Ratings and Reviews of Cooking Matcha - From Uji Japan

Ordered this on O-Cha's recommendation after we reviewed their powdered Sencha. It arrived in less than a week, but I only got to review it now because it's been rather busy lately.

This is even better than the powdered Sencha, and for (I think) the same price per gram! Started with a raw tasting. So much umami in a humble cup. And not a hint of astringency unlike the sencha. Even when I lick any loose powder off of the teaspoon I use to scoop it. The colour is more of an olive green rather than the electric green I imagined, but this is cooking grade matcha, and it doesn't detract from the taste.

I put it in everything I drink that isn't water: my protein shakes, meal replacement shakes, and it complements them quite nicely.

Gives me quite a bit of energy to boot. I remember not taking it the other day and I ended up napping for several hours. It really keeps me up when I have to. :)

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll likely keep this in stock for regular consumption. And then save up for something a bit fancier later down the road. Looking forward to more of your great offerings!

Best cooking grade matcha money can buy. Color and taste really prove the quality. Gonna be ordering regulary from now on.

Absolutely delicious in a latte. Compared to matchas from outside Japan, the taste blows them out of the water, even ones labelled "ceremonial grade." Can't wait to use in smoothies and baking.

Very competitive price and great value-for-money quality. We use this mostly for baking or sweets and it's very suitable for that. Matcha lattes are also possible but we found it more suited for cooking pursuits. Loose, the matcha's color is a bit dull but this shouldn't be compared with ceremonial grade matcha anyway and in baked goods the color turns a vibrant dark green. Hopefully, it will keep a while - 300g is quite a lot.

Great matcha for my cookign and latte everyday i like it

Exceptional value and the taste is great baked in smoothie or just drink on it is own. I promise, you won’t find better culinary grade matcha for that price, not even in Japan. Much better than most of the low priced so called ceremonial grade matcha you see on sale outside of Japan. Buy with confidence, you won’t be disappointed.

Quality cooking grade matcha. Tastes amazing and is a wonderful addition to my smoothie sessions. Fresh and potent.
