I've only had ceremonial grade matcha once and it was the smoothest, sweetest, most vibrant, and aromatic matcha I've ever had. But I'm too poor to buy that so I stick with my $6 (probably) culinary grade big bag of matcha from a local Asian mart lmao. Put it in some milk with a tiny bit of sugar and it gets the job done (better than the crap that Starbucks tries to serve 🤮)

@easyrock6296 Год назад

Starbucks’s matcha is awful and results may vary depending on who’s working…. I’ve tried it a few times and it was different and I was not impressed nor would get it again. In Florida Kahwa coffee does a pretty solid matcha latte for 6$ and it’s been my favorite from a coffee shop

I personally recommend buying matcha from specialty tea shops, especially those who specialize in Japanese tea.They usually carry the good, ceremonial grade stuff and they also carry real, proper matcha.Most "Matchas" you see are just green tea powder, real matcha is made of young shadowed green tea leaves that are steamed, "deveined" and ground super finely.The green tea powders are usually made of just any old green tea. Nowadays there are a lot of online tea retailers and its a great chance to support small businesses.If you live in Europe there's also a great chance that you have a tea shop in your town.

@ksb6680 Год назад

Love this, would love to see a part 2!👍😊 I drink all of Pique’s black teas and their fermented Pu’er tea which I love! Not as crazy about their green teas, pretty bitter, and I like their matcha but I agree I don’t think it’s the best, and quite expensive. But the selling point for their teas and matcha is not only organic but they are all quadruple tested for molds and toxins, heavy metals, pesticides, radioactive isotopes, etc, which is really important for me because these toxins can be really prevalent in matcha teas, and any teas, even if they are organic. So is important to check for these. But my go to matcha for years has been Encha, they have all grades, their ceremonial and latte grades are both excellent, and the price is very reasonable especially with a subscription. It’s also a brand I trust for quality & testing, and also grown in Uji Japan. So I would love for you to try it.😊 But I also really want to try the Matchaful, House of Matcha and the Ippodo, I just don’t know which ones to choose?😅

@stpierreorama 2 месяца назад

@@RedRangerOfficialWhat do you expect when you buy a 12oz bag for $16? If you want ceremonial grade you’ll pay $25-30 for a 1oz tin. For what it is the Costco everyday matcha is a very good value. It’s better than culinary grade and not as good as premium or ceremonial grade.

The Ito En brand green tea at Costco is indeed delicious and a great value but they use nylon tea bags which seeps micro plastics into your cup. It’s better to buy loose leaf and brew in a Kyusu.

Jade Leaf is my favorite. I have been drinking it now for about 8 years, and each time I tried something else, I always find my way back to Jade Leaf. I really feel my body soaks it up- I feel so good, just an overall healthier feeling within me. I do not know exactly what it does on an internal level, but I go by how I feel. And the taste, is perfect for me.

@lynnesachs2330 Год назад

I typically drink the Trader Joe's or mighty leaf matcha, but tried Costco's recently. I got 3 bags for $50 total. It was the first time I had to take opened food back because Costco's was utter garbage, totally undrinkable. Even mixing it into a latte was nasty to me. Would ONLY be consumable in baking. I was so curious about Pique's compared to these matchas since it's marketed so heavily, thanks for reviewing them!! I'm going to get one of your recs :) Also, I'm curious about Bird Blend flavored matcha! I saw someone's collection on r/tea and I used to LOVE T2's orange jaffa matcha & salted milkshake matcha, which they don't sell in the US anymore, but I wonder if Bird Blend's matchas would be any good.
