Jade Leaf Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder, First Harvest, 100g / 3.53oz Tin

I have been purchasing this specific Jade Leaf Matcha for over 4 years now, and I just opened my 12th bag. When you’ve used a product this consistently, you really get to know its quality, and this matcha has remained remarkably consistent. Quality & Color: Despite being "Organic" (which sometimes leads to a duller color in other brands), this powder is a vibrant, electric green. It’s a very fine grind; I still recommend using a sifter to avoid clumps, but it whisks into a beautiful froth with very little effort. Flavor Profile: It hits that perfect "Ceremonial" balance—it’s smooth and creamy with a distinct umami note and almost zero bitterness. I typically drink it as a traditional tea (just water), but it’s rich enough to hold its own in an oat milk latte without getting lost. Why I Keep Coming Back: I’ve tried the $40+ "luxury" tins, and honestly, the jump in quality doesn't justify the price for daily use. Jade Leaf gives me that high-end teahouse experience at a price point that makes sense for a morning ritual. Pros: Consistency: 12 bags in, and I've never had a "bad batch." Energy: Clean focus without the coffee jitters. Packaging: The resealable bag actually works and keeps the light out (though I still store mine in the fridge). Cons: If you are a complete beginner, you'll definitely want a bamboo whisk or electric frother; you can't just stir this with a spoon and expect it to dissolve perfectly. Final Verdict: If you’re looking for a "daily driver" matcha that actually tastes like premium ceremonial grade, look no further.

I love this brand. The taste is great, even my kids love it! The color is such a beautiful green too. It doesn't take long to make, the ingredients are pure! I definitely think the ingredients are worth the price compared to other prices, especially the amount! I prefer to drink it cold rather than hot. But that's my preference! I would say, I dont like that it comes in a bag that you have to dump I to the tin. So much sticks to the bag and I feel that's wasting some of it.

This matcha is mild, calming, fun to make and a pleasant experience to drink. I did research to find the highest quality organic brand, and I am loving Jade Leaf matcha.

The matcha is great for lattes and other drinks while being a decent value. its a silky matcha with a strong seaweed aroma, great umami flavor, and decent green color. Although requires sweeteners such as sugar or honey to be enjoyed. I would recommend other brands if you truly enjoy matcha but if you want something reliable and good this is a go to.

This brand was so much better than the other brand I tried. The color was good, taste was smooth, and there was no sediment in the bottom of my cup

Absolutely delicious! There is probably 7ish strong matcha lattes in the container, so definitely worth the price and came very clean, no spill and in a separate bag inside the container. I personally use a chasen and it mixes fantastically! It is definitely way less bitter than some I’ve tried. Will be purchasing again!

I purchased both the Jade Leaf and Kenko Matcha Green Tea Powder. Both are ceremonial grade Matcha about as pure as you can get. Both are sourced from small family farms in Japan and are tested repeatedly for radiation. Jade Leaf is slightly less expensive at $23.95 for 30G. Kenko is slightly more expensive at $27.99 for 30G. Kenko has a slightly sweeter flavor and the tea powder is a brighter green. Jade Leaf is not as sweet and a tad darker in color. I like them both equally and alternate between teas. I have become an avid Matcha tea drinker after being a long term espresso coffee drinker. The clean refreshing “buzz” keeps me alert for hours without the jitters. Also L-Theanine an amino acid found primarily in teas promotes relaxation, reduces stress, while at the same time boosts concentration and alertness. I can code for hours on this tea. Traditional ceremonial teas are packed in light tin containers that seal air tight. Keep them in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and cold. Jade Leaf arrived with a sealed bag of powder tea inside the tin. You simply cut the bag open then pour tea inside the tin. I think they took extra precaution for freshness by double packing. Kenko arrived with the tea loose inside the tin. It was not double packed. It didn’t affect the taste or freshness at all. Jade Leaf sent me follow up emails asking if everything arrived ok and if I was enjoying the tea. They also sent me coupons for future purchases. Nice touch. I like it when suppliers take the time to do this. Kenko sent me an email asking if all was good but they did not offer any future purchase coupons. All in all I like them both. If I had to buy just one next time I might go with Kenko because I prefer the slightly sweeter taste. I would recommend buying both as I did and do your own taste test comparison. These are two very good Matcha teas on the market and I wouldn’t bother with any other brands. Both of these teas are created in the highest strictest manner with emphasis on quality and taste. They also buy from small family farms which I like. I was not paid for this endorsement nor did I receive any incentives from suppliers for writing this review.

I absolutely love Jade Leaf matcha. I am new to matcha, but I have tried a few of Jade Leaf's options. Preparing the Teahouse Edition has become my favorite part of the day. The Teahouse matcha is a very nice green color, it foams well, and it has almost no bitterness. It smells and tastes fruity, almost like strawberry to me. I add 1-2g to a bowl, add 2oz cool water, and whisk with a chasen. I drink it in iced lattes, unsweetened, and it is so good. It is also very good on its own. I have tried Jade Leaf's culinary grade and Barista Edition, and they are both very good as well. The Barista Edition is a little less green and more yellow leaning. It is more bitter than the Teahouse, but still delicious. Photos/videos are of the Teahouse Edition

Pricey even if the quality is just okish and not over the top, it has a vibrant color, but still with a bitter taste towards the end, so luckily there are other options of better quality available for a much better price, which are sourced directly from Japan. But I guess we’re just adding to the 460 billion GDP of Seattle based businesses with our purchase. If with some extensive research on the entire supply chain, it would turn out that the story is actually true and that they support farmers directly, who have handpicked the leafs themselves rather than maximizing the distributors business profits, so true fair trade, then I would probably go for this product just because of the story rather than going with a mass product, but I feel so fooled through the marketing of these beautiful pictures of Japanese farmers and demand that they actually interview them on YouTube, while packaging it with this Jade brand. And, it’s not even kept in ceramic or glass so the price isn’t justified at all.

Feels kind of premium - not bitter to taste which is a sign it's quality matcha. Good for drinking, kind of a waste for a Matcha Latte - I would probably go with a cheaper one for Matcha latte's. I was curious and tried making matcha with this one but it doesn't really taste any different from the cheaper latte blends since milk and sugar does more of the work so I would use this one for just plain matcha tea.

Es la primera vez que compro Matcha para prepararlo en casa, y no me arrepiento, ya que eso es muy buena calidad y excelente sabor.

I am not a matcha expert but, of all the matchas I’ve tried at home this one has the nicest colour and BEST taste. It’s smooth and not bitter and actually tastes like matcha. I’d say it rivals my nearby coffee shops! It’s a bit pricey but it’s worth it when on sale - especially considering how little you really need per serving. I will be repurchasing!

I’m absolutely loving this Jade Leaf Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha! From the moment I opened it, the bright green color already told me it was high quality, and it did not disappoint. The taste is smooth, fresh, and not overly bitter, which makes it perfect for both traditional matcha and lattes. It mixes well without clumping and gives that nice, gentle energy boost without the jitters. I’ve been enjoying it as part of my daily routine, and it honestly feels like a little moment of calm in my day. The quality, flavor, and overall experience make this an easy 5-star product for me. If you’re looking for a good ceremonial matcha that’s enjoyable and easy to use, this is definitely one to try!
