TASTE OF KYOTO Matcha Green Tea, Bulk Culinary, 8.80 Ounce

I have a huge concern with this product. I searched all brands of Matcha Tea and this was considered a superior brand and for the large size, it was a good deal. The first half of the bag was exactly what I expected a quality Matcha Tea to be. However after I used half of the bag, the bottom half I don't believe is true Matcha. When I make a cup, it's more like green water. I KNOW the bottom half of the bag is different from the top half. I was going to try and file a complaint or get a partial refund of some sort, but they say my window of return/refund closed a month after purchasing it. I feel like I was duped and out over $100.00Update: The seller was very customer service oriented - which makes a huge difference. I decided to give it another chance and ordered another bag. Since then, I average about 1 bag every other month. I love this stuff and the seller credits me the shipping charges for being a repeat customer! I still don't know what happened to the first bag I ordered; however the seller made it right, I gave it another try, and I'm happily drinking this matcha tea each morning. Thanks Taste Of Kyoto!Update 2021: I am STILL drinking this Matcha. It's amazing. A few months ago, I decided to try a very affordable culinary grade from another brand that was getting great reviews. I also tried an even more expensive ceremonial grade from a brand with stellar reviews. I still prefer this Matcha. Make sure you order from the seller Taste of Kyoto though. They are awesome!!

I love the matcha itself but I am not satisfied with the service, to be precise, the lack of inventory management. I received a package with a expiry date in 2024 in My last order , but my newest order the expiry date is Oct 2023. And this had happened many times in my history of ordering Teste of Kyoto reserve Matcha. I am a loyal fan, have been drinking this matcha for the last 15 years, I would love to see some improvement in inventory control. First Expiry First Out, ring a bell?

It's simply the best, brightest, greenest, & smoothest ceremonial matcha out there. It tastes so smooth & frothy that it's hard to believe that it's tea. The matcha is so good that it converts culinary matcha drinkers into ceremonial drinkers after their first cup, and they will end up buying a matcha kit, and a very nice tea bowl in order to fully enjoy this ceremonial ultra-grade matcha.P.S.I really like the fact that this company & product accepts EBT.

Respectable quality ceremonial grade matcha. While not the most vibrant of flavor, it's not bitter and totally drinkable straight. Compares closely to other ceremonials I've tried; Do Matcha, etc. Cost per ounce is around or under half the price of comparable competitor's 1 oz. tins. This item is the way to go if you drink straight matcha often.

I was a bit hesitant on spending over $100 for matcha, but seeing as how it was organic and was considerably cheaper than other organic matcha brands, I decided to give it a try. I am glad that I did! I have done my matcha research and you really want the matcha that has a vibrant green color. If it is brownish, the matcha doesn't have the same taste and ends up being bitter (not in a good way). Also, for drinking, you want the ceremonial grade. I adore this brand, and will continue to purchase from them. A word of advice though is that you should store some in a vacuum container for your everyday use separate from the entire bag. You should limit the exposure of matcha to air because it makes the matcha go bad quicker.In the picture, you can see TOK matcha on the left hand side compared to Vitacost organic matcha ($8 for under 2 oz). Definitely high quality!

I’ve tried a lot of different brands of matcha on Amazon, both ceremonial-grade and culinary-grade. Taste of Kyoto Culinary Matcha is my favorite. Even better when I am able to save money and buy this bulk bag on Subscribe and Save! I like to drink this culinary matcha cold with vanilla almond milk. I use a hand-held frother to mix it well so there are no clumps. When I want to drink matcha straight with just water, I drink Taste of Kyoto’s Reserve Matcha because it’s definitely smooth and never bitter, but when I want that classic green tea flavor, this culinary matcha is my choice. It’s still smoother than most I’ve tried here on Amazon, and is better or comparable with the more expensive ceremonial-grade options I’ve tried. I love it!

I am no expert but this Matcha Green is Tea is Best Quality Matcha Green Tea Available on Amazon specially on this size package, before this one we use to drink Do Matcha but it was getting very expensive, in my house this tea completely replace coffee, we drink it every single day, the four member of the family and this package last about 3 months, we all love the taste since it is not even a little bit bitter like other cheap Matcha well worth the price of this bulk size... Anyone interested in trying out a very good quality Matcha has to try this one, we make it with honey and lemon and it is just amazing... Any questions feel free to ask...

This is the best tasting matcha I have ever tried. Also, the most expensive! But I am more than willing to pay for quality so I had no problem shelling out the cost because I knew I’d get my money’s worth! What I love the most about this huge size: the resealable bag!!!! So much easier to keep the matcha fresh and under control than its smaller counterparts. If homemade matcha latte is your thing, THIS could be your matcha 🍵 for LIFE!! Delicious 😋
