Jade Leaf Matcha Organic Culinary Grade Matcha Powder - Japanese Green tea for Baking, Smoothies, Lattes, and Skin Care, 250g / 8.8 Ounce (Pack of 1)

I use this product for iced lattes. The quality is very good. It has a very smooth and creamy texture and is sweet. I don't use sugar, but a small dash of maple syrup. I make them strong but the caffeine content is not overwhelming. I've also occasionally used it for hot matcha and the taste, foam, and aroma is really very good for considering it is culinary matcha. I highly recommend this tea.

Honestly love this matcha powder. Feels like I've had it forever and it's still good. I got a tiny bag to try it (both to drink and to bake with, and it makes really good matcha banana bread and matcha lattes), then got a big bag later. With the big bag, it came as a big resealable bag, and inside of that bag was a foil-sealed bag, so it's double the protection. I keep mine closed and clipped shut inside of the foil bag in a dark, cool cabinet, and I've had zero issues. No mold, bugs, rot, or musty tasting powder at all. It also isn't clumping or anything, it does great. A little does go a long way, be careful with measurements, and mix thoroughly, because it will clump up otherwise. I got the little bamboo whisk and it does help to blend it, but a regular whisk would do the trick, too. I've also added it to protein shakes and it blends well in the shaker bottle, too. Speaking from experience: accidentally ingesting a clump of matcha powder is pretty foul, so I recommend making sure you mix thoroughly. :) Tl;dr: great to drink, mix in protein shakes, or bake with. Mix thoroughly to avoid clumps. Keep tightly sealed and store in a cool, dark, dry place and you shouldn't have problems for longevity.

I use this brand to make Matcha lattes and think the quality is very good. This is my second bag and the quality was consistent. The flavor profile is good and the energy feels smooth. I did a lot of research and find this one to be the best value. Recommended.

I've been buying the culinary grade matcha for some time now. It gives you the energy you're looking without the crashes. It makes me feel a bit healthier and more alert. I mostly make lattes with this and when I can get it to blend very well, its great. However, it is always clumpy and when I get the clumpy chunks, it is very bitter. It's like tasting dirt. The color is somewhat dull but more vibrant than others I've tried. It seems fresh inside. I always compare matcha to that of which Starbucks uses since that's where I came to discover matcha. This is not as sweet, and not as light in color. Comes in a sealed bag with great information about origin and how to store it. Overall, the culinary matcha is a great value. It offers great quality at a great price. It's a step below perfect because of how it blends and how it tastes. I never tried the ceremonial grade from Jade before, but for the value I get from the culinary grade, I will continue to purchase as needed. Sure beats coffee in the morning and afternoon crashes!

Best matcha I’ve ever tried. Point blank period. The taste is top notch. The price matches the quality that you’re getting. The brand owner or who ever is in charge of customer service is the best I’ve ever encountered. I have yet to try matcha at the quality that Jade Leaf provides. This is the only matcha I recommend to friends and family.

Easy to take on the go.

This is the best matcha for the price, regardless of which grade and size you are getting. And trust me, I've tried many brands, and grades! So, I'll organize my review into two categories accordingly: Traditionally Served Ceremonial Matcha: Teahouse Edition, 3.5 oz Comes with a white and green tin that seals really well for storage; I keep in the fridge. I follow the recipe on the side when I am fasting (1/2 to 1 teaspoon, froth with warm/cool water, add hot water). Super sweet matcha flavor, no bitterness, but it's not cheap! If you are going to drink it straight, though, without sweetener or milk, this is the one to get--it lasts a long time as you don't need so much matcha powder per serving. Strong honey latte: Culinary grade, 1lb size Because we like our lattes strong and go through it fast--for 2-3 people (always 2, sometimes 3 depending on who's around) it lasts us about a month--I have a 4-week autoship subscription on this. I've tried other brands' culinary grade and nothing except for Mighty Leaf is comparable to Jade Leaf in taste, but I prefer JL because of the 1lb size. I just go through ML too quickly. JL sometimes has a grainier consistency that settles out more, while other batches stay mixed better; it's a tradeoff. I've noticed the photos on this size show mainly a brown bag with black and green sticker on the front; what arrives actually looks like the photo of the back with recipes (black banner, green lower). My recipe is one heaping--and I mean heaping!!--spoonful (a regular kitchen spoon that some call teaspoon-sized, not a tablespoon-sized kitchen spoon), one scoop of collagen peptides, roughly 1-2oz hot water, same small kitchen spoon full of honey, roughly 2 cups milk. First, mix dry ingredients well. Pour in hot water, swirl, then stir thoroughly with spoon. Add honey, stir again, add milk. Can be served hot or cold, can use one of those frother stick blenders if you really want it mixed well but I don't bother. Some settling does occur while it sits, so I keep swirling it (or use a mason jar with lid and keep shaking it throughout breakfast). YMMV depending on how big your regular spoons are, sorry I don't use a measuring spoon for this, but it's fun to experiment and find out how you like it!

I totally enjoy this brand of Matcha.....It is a vivid green which ensures me it is from a good source. I use this in my smoothies on a daily basis and I feel it gives me an abundant amount of energy and keeps me free from colds. Will never stop incorporating this into my morning routine.

Works as expected. Tastes as expected. Have bought many times.

Love this matcha, big bag, it lasts a long time! I use a smaller container to put some in, so I don't have to open the bag every day

Good to drink when in recommended temperature.

good comprise between flavour and cost. This is the mid-range quality and price which meets my needs.
