Chaism Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder Organic

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.

I was trying to look for a good quality matcha powder that wasn’t super expensive and this one has to be my favorite so far! it’s so delicious, the matcha is very good considering the price, and as someone who likes my matcha a bit sweeter i was nervous to try this one but i made it how i like and it was perfect ! totally recommend !

High quality ceremonial grade matcha! Beautiful bright green color, fine texture, and froths up easily without clumping. Tastes vibrant and smooth with zero bitterness, perfect for homemade iced matcha lattes

Taste. Generally smoother than inexpensive culinary matcha, with moderate sweetness and some umami. It may still have a slight bitterness if prepared with water that’s too hot. Color. Usually a vibrant green, which is a good sign of freshness. Texture. Fine enough to whisk into a reasonably smooth froth. Value. Good if you want an affordable ceremonial matcha for daily drinking

Reviewing isn’t my thing, but this one is exceptional, hehe. I like this matcha so much, and I think for its price, it’s very worth it. I tried to taste it with no milk, just water. Surprisingly, it is that good (no joke). Perfect for my everyday matcha. See photos, I re-use my cheese dipping sauce bottle.

I’ve been loving this organic ceremonial-grade matcha! It blends so nicely and has a smooth, earthy flavor without being too bitter. Perfect for making a creamy iced matcha latte at home. 💚🥛 Definitely a new favorite in my morning routine!

I am been experiencing with matcha powder for a while now. I make a matcha tea latte nearly everyday using an electric frother. This match powder has done the best for both hot and iced tea. It's flavor is right in the middle. It is not sweetened and it is not overly earthy. I highly recommend. Side note- the cute can makes measuring way more convenient.

Not terrible but definitely has a fishiness to it.

Está rico, si me gustó

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

Bad taste

Me encantó 💕 esta muy delicioso 😋 el sabor es fuerte

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.
