Jade Leaf Matcha Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder - 100% Pure Japanese First Harvest Green Tea for Ceremonies, Usucha, Lattes 100g / 3.53 Ounce Pouch (Pack of 1)

I've tried several brands of matcha over the years, but this is my all time favorite! It doesn't have to be Teahouse edition, any ceremonial blend from Jade Leaf is wonderful. But I have bought Teahouse the last two times I've ordered, because it comes in this huge pound pack. It's expensive, but not really. You get a ton of matcha for the price, and it's cheaper in the long run. Especially if you were buying matcha lattes elsewhere! I used to bring a small tin of matcha to work with me, along with a little squeeze bottle of sweetener. And I'd just grab a bottle of room temp water, drink a little to make space, then scoop some matcha in with a few drops of sweetener and mix vigorously. It worked pretty well and only left a few tiny globs of unmixed matcha. But the effect it had on me was so good that I came to love this simple mixture. Matcha contains L-Theanine, which mellows you out and honestly is just the best thing ever! It also contains caffeine, so it gives you energy. The 2 things working together is like a natural speedball! But it's not intense. You just feel calm, awake, and focused. And I've never felt a crash like I have from other caffeine sources. This is more sustainable energy. I tried the lavender oatmilk matcha latte from Starbucks a few months ago, and thought it was so good! I can tell the matcha they use is not as good as Jade Leaf, but the flavors compliment each other so well! At nearly $7 for a large, I started looking into making my own. I found some Torani lavender syrup at TJMaxx and everything changed.... At first I made a lavender cold foam for the latte, but quickly realized I didn't actually need it. There are very easy recipes online if you're interested. Because the Jade Leaf matcha is SO good, the simpler the better. I just take some warm water and add in lots of matcha- to make a concentrated amount. I put it in a cup with a lid and shake it really well- the warm water helps it to dissolve. Although if you have a wand or small blender, that would work well too. In a cocktail shaker I add ice, some of the matcha concentrate, oatmilk, and a dash or two of lavender syrup.....and shake really well. Then pour and drink as is, no foam needed. Aerating the 3 ingredients is the key. It also gets it really cold without having to deal with ice melting into your drink. If you don't have a cocktail shaker, use any cup with a lid. This homemade version with this superior matcha is so much better than what I can buy at a coffee shop. Speaking of, I have given up coffee for lavender matchas. I love coffee and espresso, and can make both at home, but really have no interest anymore. The matcha tastes better and makes me FEEL better!! I even bought a bottle of L-Theanine supplements in pill form- they're just derived from matcha! They make me feel wonderful too, but not as good as making and drinking my own. It's almost a spiritual experience, and I can clearly see why there are ceremonies dedicated to consuming it. I hope everyone else gets this much out of it, good luck!

Being new to matcha tea, I only know to look for a ceremonial blend. I tried the Jade Leaf matcha not fully understanding what to expect. Upon opening the package I saw it comes with thirty pre-measured packets making it simpler and quicker. After dumping the packets powder into the bowl I saw how fine the matcha powder was. Once in the sieve, there was very little need to sift. Adding water and whisking was equally impressive. The powder blended well and worked into a foam with minimal effort. It is a lovely dark green color and smells like the air after a rain. Clean, warm and slightly earthy. The taste is smooth, very little bitterness and there was no residue left in the bottom of the cup when I finished. I've done more reading since that first cup and read that it may give a burst of energy without the letdown of caffeinated drinks. Personally, I have not had that experience. While the price seemed high, I understand now that the quality makes it reasonable.

I travel a lot for work, but as a non-coffee drinker, I need to bring along my own packets of tea. The brand I drink at home doesn't sell "to go" packs and the brand I used for years suddenly doubled their price for the same 10 packs, so when looking for a new brand, I noticed all the positive reviews for Jade Leaf and started with the small 10 pack. Not only was it cheaper than my original to go brand before the price hike, but it tasted just as good if not better. A really good quality Match! It has a beautiful jade green color, not at all bitter in my opinion. So glad I found a really great option so I can continue to enjoy my morning Matcha on the road! The 30 pack is a good value!

I’m a big fan of jade leaf brand matcha. It tastes good, the quality is good, and it’s a relatively good value for the price. It smells nice and earthy, and the color is rich, and not brownish like some other affordable matchas. I recommend a good bamboo whisk, or an electric whisker. I personally use my whisking/foaming machine and it mixes really well. If you don’t mix the hell out of it, you will drink some chunks. That aside, it’s been my go-to after years of buying super expensive matcha. It’s honestly comparable. I can tell it’s good quality, because lower quality matcha tastes like rice powder, and can be more intense and jittery, probably due to less theanine content. I recommend it. *** my only qualm is the packaging. It can be pretty messy when you open it, because of the zip lock top on the bag. I know it’s hard to find a packaging less expensive than metal tins, but please do some r&d to fix how messy it can be to open and get out of the package.

We LOVE this matcha! The color is very vibrant and green, making the color of the final drink perfection.

Good quality and taste

Highly recommend! The color and taste are incredible! It’s well worth the price! And I only use 1/4 teaspoon for a regular cup of tea. A little goes a long way!

I’ve been making my own matcha at home for about a year now and have tried a range, from matcha I’ve picked up in Kyoto to options from U.S. stores. This one is better than the Trader Joe’s version, which is why I gave it a shot: good reviews, high ratings, and the fact that it’s organic all seemed promising. That said, it still feels like a lower-quality ceremonial matcha. The flavor was unexpectedly off—hard to describe, but not smooth or balanced like I would expect despite having a really nice green color. I was honestly a bit disappointed. For reference, Costco carries a matcha in a tin that often sells out, and that’s been my go-to for a reasonably priced, higher-quality option for morning lattes. Overall, this one was just mid.

These travel packets of matcha are perfection; convenient, easy, smooth, and tasty. I was actually quite impressed by the quality as I bought these for convenience of travel and wasn’t sure how they’d be. They mix up so well! The colour is nice, it does not clump, and the taste is smooth and lovely (not bitter at all). I included a video (and no that’s not how I’d normally make it lol). I would usually sift but since these are on-the-go packets I don’t always have that option or the time. I will say even when I’m out and don’t have time to sift, the match comes out perfect; zero clumps and so smooth. Impressed that you can just throw the packet in and mix with cool or warm water and have lovely matcha on the go. Even if you are using these at home it’s nice to have the matcha proportioned and individually packaged for freshness. The price is reasonable for organic ceremonial grade (also considering the individual packaging). Overall, love this matcha and highly recommend; it’s smooth, delicious, convenient, easy to mix, and lovely quality.

Probably one of the best matcha’s I’ve come across so far. I am new to matcha but I’ve tried about 3 different brands and this is always the one I crave and want the most. A bit pricey but I just assume it’s for the quality of the product. Delicious!

Great tasting ceremonial matcha at a reasonable price. Matcha ceremonial tea is very expensive because of the first grade quality of the green tea leaves and it’s very potent. I usually use half a teaspoon and it’s strong enough with a bitter potent taste. I just add a little bit of honey to sweeten it up a bit but you can have it without either if you don’t mind the bitter taste. I usually have matcha lattes for the most part. The price is a little high but if you use half a teaspoon for each latte it should last awhile. Overall, I am pleased with the taste of this matcha tea for the price I paid. I’m sure there are other options of match ceremonial greens tea that are better but the price may be very expensive. I am satisfied with this option. The only thing I didn’t like it can be confusing to open the package for the first time. I will now know how to open it next time! lol

Love this brand of matcha. It’s my new go to

The matcha is delicious once opened, but the taste changes after being refrigerated. I would say once i reach halfway is when the taste changes as well as the caffeine performance.. not as strong which leaves me still feeling sleepy or low energy. Not sure if it could be the packaging. Maybe I’ll try purchasing the can next time. Hoping it stays fresh longer.
