Miya Matcha (Ceremonial)

I recommend MIYA to anyone looking for a moderately priced, high quality matcha. Especially those looking to make it at home to save money and overall enjoy a better drink for your dollar.To start here are the basics- Upon opening the tin, the smell was super strong, sweet, earthy, and nutty i was pleasantly surprised- MIYA has a vibrant green hue and comparing to other ceremonial matcha it’s not dull, but also not as bright- matcha by itself has a slightly bitter, but sweet grassy taste with slight hints of nutty almond flavor- This powder is BEYOND blend-able even without a chasen (trad. matcha whisk), it’s smooth, rich, and froths so beautifully! Also YES IT CAN MAKE MICROFOAM:)))Below is a continued review of quality and price, what I used to prepare matcha, and what it was paired withPRICE- This is a great quality for a great price. I was a barista for two years, and have continued the craft at home.It is extremely difficult to get a drink with matcha tailored the way I like it, and frankly disappointing when it’s undrinkable, filled with iced and over $7.- Customized matcha in my area ranges from $7- $9, and by my third drink with MIYA I broke way over broke even.PREP- I use a $15 four-piece set that came with a chasen, holder, and two traditional scoopers. Of that I use the chasen, one scooped, small stainless steel mixing bowl, 4 oz espresso pot (for hot water)- I did not buy a traditional bowl, a controlled temp tea kettle, a scale, or any of this super fancy equipment some matcha users utilize.- Matcha Konomi has a high enough quality that doesn’t require a sifter, all drinks mentioned and pictured are made without powder being sifted.PAIRINGS (drinks made with MIYA)- Iced Matcha Latte with Toranis salted caramel syrup- Iced Matcha Latte with salted caramel banana cream foam top- Dirty Iced Matcha with honey pistachio butter cream top

I recently dove into the world of matcha, on a mission to find a truly clean option, and let me tell you—Miya Matcha is an absolute game-changer! After trying various name brands, from the pricey to the budget-friendly, I became increasingly aware of the potential lead content lurking in matcha powder. To my dismay, even my strainer revealed metal debris! But then I discovered Miya Matcha, a brand that prioritizes safety by testing for heavy metals. I just had to give it a shot!From the very first sip, I was blown away. The matcha is incredibly smooth, truly unlike anything I’ve tried before! After falling in love with it, I’ve already purchased two bags and can confidently say I’ll be a lifelong subscriber. The purity and quality are outstanding, and the price is more than favorable. Thank you, Miya Matcha, for producing such a clean, high-quality product that I can enjoy every day! 🌿💚

I greatly enjoy this matcha. The color, smell, and taste are all fantastic. It dissolves quickly and easily produces a rich satisfying foam. This matcha is delicious with no bitterness or grittiness . The packaging is high quality and the metal container seems to be air tight to help keep the matcha fresh. My package came with a thank you card from the CEO of the company. Give this matcha a try If you are looking for a high quality and superb product. You will not be sorry.

I’ve been a “high quality” matcha drinker for probably a year now and while the color of this matcha did make me skeptical of it at first I will say for the price point and how much you get it is well worth it. Will definitely be buying again!

This is my first match purchase beside trying the costco culinary type. It comes well packaged with the expiration date on the plastic. I can say that the color, smell, taste & seal of the package were great. It was easy to dissolve as I whisk it away. The taste to me was smooth & no bitterness or dullness. My order came with a thank you from the Ceo. From tasting culinary grade to ceremonial grade, this is definitely a step up. It seems to be a high quality & a well put together matcha. I can not speak to the energy level as I am currently sipping on it. Would recommend.

This matcha is an incredible quality for an incredible price! The brightest, most vibrant matcha, with a smooth and delicious taste. I will purchase this product again and again! Thank you, Matcha Konomi!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Absolutely delicious. This (and their Akira) are the best ceremonial grade matcheas I have had. It is smooth with buttery/Umami tones and no bitterness. As well, the customer service is fantastic with quick response times (I had reached out to see when products might be back in stock).

I'm a daily matcha drinker and usually buy matcha powder from Japanese brands, but this one is good, smooth, and tasty! Great quality for the price.
