Kyoto Dew Matcha Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder 30g

I’ve been recently trying different Matcha powders to see which one is right for me cost and quality wise, so I decided to do a little taste test, and this is my opinion on the 8 that I tested. Note that all are Ceremonial Grade except for Jade Leaf (Culinary Grade) which I’ve been using for cooking and smoothies but included it for comparing color. Cost: Kyoto Dew: $.83/gram Ippodo: $1.37/gram (BEST) Matchabar: $.99/gram Pure Chimp: $.29/gram (WORST) Kenko: $.33/gram Encha: $.65/gram Akira: $.83/gram Jade Leaf (Culinary Grade): $.19/gram Top 4: 1) Ippodo: Hands down the best Matcha I’ve ever tasted, but very pricey to use daily. Sweet, earthy, Intense and complex with an unmatched bright rich green color. This is a special occasion or limited use Matcha for me because of the price. 2a) Akira: The taste is remarkably close to Ippodo but not as complex and has a slight bitterness at the beginning. Sweet, earthy, floral, fresh and complex with a bright rich green color. 2b) Kyoto Dew: A particularly good Matcha that gives a strong herbal and sweet flavor with a subtle bitterness. Sweet, herbal, smooth and slightly complex with an incredible dark (Chlorophyll Dense) rich green color which I love. 3) Encha: A particularly good Matcha but lacks the high complexity of Ippodo and Akira. Mild bittersweet, earthy, nutty, smooth and slightly complex with a bright rich green color. Bottom 3: I didn’t include (Jade Leaf) because it’s Culinary Grade. 7) Pure Chimp: The worst Ceremonial Grade Matcha I’ve tasted. If this is in fact a true Ceremonial Grade Matcha, then it’s not a premium grade. The color, texture, aroma and flavor are on par with Culinary/ Cooking Grade with maybe a slight edge to Pure Chimp in color (see pic) and taste. The price also reflects this. It was by far the cheapest Ceremonial Grade I tested ($.29/gram) and it showed. I see no reason for someone to purchase this product. 6) Matchbar: A decent Matcha, but for the price there are plenty of better options out there (Akira, Encha, Kyoto, Kenko) are all cheaper and better. 5) Kenko: A decent Matcha, but it was very lite with some bitterness that lingered too long. Slightly sweet, grassy, mild bitterness and soft flavor with rich green color. This would be a good start for someone that has never tried Matcha or for someone looking for a softer flavor.

I've tried other brands but always come back to this one. Love the taste, it's not grassy, and easy to mix.

- This is my go to Matcha for myself and my guests at my home. The flavor profile is typical to what you would expect of a higher end Matcha powder. - The quality is great, especially for the price. - No real complaints to be honest. - Color of the Matcha is a dark green, or compared to Ceremonial grade Matcha powder.

This is surprisingly not bad. It's great for everything use. It has a darker green color and rich matcha taste.

This is such a great tea. I love the taste.

I'm two or three years into this particular ceremonial, organic Matcha. All Matcha is NOT created equal; this one is well packaged, deep green, dissolves easily when whisked, and where I've stayed after finding Kyoto Dew. Thumbs up.

I bought this Matcha tea based on good reviews. This round container is only 2 inches high and only 2/3 of the container is filled with tea. 1/3 of the container from the top is empty. You get very little tea for this price. The taste is very bitter. If you like a bitter Matcha then this maybe the right tea for you. I prefer a milder flavor. I gave 3 stars for the bitterness and for the little amount of tea you get. I will not repurchase this particular tea again.

This tea is phenomenal. It has a profound calming effect whilst still providing a significant energy. I'm certain the amount of l-theanine ECGC and chlorophyll in this tea is high. There's enough caffeine to get my work done efficiently but no jitters like coffee. I had to switch from my espresso to matcha for health reasons and I can say with absolute certainty that it was one of the best health decisions I've made in my life. My blood pressure is much better and my heart rate is much more stable..The flavor and the aroma of this tea surpasses any other brand I've tried. I tend to be really sensitive to caffeine to the extent that I can't enjoy caffeinated beverages in the afternoon. I am able to enjoy this tea in the afternoon for an extra boost of energy and I can still get a good night's sleep. I just subscribed to receiving 200 g's of this matcha per month and there will be no more coffee for me, frankly I don't miss it and my body feels great. My only warning to you is that you may become very partial to this tea over other brands.

I really like this one it tastes good and it pears well with Almond milk

Perfect one it’s an original product

Somehow I feel amazing after drinking this

It had a really nice vibrant green color but mine oxidized in a short period of time after opening. Make sure to place it inside the fridge once opened.
