Japanese Green Tea Powder CEREMONIAL GRADE MATCHA

Green Tea by Japanese Green Tea Direct From Farm (ebay Store)

Macha quality and price are varied mainly by procedures and the time of harvest.
Cheap macha is harvested in fall and produced by a “ball mill” which can produce massively(a ball mill produces 1000g in a hour approx.)
by this method, it deteriorates quolity of Matcha in color, scent, taste, natural sweetness and good nutritions by heat.

　Our Matcha is harvested in Spring and take a lot of time for grounding with a stone mill as a traditional procedure.
This procedure makes Matcha`s aroma and sweetness be enhanced and it`s color and scent is kept fresh.
A stone mill can mill matcha particle smaller than 10μ, so matcha can easy to melt in water and taste is smoother.

One stone mill can produce Matcha only up to 70g in a hour. and to ship fresh matcha, We produce Matcha only for orders.

　Here is a matcha directly from Japan, great price and quality.
Recommended Matcha for ceremoney and for cooking.

Well when i got my DoMatcha reward tin and realized i loooove matcha latte i got scared i’d run out of it too fast. And matcha cant be bought in my country. Sad i know. Ordering little DoMatcha tins was kinda too pricey so i went to look for some more affordable decent replacement. And I found it. This was 20$ for 100g of matcha plus a gift sampler of some green tea (title is in japanese – having issues figuring out what it could be).

I made a latte and it’s almost as good as DoMatcha. Maybe it’s just slightly less delicate and smooth. But really barely. For me it’s almost as good. And that means yummm.

So see, ebay can be good too ;)

I also got the tea delivered in just 2 weeks from Japan – and shipping was free.

Here’s the link of the ebay store in case you dare to try ;)

Have been making banana/melon/yogurt/milk shakes with it all summer. Drank it like that or frozen and more like icecream. Absolutely love the shakes – and peeps around me loved them too.

Matcha itself without milk i can’t drink. Bitter. Idk if that’s normal with matcha tea or it’s just this one that’s like that? Even a sip of milk changes it completely to delicious.

I ordered more :D Hooked I am on Matcha NaNa Milk shake at the moment – and i spoiled some friends with it too. What i do is pretty much:
3 banana’s
1,5 tsp matcha
few oz’s of milk
little bit of lemon juice
ice (almost as much as milk)
and a little bit of sugar (not necessarily)

I usually stir everything else first in the shaker, then add and stir the matcha powder in the end.

Yummmmmmm ;)

It’s not bad but I think ceremonial matcha should be better than this. Well, I’ve never had a really good expensive stuff before but from the 4 different matcha I have so far. This one would be 3 in the rank in terms of price and how much I like the tea. The colour is good. The flavour seems to be on the mild side.
