Jade Leaf Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder, 30g / 1.06oz Tin | Barista Edition - Best for Matcha Lattes, Warm or Iced! - Authentic Japanese Matcha Green Tea Powder - Certified Organic

Mixes easily, very smooth, just the right amount of matcha flavor. Tastes fresh. I use this every morning. Very pleased with this purchase.

I purchased this as a gift for my granddaughter. She said she liked the taste & would purchase again. It’s a tad bit pricey for the size. However, I believe it’s a good product!

I bought these two matcha powders at the same time expecting similar quality, but they are very different and will fit different needs depending on how you like your matcha. The smaller tin has a much brighter green color, a finer texture, and tastes noticeably smoother. It whisks up creamy with no effort and has that nice natural sweetness you expect from higher-grade matcha. This is the one you want if you drink matcha straight, make lattes, or prefer a softer flavor without bitterness. The large tin, on the other hand, is more of an olive green and has a slightly coarser texture. The flavor is earthier and a little more bitter, which makes it better for baking or smoothies where you want matcha flavor but don’t need ceremonial-level quality. It’s a good value for the amount you get, just not as delicate or vibrant as the smaller tin. Overall, both are useful—just for different purposes. If you want a smoother daily latte or traditional matcha, pick the brighter one. If you want a budget-friendly big container for cooking or mixing, the larger tin works great.

I bought this product on February 26th, so I'm sure the quality has slightly gone down and some slight oxidation has occured. The left is the Jade leaf and the right is a different ceremonial/first harvest matcha powder. I should preface I'm a beginner and new to matcha, so take that into consideration with my review. I have tried this sifting and without sifting and it's a pretty smooth matcha compared to others of lower quality or other cheaper ceremonial options. There is somewhat bitter/chalky/astringent taste, but not too much. I usually add sweetener though and that really helps. When I don't sift and just make the paste I don't experience much grainy texture, so if you're short on time it's a great option. When making the paste I'm able to get rid of most of the clumps. I'm still getting used to ratios, water temp, and refining my technique, which all those things could come into play. The flavor and smell are more on the subtle side. Overall I would suggest this matcha and think it's a good option for the price and could be a good everyday matcha on a budget.

Very tasty, I added to my mantra protein drinks and to give an added flavor

I have used this matcha for a while but just switched to a bigger canister. I love the convenience of the canister. It keeps my matcha dry and safe, no accidental spills like in the pouch. This is a great quality matcha is use to make matcha lattes.

I had super high hopes for this matcha powder because I've familiar with the brand but I was NOT impressed. The color was all wrong, the mixability wasn't enjoyable, I also feel like it oxidized before I even received it and WAY before I opened it. Unfortunately, it was a waste of money and I highly recommend exploring another brand. Also the taste was NOT good.

Love the product but the can it comes in is is small …

No me gustó, que justo yo elegí este producto por que supuestamente venía en bote , y me llegó en 2 bolsas. La presentación también importa, y es por lo que yo pagué por que lo consideré importante.

This is a very nice matcha. My picture is not doing justice but the green colour is slightly darker. It tastes good when I add vanilla syrup or brown sugar. It’s somewhat foamy when i add hot water and mix it with electric whisker. Will buy it again for sure, it tastes good when u add supplement flavours to it!

I got this Barista edition after trying out the Teahouse edition. This Barista edition is much more bitter and much less savory. Teahouse edition is excellent with a very smooth tasting, creamy and savory. So if you like a bolder, bitter matcha for latte, this one is great. Teahouse edition will make a smoother and creamier latte. On the side note, Jade Leaf have one of the best customers service. I said I do not like the taste of this edition compare to the teahouse edition and they straightforward offer me the Teahouse edition as a replacement at no extra cost.

Excellent matcha smooth, delicate, and pleasantly flavorful. Not sweet, perfectly balanced. Ideal for tea ceremonies and matcha lattes.

I had purchased BOTH the ceremonial grade and culinary. After purchasing the ceremonial grade and how great it's, decided to try the culinary one. Definitely we found a difference between both, however no bitter taste in any of them. We tried the ceremonial one bare and the taste is good and no need for sweetener, we also tried the ceremonial with Milk (latte) and the results were outstanding, everyone in the family liked it (even better than any commercial Matcha outside including Starbucks and others). My kids are very picky with drinks and flavours, but when they tried the ceremonial with Milk, they were very impressed. I decided to try the culinary one (to save money, lol), although there was no bitter taste and still better than or close to commercial vendors, the ceremonial taste is no look any further (have to scarifice the cost, to get unbelievable taste). the caffeine in it also was better than coffee for me as i felt more focused and active compared to coffee cup. Seems the Ceremonial matcha will be my go to cup (home made ONLY, not commercial) in the future and have to compromise the cost for the quality and benefits.
