would buy again, ifff i’m on a budget
Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 2.1 Ounce (Pack of 1)
this matcha is okay which is expected for its price. it’s not the usual authentic japanese matcha. it’s made in china. it is a bit better than i expected! other matcha powders are pretty expensive and it shows in the taste. this matcha did surprisingly have a nice green color. it was darker than i expected and didn’t have a yellow hue which i don’t like. it seems fresh. i don’t know if it gave me energy. i am currently drinking some in the evening and i don’t feel much of a difference as i type this. i used about two heaping spoonfuls and a half (not really a spoonful. yk that little wooden scoop.. it’s called a chashaku) and the taste wasn’t that strong but maybe i used too much water when i mixed it. if the taste were stronger i would give this 4 or 5 stars. i like a noticeable matcha taste. i would say it’s not very strong at all but i’ll take it for this price if i’m on a budget. i paired it with torani almond syrup and i feel like i can taste the syrup more and i didn’t even add that much. like i said, i’ll take it for this price or cheaper but i wouldn’t pay more than $15 for it. i would buy again if i’m looking for something less expensive. but if not, i’d say it’s better to splurge a bit if you’re picky about the taste strength !

Great Quality
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Barista, Size: 1.06 oz
I’ve tried a few matcha brands and this one really stood out. The color is a beautiful, vibrant green, which already says a lot about the quality. The taste is smooth and fresh, not bitter, and it blends really well whether I’m making drinks hot or iced. You can tell it’s a high-quality, ceremonial grade matcha. I also really love that it’s from a small business, it makes the whole experience feel more intentional and special. Definitely something I’ll keep repurchasing! 🍵✨

High quality Matcha
Flavor Name: Ceremonial Barista, Size: 1.06 oz, Flavor Name: Ceremonial Barista, Size: 1.06 oz
Edit: I tried this matcha twice now, and it’s perfect! No lumps, excellent taste, froths well! Everything you could imagine. I used one teaspoon, and 20 oz of water heated to 160°F, sifted the teaspoon of matcha into a matcha bowl, used my bamboo whisk, and poured over milk with a bit of agave nectar. I’m very pleased with the results. This is fine matcha! /// This appears great and high quality, I haven’t tried it but will do a side by side to see how well it froths compared to the matcha I have on hand. I will come back with further information, so far it smells and looks wonderful.

The best Matcha please don’t skip this review.
I don’t often write reviews. In fact, I hate writing reviews. It’s probably the worst thing. But let me tell you this Matcha is probably the best Matcha that I’ve ever tasted and have purchased on Amazon. I tried other matches and don’t give me wrong. They are all somewhat all right, especially if someone that doesn’t know what the hell they’re doing, but this Matcha so good and I mean so good this Matcha is so good. I feel like I would pay for a sponsorship from them, I would even sponsor them. I know this doesn’t make sense, but it makes sense to me thank you crafti you are by far the best tasting the most glorious, and in fact the most rewarding Matcha experience I’ve ever had it’s to the point you make me want to buy tickets to Japan so I can get Matcha in person. Sincerely your probably not number one fan but number one enjoyer the T-Rex.
