So I thought I would give this a go. Now like coffee, matcha varies in its tones and sweetness when it comes from different places. Even though this is not the same as the one from Japan, it’s very very good matcha considering every factor. Also it’s very rich so if I make a tea, I only use half a tsp, and very thick so great for Koicha (“thick”). I cannot get over how the flavour comes through so lovingly in a latte! Usually when you go to a coffee shop to get a matcha latte, it tastes nice but there is a slight after taste because they are not using ceremonial grade matcha, they are using the very cheap slightly dull green matcha. Here when I make a matcha, the flavours come through, the colour is beautiful and it tastes cosy and is perfect before bed. The Japanese imported matcha didn’t handle well being in milk but I would purchase the cheapest he sold because the thicker matcha like this was too much for me to import. I’m so happy to have discovered this, I really hope they don’t change the quality or the price. I am aware things are rapidly changing with our British economy. But pleeeeeaaasseee always stay affordable and if the highest quality. Review: Try it! - Love this matcha. Amazing vibrant green color, sweet aroma and lovely balanced taste, very easy to mix and froth. I find it ever so slightly on the coarser side, comparing to for example Bi matcha (my favourite) but that might be just me being too picky. Tried more expensive matcha few times but I always go back to this one or the Bi matcha. In my opinion, this is one of the best matcha on desertcart and for a great price. ## Features - INTRODUCING, THE MASTERS COLLECTION - In the course of our work, we meet many tea estates and companies. Some large, some tiny, some focused on quantity, others focus on quality. The Masters Collection showcase the best and the boldest blends of matcha that come from these growers. - A BRAND NEW CULTIVAR - In 2017, the regional cooperative were experimenting with creating different cultivars of the tea plant to further enhance the flavors in matcha. They ended up with a new cultivar they named Seimei. Its known for its excellent green color and signature aroma. - A TASTY BLEND - The Limited Edition Chiran Harvest looks great and smells great, but also tastes great. It has a very smooth, very creamy texture and interesting nutty malt flavors. - LIMITED QUANTITIES - Because the Seimei cultivar has not yet entered full-scale commercial production, quantity is limited and we sometimes run out of stock. Waiting times may vary depending on the month of the year. Only approximately 150 kg available each year. - PROUDLY MADE IN CHIRAN, KAGOSHIMA PREFECTURE - Once upon a time, Kagoshima tea was seen as cheap and low quality. This is no longer the case. In fact, many of them have adapted strongly to the regional climate and terroir to produce great matcha and teas that have begun to rival the best that places like Uji and Shizuoka have to offer." ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07WMW86R3 | | ASIN | B07WMW86R3 | | Benefits | Premium Quality, Unique Flavor Profile, Rare and Exclusive | | Best Sellers Rank | 16,963 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) 104 in Green Tea | | Brand Name | Naoki Matcha | | Caffeine Content Description | Low Caffeine | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (386) | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (386) | | Each Unit Count | 1 | | Flavour | Chiran Harvest Limited Edition | | Item Dimensions | 5.6 x 5.6 x 6.4 centimetres | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Volume | 1.4 Fluid Ounces | | Item Weight | 0.09 Pounds | | Item model number | UZ-MVK5-ZMSS | | Manufacturer | Naoki Matcha | | Manufacturer | Naoki Matcha | | Model Number | UZ-MVK5-ZMSS | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | UZ-MVK5-ZMSS | | Product Dimensions | 5.59 x 5.59 x 6.35 cm; 40 g | | Recommended Uses For Product | Japanese tea ceremonies, preparing usucha or koicha style matcha | | Special Ingredients | Seimei cultivar | | Speciality | Single-Origin, Made from a New Cultivar | | Sweetness Description | Not Sweet | | Tea Variety | Matcha | | Unit Count | 1.411 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Naoki Matcha - **Flavour:** Chiran Harvest Limited Edition - **Item form:** Powder - **Item weight:** 0.09 Pounds - **Number of items:** 1 - **Package information:** Bag - **Recommended uses for product:** Japanese tea ceremonies, preparing usucha or koicha style matcha - **Speciality:** Single-Origin, Made from a New Cultivar - **Tea variety:** Matcha - **Unit count:** 1.411 count ## Images ![Master’s Collection Matcha - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u68eyEUUL.jpg) ![Master’s Collection Matcha - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41bD9jcnrmL.jpg) ![Master’s Collection Matcha - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61veZPSJC9L.jpg) ![Master’s Collection Matcha - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51vzJGrXkuL.jpg) ![Master’s Collection Matcha - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pCDBEZSXL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What are the ingredients?** A: Hi Lee, it is made out of pure matcha (high-grade green tea powder), grown under special conditions for 30 days before being harvested and ground.
