Naoki Matcha Organic All Purpose Blend - Authentic Japanese Culinary Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder from Japan (100g / 3.5oz)

I've been using the Naoki Matcha Organic All Purpose Blend for several weeks, and it has exceeded my expectations for a culinary-grade matcha. If you're looking for a versatile matcha that works well in lattes, smoothies, baking recipes, and daily drinks, this is an excellent option. The powder is finely ground and mixes much more easily than some other culinary matcha brands I've tried. It has a vibrant green color that indicates freshness and quality. The flavor is pleasantly balanced—earthy and rich with a mild natural sweetness, without the excessive bitterness that some lower-quality matcha products can have. My favorite use is making iced and hot matcha lattes. It blends smoothly with milk and milk alternatives, creating a creamy and flavorful drink. I've also used it in smoothies, pancakes, and baked goods, where it adds a beautiful green color and authentic matcha taste. I appreciate that it is organic and sourced from Japan, which gives me confidence in the quality and authenticity of the product. The packaging helps keep the powder fresh, and a little goes a long way, making it a good value for the price. Pros: Authentic Japanese organic matcha Smooth texture and easy to mix Great for lattes, smoothies, and baking Vibrant color and fresh flavor Good value for everyday use Cons: Slightly more bitter than ceremonial-grade matcha when prepared with water alone Best suited for mixed drinks and recipes rather than traditional tea ceremonies Overall, the Naoki Matcha Organic All Purpose Blend delivers excellent quality, versatility, and flavor at a reasonable price. Whether you're new to matcha or a regular matcha drinker looking for an affordable everyday option, this product is a great choice and one I would happily purchase again.

Smooth and easy to mix, a reliable everyday matcha ✔️ Smooth texture with no noticeable bitterness ✔️ Mixes well using a traditional bamboo whisk ✔️ Works great iced or hot ✔️ Consistent quality, we buy it on subscription ✔️ Good value for an everyday matcha My wife drinks matcha regularly and buys this on subscription, so we’ve been through multiple containers of it. She grew up drinking it and prefers this brand, which says a lot about the consistency and quality. She prepares it the traditional way using a bamboo whisk, and it mixes smoothly without clumping. She usually drinks it iced, and it holds up well without tasting overly bitter.

enjoy this awesome matcha- and a great price with authentic flavor!

I normally buy the cheapest and largest matcha I can find. This is definitely smaller and more pricy compared to my typical matcha. HOWEVER, it is really smooth and I love the taste. I bought the smaller size at first and ended up buying the larger one.

Taste ok. Natural color ,good price

10/10 would recommend! It has a fresh taste, a vibrant green hue, and a wonderful matcha scent. I had been a bit concerned as I have heard people say they’ve gotten ‘bad batches’ but, it seems like it had been dependent on when the matcha had been harvested and how, which resulted in poorer quality matcha (bad batches doesn’t happen all that often). Thankfully my order didn’t have this issue. After nearly two months of drinking it, I have definitely noticed a remarkable calming effect. Although keep in mind, different people do react differently to matcha’s properties just as people do with coffee (some feel zero effect and some get more instant results). As long as you follow the directions on the package on how to prepare it and what temperature to use, you should be all good to go! It makes pretty good everyday drinks!

My son and I both love having iced matcha with lavender and honey. We add sweet cream. It has lasted and tastes great. We got the culinary.

I normally get Ceremonial matcha from this brand as it is very fresh, the taste is strong and the color is a bright green. Since I had a consistent good experience with Naoki ceremonial matcha, i wanted to try the culinary grade as it didn’t seem to bc much of a difference. I was very wrong. right from opening the bag the color was very off. after preparing the matcha and making my drink, i found that you could barely taste the matcha at all. like my normal 2 teaspoons of matcha powder didn’t give any flavor to the drink. overall, i am not a fan of the culinary grade matcha at all. if you are buying from Naoki only purchase the Ceremonial grade.
