Chaism Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder - Premium First Harvest, USDA Organic, Gluten-Free, Vegan, 100% Pure, No Sugar or Additives, 30 g Can

Doesn't Taste matcha like at all. The color is bright green made with preservatives

Bad taste

Sabor neutro, se que agregarle leche puede cambiar el sabor pero aun el matcha deberia prevalecer no mucho pero algo, al menos en el tiempo que llevo tomando mantcha he notado ese diferenciador entre las marcas y segun si sea culinario o ceremonial y que lleve azúcar y no y que sea orgánico. Si lo recomiendo. Por mi al probar matcha culinario lo he sentido ligeramente dulce o menos amargo que el ceremonial y este matcha se acerca a lo ceremonial.

This is THE best matcha hands down for so many reasons. I have tried other ceremonial grade matcha brands on Amazon, especially to save more money. But I'm telling you...this is by far the richest, creamiest, finest powder and absolutely worth EVERY penny / the extra 5 dollars. And you WILL feel energized after drinking this. In summary: Blendability: 10/10, Smoothness: 10/10, Taste: 10/10, Caffeine content: 10/10, Color/richness: 10/10. I do wish it lasted me longer, but that speaks to how much I genuinely love/use Chaism. Also, as someone with GERD, I can say this matcha isn't as bitter / upsetting to my stomach. I've never had problems and I genuinely feel better energy, concentration + digestion-wise when I drink this everyday. Other brands, I will end up overusing to feel the same effects.

Me encantó 💕 esta muy delicioso 😋 el sabor es fuerte

Let me start by saying I am quickly becoming an Amazon matcha connoisseur. I am learning how to study where the Matcha is sourced from if it's authentic, stoneground and until now I was only buying product of Japan Matcha. I bought this by mistake early on and just opened it tonight. It was vivid green just as it's supposed to be for first Harvest. It tastes amazing as in the unami was perfectly balanced. I am now reading up on Chinese Matcha as it was started there but apparently the soil in Japan provides a higher grade of Matcha because of how it's prepared. Below I have included some research on the difference between Japanese Matcha and Chinese. Shade-Growing: Tea plants are shaded for several weeks before harvest, increasing chlorophyll and L-theanine content, resulting in a vibrant green color and pronounced umami flavor. Steaming and Air-Drying: The leaves are steamed to prevent oxidation and air-dried to preserve their flavor and nutrients. Stone-Grinding: Traditionally, and for ceremonial-grade matcha, leaves are slowly ground using granite stone mills (ishi-usu). This preserves the delicate flavor compounds and creates an ultra-fine, smooth powder that mixes beautifully with water. The process is slow, taking roughly an hour to grind 30 grams. Chinese Matcha: While the practice of powdered tea originated in China, the traditional methods of matcha production evolved differently. Today, Chinese matcha production differs from its Japanese counterpart in several ways: Lack of Shade-Growing: Chinese matcha is not typically grown in the shade, resulting in a less vibrant green color and a less pronounced umami flavor, according to Matcha.com. Pan-Frying: Chinese green tea, including some varieties used for matcha, is often pan-fried instead of steamed, which can alter the flavor profile, making it more earthy or even bitter, according to Matcha.com. Grinding Methods: Chinese matcha may be ground using faster, modern machinery, which generates heat that can degrade the tea's quality. Some is also still hand-ground, according to 3 Leaf Tea. This can result in a coarser, more inconsistent powder texture. After reading all of this I found this Matcha to be of a very high quality and as good if not better than some high grade I have had from Japan. I would definitely buy this again. I love preparing my matcha and it is truly a peaceful part of my day. This is quite expensive for a small amount so you really have to search for others to find your favorite at a fair price.

This ceremonial matcha is fantastic! The color is a beautiful, vibrant green, and it smells fresh and earthy. When whisked, it creates a smooth, frothy cup with a rich flavor that isn’t too bitter. I’ve tried several matchas before, but this one stands out for its quality and taste. It’s perfect for traditional tea ceremonies or just a calming morning ritual. The powder is fine and blends easily, making it easy to enjoy every time. If you’re a matcha lover or looking to try a high-quality ceremonial grade, this one is definitely worth it. It makes every cup feel special!
