Marukyu Koyamaen Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha [Japan][Multiple Grades] (Aorashi, 40g)

This Japanese matcha is a 10/10! The color is a vibrant green, the powder is very fine, and it mixes smoothly without clumps. The flavor is fresh and clean with a natural sweetness and no bitterness. It tastes high quality and authentic, and it’s great in lattes. I always recommend this brand to my friends and would definitely buy this again.

Strengths: This is an excellent everyday ceremonial matcha — smooth, fresh, and versatile. It’s a great entry point into high-quality Uji matcha without breaking the bank. Ideal For: Matcha lovers who want a reliable, well-balanced powder for daily use; people who like both traditional whisked matcha and latte-style matcha drinks. Not For: Those looking for super-competitive, ultra-luxury matcha with extremely deep umami or the strongest flavor punch. Overall Rating: 4.5 / 5 — very high quality for its price, and a solid choice whether you’re new to matcha or just want a dependable, premium-grade powder.

The matcha is really smooth and perfect color. Does not have a chemical smell it more fragrant as a natural leaf but it is smooth and does thicken quite well. I would buy again from same provider although my container did come dented it did not have an affect on the product or break the tin.

The Marukyu Koyamaen Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha has a lovely sweetness and smooth flavor that’s enjoyable to drink. It’s clear this is a high-quality matcha with a well-balanced taste that works well for traditional preparation or lattes. However, I did notice a slightly chalky texture, which was a bit unexpected

I admit I am new to this world of fine matcha. I almost made my first experience with a food grade brand which would have been a mistake since food grade tends to have a bitterness to it. So I opted to buy the best I could afford without breaking the bank and feeling stupid about the purchase later. I know there's different ways to prepare but I prefer to use a fine mesh to strain the powder through. I invested in the wise and I'll glad I did because it works beautifully. This matcha is nice. There is no bitterness, it is smooth and even has a hint of sweetness. It is what I would expect tastewise. I don't add anything to it when I drink it as I prefer the natural flavor. There is no umami. I don't know if there's a technique to creating foam but I tried and tried and got very little. My next purchase will be a tea known for umami because I want to try it. I did a smear test and the tea is smooth. No grains! Nice bright color too. Update: acutely if you add about 2 teaspoons, you can get it to foam.

Absolutely delighted with Marukyu Koyamaen Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha! This matcha is a true gem for any tea enthusiast. The vibrant green color immediately catches the eye, promising a high-quality experience. Upon opening the tin, the fresh, grassy aroma is invigorating and sets the stage for a truly delightful tea session. The matcha powder is incredibly fine, ensuring a smooth and lump-free preparation every time. When whisked, it produces a beautiful, frothy cup with a rich, velvety texture. The flavor is impeccably balanced, offering a delicate sweetness with a hint of pleasant bitterness, characteristic of top-grade matcha. The umami undertones add depth and complexity, making each sip a joy. Marukyu Koyamaen has clearly put a lot of care and expertise into this product, and it shows. Whether you’re enjoying it traditionally or incorporating it into recipes, this matcha elevates the experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the finest quality matcha available!

Great matcha

I got this because of Meredith Mao @mereheartsyou on TikTok. I really enjoy her content and i wanted a matcha that tastes strongly. Although this matcha is not the degree of strong I like it, it is far better than the ceremonial matchas available in my area and it is fairly priced. It is not a very large amount but it is enough to try it out and see if you like it since i believe they have a larger version. It is very fresh and completely sealed when you open it. The texture is light and the colour is vibrant. It is very easy to sift and makes blending very easy if you do. It makes a very bright and beautiful matcha latte. Although the taste wasnt as strong as I wanted it to be I still think it is very good quality and will be purchasing more from the brand !!

Sin palabras, desepcionada.
