Chaism Blueberry Matcha Latte Mix - Premium Matcha Green Tea Powder Gluten-Free Vegan, 1.06oz Tin

The media could not be loaded. Let me start by saying I am quickly becoming an Amazon matcha connoisseur.I am learning how to study where the Matcha is sourced from if it's authentic, stoneground and until now I was only buying product of Japan Matcha.I bought this by mistake early on and just opened it tonight.It was vivid green just as it's supposed to be for first Harvest.It tastes amazing as in the unami was perfectly balanced.I am now reading up on Chinese Matcha as it was started there but apparently the soil in Japan provides a higher grade of Matcha because of how it's prepared.Below I have included some research on the difference between Japanese Matcha and Chinese.Shade-Growing: Tea plants are shaded for several weeks before harvest, increasing chlorophyll and L-theanine content, resulting in a vibrant green color and pronounced umami flavor.Steaming and Air-Drying: The leaves are steamed to prevent oxidation and air-dried to preserve their flavor and nutrients.Stone-Grinding: Traditionally, and for ceremonial-grade matcha, leaves are slowly ground using granite stone mills (ishi-usu). This preserves the delicate flavor compounds and creates an ultra-fine, smooth powder that mixes beautifully with water. The process is slow, taking roughly an hour to grind 30 grams.Chinese Matcha: While the practice of powdered tea originated in China, the traditional methods of matcha production evolved differently. Today, Chinese matcha production differs from its Japanese counterpart in several ways:Lack of Shade-Growing: Chinese matcha is not typically grown in the shade, resulting in a less vibrant green color and a less pronounced umami flavor, according to Matcha.com.Pan-Frying: Chinese green tea, including some varieties used for matcha, is often pan-fried instead of steamed, which can alter the flavor profile, making it more earthy or even bitter, according to Matcha.com.Grinding Methods: Chinese matcha may be ground using faster, modern machinery, which generates heat that can degrade the tea's quality. Some is also still hand-ground, according to 3 Leaf Tea. This can result in a coarser, more inconsistent powder texture.After reading all of this I found this Matcha to be of a very high quality and as good if not better than some high grade I have had from Japan.I would definitely buy this again.I love preparing my matcha and it is truly a peaceful part of my day.This is quite expensive for a small amount so you really have to search for others to find your favorite at a fair price.

The Chaism ceremonial grade matcha is amazing! It has a very smooth and slight umami flavor that is not too overpowering. It mixes extremely well too. My favorite way to pair this is with maple syrup, blueberry jam and whole milk! The quality is amazing and you get so much powder for a good price. I just finished my can, and will definitely be purchasing again.

Excellent matcha! I tasted it as usucha (just the powder and hot water whisked together) and loved it! I’m not super experienced with tasting notes, but I thought it was pleasantly bitter with a slight umami flavor and a slight sweetness. I’m a daily matcha latte drinker and it’s excellent with milk and a small amount of sweetener. This matcha is from Hangzhou, China, and I can say it has both a lovely flavor and color, with a perfectly smooth texture with no hard leaf bits. I’ve purchased three tins of this and will continue to buy!

Ceremonial Grade MatchaI really enjoyed this matcha. It has a smooth, pleasant flavor that’s perfect for anyone just getting into the world of matcha. Since it’s ceremonial grade, the quality is noticeable—vibrant green color, fine texture, and no bitterness. It blends easily and tastes great both on its own and with oat milk. A great choice for beginners looking for something authentic and delicious.

This ceremonial matcha powder offers a vibrant green color and smooth texture, making it a solid option for those who enjoy matcha casually. It blends well with both hot and cold water, producing a pleasant, slightly grassy flavor that is not overly bitter. While the taste may not reach the depth or umami richness found in higher-end ceremonial grades, it remains enjoyable and accessible for everyday use. A great choice for those looking to incorporate matcha into their routine without the premium price point.

I'm no matcha expert, but I think this matcha is pretty good! Good color, taste, etc.

I decided to try Chaism Ceremonial Grade Matcha after a friend recommended it, and I’m so glad I did. The taste is far better than the matcha I’ve ordered at Starbucks. It’s smooth, fresh, and never bitter. Plus, making it at home is not only more affordable, but I can customize it exactly how I like it, hot or iced, and spend a fraction of the cost per cup.What really stands out is how great I feel after drinking it. It gives me a clean energy boost with no jitters or sugar crashes since it’s virtually sugar-free. It also helps me feel relaxed and focused, which is perfect for busy mornings or winding down in the afternoon.Beyond the energy, it’s packed with antioxidants, and supports gut health, heart and brain function, and even weight management. It’s become a daily ritual I look forward to and knowing it’s doing something good for my body is a huge bonus. If you’re looking for quality ceremonial matcha with real benefits, this is it.

I am in love with this matcha, the color is pretty and it tastes so good. I got a whisk set and its very easy to whisk, and have loved pairing it with oat milk and agave. My friend loved it too when she tried it that I got her one for her birthday. The quality is amazing and the price is very affordable. I really recommend this matcha!
