Jade Leaf Matcha Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder - 100% Pure Japanese First Harvest Green Tea for Ceremonies, Usucha, Lattes 30g / 1.06 Ounce Tin (Pack of 1)

I've tried several types of similarly priced matcha with disappointing results. I was so happy when my first use of this one produced a smooth, clump-free, bright green product with an even, high foam (hand stirred with a whisk). The taste was clear and bright, but without grassy notes. If I was recommending a product for someone who was skeptical of matcha it would be this one.

So I’ve been very big into making my matchas at home and I’ve tried many different matchas, especially ones I can find locally. The Jade Leaf brand seems to be the only one in the stores near me. But they only have the matcha latte (which I would not recommend) and the culinary grade which is pretty good! But I wanted to branch out and try something a little different and I did research and decided to go with the tea house edition! I thought the culinary grade was so yummy and green, especially compared to the other ones I’ve tried but when I got the teahouse edition, I will never go back to the culinary grade! Don’t get me wrong it was very yummy and nice that I could just run to the store and get more but since trying a better quality matcha, I can’t bring myself to go back! I definitely think if you haven’t tried any amazing matcha powders, the culinary grade really isn’t bad! But I wouldn’t recommend if you’ve tried bright green yummy tasting matchas! I still had a pack of the culinary grade which is pictured, I never realized how dark it was until I purchased the teahouse edition! I really did think it was pretty green but I think that explains how crappy the matchas I’ve tried used to be! I’m sure there’s better matchas out there but out of all the ones I’ve tried, the teahouse edition is by far the best one and I will continue to get it for as long as I can! (The one in the tin is the teahouse and the one in the packet is the culinary grade)

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.

This is my first time trying Jade Leaf and I’m impressed with the quality given it is budget matcha. It froths beautifully and doesn’t dissipate quickly like other brands. It’s not very bitter which is nice, but I took off a star because the flavor is very mild.

Very nice taste, give me the same energy as coffee with all day energy. Only thing too small.

Great taste, nice green color. Love that it’s organic and that it’s from Japan. The price is less than you might pay for other brands, but it’s a very good quality. As a green tea drinker of almost 50 years, I highly recommend this tea.

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.

My preferred matcha. Love that it is sealed for freshness, even if some of it does generally get lost in the transfer from the bag to the tin. Definitely a high quality matcha and is great for latte's. Not as sweet as the sweetened blend they offer!

This ceremonial grade matcha is an outstanding choice for lattes, baking, or tea ceremonies. After trying many matchas, I can say this one ranks among the top five. The flavor is rich, umami, and smooth. I gave it four stars because the product arrived open and damaged, which I believe was due to shipping. This experience left me feeling dissatisfied.

The quality is 5 star but the price is not. It's really a nice Matcha but compared to other high guuality matchas, the cost point is not sustainable for the small amount provided.

It was great, come in quick :)
