly turn a spill into a thick, sticky-ish substance with dye-like properties... +++ The picture makes it [the powder] look quite a bit 'lighter' (brighter; in hue) than under normal conditions - it has a considerably darker appearance... more like a dark-bright forest-green, depending on the lighting conditions + shade, colour & intensity. Under solid lighting, it appears brighter than standard, especially under white-light as opposed to yellow (natural) lightning. ***

I have never had Matcha tea before so I thought I'd give it a try. I was not disappointed. Pretty good stuff!

I am completely new to matcha and wasn’t sure which one to get. I’m very pleased that I bought this powder! It is very nice. Not too bitter and doesn’t have a strong, icky grassy taste like I’ve heard some people describe. It’s very pleasant, especially made into a latte. It’s creamy and smooth and leaves a nice aftertaste in your mouth. I like that it’s lab-tested to ensure purity and quality and that it is absent of contaminants, which is very important. It’s just pure, beautiful tea, grown and harvested with a lot of care and love. I bought this out of sheer curiosity as I’ve been watching a lot of people on YouTube and elsewhere making matcha desserts and various other delicious creations. But I also bought it for my mental health and physical well-being, and to anyone else who is suffering such issues, I can’t say 100% as it’s early days but I am already feeling much brighter after consuming this tea. It feels cleansing and soothing on the body and mind. Just one thing, it can be a little bit lumpy, so just make sure you use a tea strainer and mix it all up, well. Other than that - all good. I highly recommend this! Much love. 💚

mixes well and nice taste but too sweet. Wish it didn't have added sweeteners. Wouldn't call this high grade due to all the extra ingredients.

Order on repeat. Great quality matcha, tastes great, perfect for iced matcha or lattes.

Comprado a 9,9€ Es un Té Verde Matcha Japonés de Grado Premium es una opción excepcional para los amantes del té verde. Aunque soy habitual de las infusiones no soy experto en té, y no se qué relevancia tiene que cuente con el galardón del prestigioso premio "Great Taste", pero lo que sí se que se confirma su calidad y sabor una vez que lo pruebas. Una de las características más destacadas de este producto es su versatilidad. Además de preparar té matcha tradicional, también es ideal para añadir a lattes, batidos y tartas, lo que permite disfrutar de su sabor único en una variedad de recetas. Por contra, el precio de este té matcha de grado premium es más elevado en comparación con otras opciones en el mercado. Aunque, personalmente creo que su calidad justifica el precio. He probado alguno de supermercado con la etiqueta "bio" y dejaba bastante que desear, así que para mi es una buena compra. Salvo que seas de los que bebe té (y el mismo) a todas horas, y teniendo en cuenta que tan solo se añade una pequeña porción (1gramo, lo que equivale a lo que cubre una minicucharilla), el sobre, aunque no muy grande, debe durar una buena temporada. Compra recomendada.

Je retrouve le bon gout du matcha à un prix très correct.

Maca-Tee ist ausgezeichnet. Ich trinke die Kombination zweimal täglich mit Milch. Der einzige schlechte Kommentar ist der Preis für 50gr. Für diesen Preis können Sie doppelt so viel Verpackung kaufen.

I’ve tried several matcha powders, and the Heapwell Superfoods Japanese Matcha stands out in terms of flavor and quality. The vibrant green color is a testament to its authenticity, and it blends perfectly, whether you’re making traditional tea or lattes. What I love most is its versatility—I’ve used it in baking, smoothies, and even skincare recipes. The taste is smooth and earthy, without the bitterness you sometimes get with lower-quality matcha. If you’re looking for an affordable, high-quality matcha, this is a great option. Highly recommend it for matcha lovers and beginners alike!

Per gli amanti del matcha questo è sicuramente un buon prodotto, infatti non me la sento di dare una valutazione negativa. L’ho acquistato per provarlo, ma personalmente non mi ha conquistata: la consistenza e l’odore non fanno per me. Detto questo, il prodotto in sé è valido e la qualità sembra ottima. Semplicemente, è una questione di gusti personali. Per chi ama il vero matcha, probabilmente sarà perfetto… ma per me non è scattata la scintilla.
