Kirishima Kagoshima Matcha, Organic Green Tea Powder, Ceremonial Grade, Teahouse Edition Premium First Harvest, Japanese origin (1.06 Ounce Tin)

I was a bit uneasy when trying but once I tried it I have been convinced to buy again. The color is a bright green! Taste is a tad bitter but pairs just perfect with oat milk and honey. It’s the right type of bitter if you know matcha you know what I mean.

I saw some reviews mentioning bitterness, but I didn’t get that at all! The flavor is smooth, slightly sweet, and not overpowering. When mixed with milk for a latte, I actually wish the matcha flavor came through a bit more, but that’s just my personal taste. I’d love to see a latte-grade version in the future! The price point is amazing for the quality, making this a fantastic option for both traditional matcha and lattes. At this price, I will definitely repurchase.

This is my first time trying this brand and I will definitely throw this on my list of matcha teas my family loves. I will definitely buy this again!

I am a long-time lover of matcha and have also studied the tea, producing a documentary in Japan called Matcha: The Way of Tea. It was on location in Kagoshima and Kyoto. I have my favorites, but from time to time, I like to try and compare other brands. This product had several things going for it that made me want to try it. First, it's a good price for a ceremonial tea, which is the first harvest every May. Second, it is organic. So why did I give a 4 and not a 5? The tea has a weak flavor for being a ceremonial tea. The tea is not dark enough in color. The reason for these two critiques is possibly, this was not shaded for six weeks, but still the first harvest picked in an open field. For truly delicious matcha, it should be smooth but richer in taste. Most of the great ceremonials cost a little bit more, like $30-$35. Because of the good price, organic, and ceremonial title, I gave it a try. Would I decline it if someone gave me a cup. NO. It's matcha, it's green, it's healthy. Would I buy it again? I would not. I need a richer flavor. And when you have had better matchas, you will spend the extra money.

I just started drinking matcha and i wanted to try a different matcha… i looked on tiktok people was saying it was pretty good especially coming from amazon. me personally i dislike, it dont matter what type of sweetener you put in with this matcha its sooooo bitter, no go for me.

I'm a daily matcha drinker and have tried many brands, especially all those on Amazon. I normally buy ippudo but they've become difficult to get with prime delivery so I was forced to buy something else. I'm so happy I took the risk and ordered this one instead. It's very good. There's virtually no astringent taste, and very little bitterness. The smell is wonderful. It's almost like a dessert matcha except it isn't. It also frothed up super well. This may become my new go to brand.

I don’t know if I’m just a rare case . This is the first matcha i’ve ever bought and I’ve only tried the Starbucks matcha once and I liked it and I was trying it to possibly switch to matcha and stop with the coffee because I heard it was a clean energy, no jitters and no crash. Sounds like a dream . Anyways , I tried this and it tastes great BUT I did not like how it made me feel at all . It made me dizzy , my eyes felt strained like there was a weird pressure and I felt more jittery than ever . It made my vision all weird and blurry too . I thought maybe I was having an off day and then tried it again the next day just to see if I was in my head and same thing happened all over again . I have no clue if it is the brand or what . Maybe I have an off reaction . Like I said , I tried Starbucks matcha as my test for matcha to see if I like it and I felt fine but I know Starbucks isn’t quality matcha from my understanding . All I can say is this stuff was a terrible experience for me and I’m sad I’m not a matcha girl because I was really excited about the change and now I’m afraid to try anymore matcha . It’s also too expensive to attempt to buy a different brand and lose more money .

it has a nice aroma to it and the color is also a wonderful bright green. it’s a pretty good well-balanced matcha that’s great for lattes and for the daily. i recommend it 💚
