Organic Matcha Green Tea

This is my favorite matcha by far! It has that rich, deep green color and fresh aroma that tells you right away it’s high quality. The flavor is smooth, earthy, and authentic — exactly the taste I’ve always loved in traditional matcha. The bag is generous in size for the price, and my most recent order even came with a little scoop on top, which was such a thoughtful touch! I like to mix mine with milk and honey for a creamy, delicious latte, and it dissolves beautifully in hot water without clumping. I usually make about 12 ounces at a time using the scoop provided and drink it two or three times a day. It gives me calm, focused energy without any jitters — the perfect coffee alternative, especially now that I’m pregnant. Pure, unsweetened, and organic — it’s everything matcha should be. Highly recommend this brand! 🍵💚

This product is great tasting and affordable.

I wanted to clear up some confusion regarding negative reviews claiming this matcha contains "heavy metals" because the powder stands on end or reacts to plastic spoons. First, the science: Toxic heavy metals aren't magnetic: The actual toxic contaminants people worry about in food safety—like lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury—are completely non-magnetic. They will never react to magnets or cause dry powder to form spikes. It's static electricity: Matcha is ground extremely fine. When I first opened the bag, I used a plastic spoon and tested the powder directly with a powerful neodymium earth magnet—nothing was raised, pulled, or forming spikes like in some of those customer photos and videos. However, after pouring the powder through a plastic funnel and using plastic and wooden chopsticks to portion it out, the friction generated a static charge. The ultra-light matcha particles simply aligned with the electrostatic field, creating those needle-like "spikes." It was only after generating that charge that the spike effect happened. If you use a metal spoon or touch the scoop with a grounded finger, the static charge disappears immediately. As for the product itself: For the price, this 2 lb bag is an absolute steal. The batch I received arrived bright green with no brownish or oxidized tint to it. Since it is culinary grade, it has a punchy, earthy flavor, but it works fantastically well for daily protein lattes, smoothies, and homemade matcha ice cream without breaking the bank. I split mine into vacuum-sealed portions for long-term storage to preserve freshness. Highly recommended if you understand what culinary matcha is meant for!

This product is better than the matcha powder mix used at Starbucks! Starbucks uses a 51% sugar mix with questionably sourced matcha/sencha making up the other 49%. It has no tea flavor as it's basically just sweetened milk. If you've come to matcha through the Starbucks lens, this is NOT that product. It's what you should be drinking instead! When I've tried to get matcha powder locally at the grocery store, I've not been able to find one that is the same quality as this in such a value size quantity. For size reference, I'm pretty sure this size bag could last one person 3mos even if they were drinking a matcha latte everyday. This matcha here packs a bolder flavor, a better boost of energy, and more mental clarity without the crash that you'd have from coffee. It is unsweetened, which gives you the freedom to make the final product (latte, smoothie, whatever) as sweet or unsweet as you like. The powder is ULTRA fine, and is about the consistency of powdered sugar. It dissolves wonderfully in a few ounces of the liquid of your choice (I prefer oatmilk), and it suspends very nicely and does not sink to the bottom when at rest for a few moments. All around highly recommend. Unless you're Japanese and have had that real good stuff and would know the difference, this is probably good enough for most people.

It is matcha. It makes things green. For all intents and purposes, this is enough for the typical matcha user. For those with a bit of an upturned nose to anything that's "inferior" to matcha, then this is not for you. By taste, this product is not as good on the tastebuds as, say, Jade Leaf. It doesn't do matcha justice and, in my opinion, does not mix that well when making lattes. In terms of color, this one is also paling in comparison when by itself, but when added to other things as a flavoring agent or colorant, then it does the job as well as it can. I am not saying this matcha is bad at all. I think if it comes down to drinking, save your money and get some Jade Leaf or equivalent ceremonial grade matcha. You WILL taste the difference. Now if you're going to be making a lot of baked goods or cooked goods? This wouldn't be that bad—you don't want an overbearing matcha taste anyway and the shade of green this produces is not THAT bad.

Lighly sweet. Tastes good hot or cold. Mixes better in hot water, so I make a small pitcher for iced-tea for the day to get lots of anti oxidants.

I was pleasantly suprised at the quality of the matcha when I first tried it. There is plenty to last me a while, even as I drink it daily. I'll definitely be buying this again when ready.

Extremely grassy tasting. Might be good for cooking/baking, and while Micro ingredients is a very trusted supplier, it’s just not the smoothest, most enjoyable, blend for my lattes.
