Naoki Matcha Organic All Purpose Blend Matcha, 40g/1.4oz | Authentic Japanese Culinary Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder from Japan

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.

I can't tell if this is the ceremonial tea organic or if it's the culinary from this picture because I bought both. But I will say about the ceremonial organic first harvest matcha by this brand is the absolute best. I totally stopped drinking coffee as this is much healthier - read up on how it compares. Coffee if it's not organic has pesticides and God knows what else in it -- plus this green matcha tea does not give you bad breath and it fights bacteria and extremely healthy. I really feel better now -- this contains l-theanine which gives you a calm energy and focus unlike the sometimes harsh caffeine rush with the crash coffee can give. Longer lasting energy with matcha green tea. I highly recommend this brand. I make it up in a quick shake with milk, sweetener, and reverse osmosis water, shake it up good or you can put it in a blender -- and I'm good to go off to the races. This is top quality but it is worth the money. And there is no sugar in this just organic ceremonial first harvest matcha green tea grown in Japan. Maybe another reason the Japanese or some of the healthiest people in the world.

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.

For the price, this matcha powder is great! It is perfect for iced lattes. I am not a matcha snob, I typically order from coffee shops like Starbucks and Biggby. I have tried a few other powders that were dull and super bitter, but this one is by far the best. It tastes the same as what you get from coffee shops. It’s not clumpy, super bitter, or chalky. The flavor is nice and light, and the value is unmatched. One bag costs the same as three ventis from Starbucks, and tastes nearly identical!
