Jade Leaf Matcha Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder - Authentic Japanese Origin - Artisanal Teahouse Edition Premium First Harvest (1 Pound Bulk Pouch)

This was my first time trying this ceremonial matcha powder. I'm pleasantly surprised with the blend-ability and taste. I find that if sifted and whisked properly it is not as bitter for me personally as some other brands I have tried.I sift it then add an ounce of warm/hot water, blend with a bamboo whisk until smooth then add a few more ounces of the hot water along with steamed coconut milk and a dash of coconut sugar or maple syrup for a bit of sweetness.

I have recently grown to love matcha and decided to try making my own. I really wanted a cost friendly matcha that was ceremonial grade. I was amazed by the bright green color and was even more amazed by the taste. This matcha definitely has a slight bitter taste but in a very delicious way. I would like to say I’m no pro but the flavor strength was so good! I put about a half tsp and it’s so strong! The texts also very good, it’s not grainy at all! I love this so much!!!!

Heavens Yes!I ordered the Barista because from the description the Teahouse was sweeter but I actually like the slight bitter bite of green tea. I don’t even sweeten it so I’m a true matcha lover. It’s great. Fresh perfectly Kermit the Frog green (the teahouse version should be a bit darker usually) and most importantly as I’m super in tune with my body, my body loves it. You just feel great when you drink it instantly separate from the caffeine. I think it’s your body recognizing the amazing nutrition. In case you didn’t know matcha is rich in polyphenols like catechins- powerful antioxidants in addition to chlorophyll and quercetin! Great for inflammation and allergies. Oh and there’s L-Theanine too which has many benefits!What’s not to love?Watch your sugars Loves.This is great in lattes but I have yet to bake with it. I personally use it just with water, with organic 2% milk sometimes, but most of the time unsweetened coconut milk. 🍵

I would have given 5 stars for this product, because the first purchase that i made, had really sold me on this brand. I found the first order to be of high quality. It was smooth, blended well and mildly flavorful. however the second purchase was not quite the same quality. It was definitely a lower quality batch, the second time around, it had slight bitter aftertaste and a little chalky. I am not a novice matcha drinker, I know how to wisk the traditional way and I alway strain the powder before mixing to reduce clumping, and I am aware of the optimal water temperature for mixing. I am debating on whether or not to purchase it a third time or to try another high quality brand.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Good quality matcha

Amazing, perfect, buy it.

This matcha is ok. Nice bright green but the packaging seal on the bag is testy and difficult to reclose. You lose some matcha that puffs out into the air every time you have to open and close it. It would be better if it came in a tin.

This was my first time trying this product but I fully enjoyed and would get again
