Organic Ceremonial Matcha Powder 40g | Uji Kyoto Japan | Golden Grade | Stone Ground Matcha | Spring Harvest | Japanese Green Tea Powder

I’ve tried quite a few matcha brands over the last couple of years, from supermarket tins to the more expensive ceremonial ones, and this one from OSSU has genuinely surprised me.😋 The first thing I noticed was the colour, it’s a proper bright green, not that dull yellow/green you get with cheaper matcha. It also smells really fresh when you open the tin.🤩 Taste wise, it’s really smooth. I usually make matcha lattes with oat milk, and this blends without any lumps when I whisk it properly. What I like most is that there’s no bitterness. Some matcha tastes sharp or grassy, but this one has that slightly sweet, creamy flavour you get from higher grade Japanese matcha. Energy wise, it’s exactly what I want: steady focus without the jittery coffee feeling. I’ve swapped one of my daily coffees for this and honestly prefer how I feel on it. It’s not the cheapest matcha, but I can see why. The quality is noticeably better than the other tins I’ve bought on Amazon, and I only use about half a teaspoon each time so it lasts. Overall I’m genuinely impressed. If you’re looking for matcha that actually tastes good and isn’t bitter, this is worth it.

As a firefighter, maintaining peak mental alertness and physical endurance is crucial. Since discovering OSSU matcha, I’ve experienced a noticeable improvement in my overall well-being. This high-quality matcha powder has become an essential part of my daily routine, helping me stay calm, focused, and energised without the dreaded caffeine crashes associated with coffee. One of the most significant benefits I’ve noticed is improved sleep quality. Unlike coffee, which often leaves me jittery and anxious, OSSU matcha provides a steady energy boost without the crashes. I also appreciate that my teeth are no longer stained—a common issue with coffee consumption. Additionally, the smooth and creamy texture of OSSU matcha is a delight. It mixes effortlessly and lacks the grassy taste typical of cheaper brands, making every sip enjoyable. I usually prepare it as a hot drink with water or mix it in a shaker for a convenient on-the-go option. This versatility is perfect for my night shifts, providing sustained mental alertness when I need it most. Having tried various matcha brands, I can confidently say that OSSU matcha stands out for its superior quality and vibrant colour. I’ve recommended it to all my colleagues and friends. The packaging is another aspect I love. The airtight tin is far more practical than the awkward bags other brands use. Being organic and sourced directly from Japan ensures I’m getting the best product available, which is incredibly important to me. In conclusion, OSSU matcha is a game-changer. It not only enhances my performance on the job but also improves my overall health. If you’re looking for a top-notch matcha experience, I highly recommend OSSU matcha.

This perhaps has to be one of the best matchas I’ve tried on this app and I’m pleasantly surprised. I’m a matcha fiend and love looking for alternatives and this one was recommended. It most definitely is worth the money as it has lasted me approx 3 months maybes it’s because I don’t use heaps of it. I just use what’s recommended which is a tsp. However, I’ve made it with 2-3 scoops before but that’s for the extra kick. To be fair in testing this out. I’ve used it without milk but straight up as is and tasted wonderful. I’ve also have made matcha earl grey, matcha oat latte and matcha homemade blueberry syrup with it! It’s just as delicious without any of the syrups and don’t need the extra sugar as it naturally has that sweetness to it when mixed nicely. It has a lovely shade of green and defo seen the significant difference when I stored it in the fridge as it’s still just as fresh but ofc use it as it should be consumed aha! The quality is great compared to the other matchas I’ve tried like the Yamasan Kyoto Uji matcha powder. In terms of smell it smells good and not really earthy which is surprising! Some matchas I’ve smelled is very vegetal. I also make videos on TikTok on tastingwithteter and the matcha I use for majority of my matcha drink videos have been this brand. So far I’m pleased with it surprisingly as I was expecting to be disappointed like my other purchases. I’m excited to try the silver grade as I was curious what that would be like as I liked this one so much. Hope this helps anyone decide whether to try or not!

Good quality and taste but quite expensive for the small jar.

I absolutely LOVE Ossu, it's my go to daily with oat milk, and I take it with me on all of my travels (even on Honeymoon!) This has been my go to for over a year now, the vibrancy is fantastic and it whisks to lovely microfoam. A real smooth, creamy umami with some sweetness and minimal bitterness, and is also lovely just as Usucha 💚

I'll start on a positive note which is that the packaging for this matcha is very nice! I like the branding and the can opening seal when you unscrew the lid. The powder itself feels smooth and very finely milled. However it does have a yellow tinge and is more on the light side. I whisked 3 spoons of powder and the colour was way too pale for my liking. The flavour was weak, so in terms of taste I'm pretty disappointed. Wouldn't repurchase this myself but if you like a very mellow, sweet matcha this is for you.
