How cool is this? Instant rooibos! Gourmet instant gratification! Lovely for enjoying as is, or making lattes, or even adding to smoothies. If you love the unique flavor of rooibos, this is definitely one to add to your tea cupboard.
Preparation
So after the June Steepster box, I wanted to try another matcha that was not a kitchen grade. To try out a good grade A brand after the steepster box sparked my interest. Looking at the reviews I wanted to try this one first.
I will say this is the first tea that I can actually feel the effect of the caffeine. I can drink a pot of coffee and then go straight to bed and not really think twice about it. This I can actually feel. I made two bowls of this a few days ago and I can feel it instantly. This is a good thing since I’m not a morning person. I feel great after drinking a bowl and want to start my day.
This matcha is buttery and smooth. It does not have a bite to it. I have had the Domatcha ceremonial grade and noticed a difference between the two. It has a nice green color to it and it smells fresh.
Preparation
Yum! I do love a chawan of Matcha. There really are very few teas that I find more invigorating … it’s a great way to recharge in the afternoon.
And this one is OUTSTANDING! One of the best I’ve tried. Sweet, buttery smooth! Usually with Matcha I notice a bittersweet kind of flavor to it … but this one has NO bitterness at all, just sweetness. Very nice… Smooth, thick and lovely.
I want to buy this so bad. My next tea purchase.
The only thing keeping me from getting into matcha is the purchase of the additional tools you would need.
Really, you don’t need additional tools. They do make it easier to prepare the matcha, but, you can prepare the matcha without them. You can use an ordinary spoon to scoop out the matcha: a Chashaku scoops out an amount of matcha that is about “almond size.” I use a small strainer to sift my matcha (I purchased it at the grocery store in the kitchen utensil section for a dollar or two). I use a chawan (matcha bowl) but you can use a cereal bowl or a wide mouthed cup for that matter. Even a chasen isn’t necessary – you can use small wire whisk to whisk your matcha, or you can even use a spoon to stir it, it might not end up quite as frothy as it would with the bamboo chasen, but it will still taste good.
^ I concur! I use a spoon and a wide mug and I’m good to go!
Added to my wish shopping list. Thanks.
Thank you for this info! I had my first matcha today although it was a cold milk matcha but LOVED it!! Absolutely want to get some. They had some for sale there but was 30.00 bucks for a small tin. I need to do some price shopping.
Delicious smooth creamy refreshing taste. I preferred it over ice with added condiments such as milk and sugar but has a good natural straight taste as well. Something I could see myself drinking for a long time and never really lose interest. Highly recommended.
A delicious matcha, a beautiful light green colored powder and a dark green liquor. It had a sweet, kelpy flavor with no bitterness whatsoever. My only complaint was that it came in a bag inside the container and it was a mess to get it out of the bag.
Preparation
Having this matcha tea is like finding wine in a sea of beer. I have had it plain, and as a latte and so far it’s become my favourite matcha. It comes across the palette very smoothly, not powdery, and with a hint of sweetness. Kind of like Ovaltine but with a lighter flavour. I can see either Vanilla or Cinnamon bringing the honey sweetness out as a dessert, or you can use it in a base mix for chai. Next, I think I will try making it into ice cream!
Finding it locally has been a pain however. With so many tea shops in Toronto you’d think that at least ONE would carry it! I ordered it online instead. It came in a silver packet, inside its aluminum tin, wrapped in a bubble wrap envelope. It was a bit of a pain getting every dot of rooibus out of the packaging and into its tin but worth it. :) The delivery time took about 3-4 Days from Florida to Toronto.
I’d say this as an expensive and rare drink it truly hits the spot for any occasion. Served hot, cold, or as a base for recipes. Very versatile, healthy and delicious!
I am a big matcha drinker. I bought pure matcha from their website and I haven’t heard much about this brand other than some reviews on twitter and steepster. They seemed to have good reviews so I went for it. What I can tell you is that is 100% Ceremonial Matcha. definitely one of my favorites. It smells like matcha should smell, FRESH!!! The taste is even better. I created a steepster account just to leave this review so I hope it helps. See ya.

This is the best Ceremonial Grade Matcha that I have ever had!!!!! I have had 23 different types of matcha if anyone is asking lol. I couldnt believe how unbelievable the freshness was. It has a sweet vegetal taste. As I read other peoples reviews I see everyone pretty much agrees with me. Great price too if I do say so myself.
