Jade Leaf Matcha Organic Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Powder - Barista Edition For Cafe Quality Tea & Lattes - Authentic Japanese Origin (3.53 Ounce Pouch)

No me gustó, que justo yo elegí este producto por que supuestamente venía en bote , y me llegó en 2 bolsas. La presentación también importa, y es por lo que yo pagué por que lo consideré importante.

I’ve always been a tea drinker and for convenience the individual packets has always been my go-to. It’s only been two days having one cup in the morning and I’ve noticed a strong potency from the powder compared to the bags. The caffeine is calm lasting and evenly distributed throughout the whole day. However, this brand is really pricey.

Delicious matcha! I tried Jade Leaf for the first time this year and it's really good for lattes and matcha concoctions like matcha lemonade. I tried it just plain with water and wasn't the biggest fan, so I think I'm going to try out a different brand once this runs out (hence the 4 stars) But it was great for everything else! I'm also super picky and have tried a lot of different matcha brands haha. But this is one of my favorites so far! Good blend, texture, and dissolves well!

I have bought so many types of matcha to date, I can't even remember all the brands. I have gotten culinary grade, and premium ceremonial grade, from different brands each time, and this one rates pretty high up there, but is not my number one. It's a good quality and taste, rich, bright green colour, and I like the tin. I kept the tin so when I buy other brands that come in a packet, I can store it in this tin.

I purchased the ceremonial grade for baristas. I read some of the reviews and I think a few people did not purchase the ceremonial grade. First flavour, it is smooth but lacks the bold notes of a true ceremonial matcha. I have participated in a few authentic tea ceremonies and the matcha has a very strong flavour. It is more like having a wheat grass shot, aka strong and bold (no it doesn't taste like wheat grass just strong flavour). Anyways the barista blend is very smooth with underlying distinct matcha flavour. It is not as strong as a true ceremonial matcha for that I assume you would need to pay for the much higher cost one. Colour is a nice green - not super strong but stronger than some other matcha I have purchased. I did buy the tin and there is a vacuum sealed bag inside. Vacuum seal bags can cause the matcha to clump. I haven't had any issues with clumping though. Highly recommend using a strainer to push through into your cup, bowl or barista steamer in order to remove any potential clumps and anything ungrounded matcha that ended up in the bag (it happens so for tea ceremony preparation, all the matcha is strained into a container to holder it for ceremonies). I prefer to leave mine in the bag so I get all the matcha and strain it each time I make the tea. I did also see complaints about price for size. Matcha is expensive unless you are buying culinary matcha. If you find cheap matcha, it is culinary and will lack strong flavour. Jade does offer a culinary blend. The Barista blend is good value for the money, if you are making a matcha latte with a simple or flavoured syrup - which provides additional flavour - it is why it is a barista blend. I would not drink this on its own as the flavour isn't super good on its own. I tried it both latte and plain - it needs something when it lacks milk and syrup. This blend is definitely for matcha lattes and if you want actually more flavour of matcha in a culinary item - although I think it is too expensive to use for culinary purposes. It is a small container. You do not need to use a lot to make matcha latte. I have a scope that is specific for 250 ml matcha latte. My little containers lasts about 30 days, if I am making one each day.
