I found this to be a decent beginner-friendly option. When I opened the pouch, it smelled sweet with umami and vegetal notes, and the powder was a nice green with slight yellow undertones. It whisked up nicely into a microfoam and paired well with oat milk, offering a medium body with bold umami and toasted nuttiness. However, I did notice a bit of a powdery and chalky taste which brought the experience down slightly. Overall, I give it a 3.5 out of 5.

I'm giving this one a 4.5 out of 5. As soon as I opened the tin, I noticed a bright, vivid green powder with a sweet aroma that leaned slightly floral and chocolatey. It sifted beautifully and whisked up into a thick, creamy microfoam. Mixed with oat milk, it was medium-bodied, super smooth, and naturally sweet with nutty and umami notes. It honestly tasted like ice cream with no astringency at all. I think I've found my new favorite matcha on Amazon.

I was so excited to finally try this hard-to-get matcha, and it instantly became a new favorite. The powder had a chocolatey richness and a deep, vibrant green color with no yellow tones. Prepared as an oat milk latte, it was creamy, sweet, and nutty, tasting just like ice cream to me. It had a medium body with slight astringency that felt very well balanced. I rated this an easy 4.5 out of 5.

This matcha holds a special place in my heart and has quickly become one of my favorites. I've repurchased it so many times I even have an Amazon subscription. The powder is a deep vivid green with a rich, sweet, and nutty aroma. On the palate, I found it medium to light bodied with a creamy texture and pronounced umami. It has a delicate nutty sweetness with very slight bitterness. I rate this 4 out of 5 and it's definitely a go-to everyday matcha.

I've been seeing this brand all over my feed and was excited to finally try the Neon Mellow blend. It lived up to its description as a bright neon matcha straight from Japan. The powder had a sweet, nutty scent with soft floral notes. When paired with oat milk, it was creamy with balanced nutty and light umami flavors. There was a gentle astringency that the milk mellowed out beautifully, leaving a soft finish. I'd recommend this for anyone who loves a nutty matcha with a little edge.

I found Kan to be a beautifully balanced blend with rich umami and gentle sweetness. It has a medium body and smooth texture, rounded out by just a touch of astringency that lingers pleasantly. I think it is definitely perfect for an everyday matcha latte, as the mild astringency pairs perfectly with milk to create a creamy, well-rounded cup. It feels both luxurious and easy to enjoy daily. I give it a four out of five.

I'd give this Hime blend a three out of five. The packaging gave me cool Demon Slayer vibes, and the powder was buttery smooth with a sweet, floral scent like spring in a jar. While it frothed up nicely, the color was disappointingly yellow compared to others I've tried. The taste was creamy and slightly sweet with floral hints, but it didn't have a ton of umami. I also picked up a bit of astringency and bitterness at the end.

I found this matcha to have a vibrant green shade and a chocolatey aroma with slight floral notes upon opening. It sifted smoothly and created a nice microfoam when whisked. In my oat milk latte, the flavor was mellow and light-bodied, featuring hints of nuttiness, a bit of umami, and some tartness with slight astringency. Because I personally prefer a medium to full-bodied matcha, I gave this one a 3 out of 5.

I found this to be a high-quality powder with a deep, vivid green color that indicates its quality. It frothed beautifully when whisked, creating a soft, creamy layer that held up well. In my oat milk latte, the flavor was defined by a deep, lingering umami and subtle toasty notes. Although it wasn't naturally sweet, it had a very well-balanced taste with absolutely no bitterness or astringency. Overall, I gave it a 3.5 out of 5 and think it's perfect for those who love umami flavors.

I finally decided to try Sunday Matcha after seeing it all over TikTok. Upon opening, I noticed the powder had a muted green color and a vegetal, floral scent. While it frothed up nicely, the flavor was super light-bodied and completely overpowered by my oat milk. It was smooth but had some bitterness and slight astringency with almost no distinct flavor notes. Overall, I rated it a 2.5 out of 5 and wouldn't recommend it to experienced matcha drinkers.

I found this to be a perfect everyday matcha, especially given how accessible and affordable it is on Amazon. Upon opening, the powder was a vibrant green with a sweet aroma and floral hints. Prepared with oat milk, it had a medium to full body that felt creamy and smooth on the palate. The flavor profile was rich in umami with nutty undertones and gentle vegetal notes. I rated it a solid 4 out of 5.

I was impressed by the quality of this matcha, especially considering it is the second most affordable option in their lineup. Upon opening, the powder revealed a beautiful vibrant green hue and a sweet, nutty aroma. When paired with oat milk, it had a smooth, creamy texture with mellow umami and subtle floral notes. It definitely holds its own against higher priced matchas.

I finally decided to open another tin of this, which has become one of my current everyday matcha choices. My husband and I finished the first tin so fast, making it a nice little treat for Christmas Eve. If you love a creamy and nutty matcha with no bitterness, this is definitely a must try. It is definitely worth the hype and I love that it’s usually in stock.

I found this matcha to be a vibrant green color with a buttery, sweet, and toasty aroma right out of the tin. It sifted beautifully and whisked effortlessly into a velvety microfoam. When mixed with oat milk, it was bold and medium-bodied, offering an incredibly creamy and naturally sweet taste with nutty umami notes throughout. It honestly reminded me of Korean honey butter chips in the best way.

I am making a matcha latte using one of my new favorite powders, Ummon from Ippodo Tea. Making these lattes makes me so happy, especially when drinking from cute cups.

I found this to be a great option for a daily matcha, especially given the price point of $25 for 40 grams. The powder itself was a vibrant green with a sweet, toasty aroma that felt buttery while sifting. When I made it as an oat milk latte, it had a medium body and was creamy with subtle sweetness and buttery notes. However, I did detect more astringency than I typically prefer, though the milk helped balance that out. Overall, I rated it a 3.5 out of 5.

I decided to make a strawberry horchata with matcha and it was amazing. I used Ippodo's Ikuyo, which is one of my favorites specifically for mixed drinks. I really love that the matcha flavor still shines through even when I use other flavors with it.

Overall I was really impressed with my first experience with Korean matcha. Upon opening the tin, the powder was a vibrant green shade with a sweet nutty aroma and a light floral note. The powder was very fine and whisked up into a smooth microfoam. Mixed with my usual oat milk in a latte, I found it light bodied but well balanced with umami notes, nuttiness, and slight bitterness. It feels beginner friendly and perfect for when I'm in the mood for something more mellow and refreshing.

I used this organic matcha to make an iced classic matcha latte, which is my absolute favorite drink. I consider this specific powder to be my new favorite.

I am starting my morning with one of my favorite nutty, creamy matchas. This one is extra nutty and always feels like a special treat.

Overall, I give this matcha a 3 out of 5. Upon opening the tin, I found the powder to be a vibrant green with a sweet, grassy aroma, and it sifted easily due to its fine texture. In a latte with oat milk, it was medium-bodied, creamy, and smooth. The flavor profile leaned grassy with subtle umami and nuttiness, though I detected some bitterness and slight astringency on the finish that the milk helped to balance.

I'm so in love with this one and I give it a 5 out of 5. Upon opening the pouch, I was greeted by a scent that was very sweet, buttery, slightly grassy, and some umami notes. The powder itself was a vibrant emerald green and sifted beautifully, whisking up into a creamy microfoam. Mixed with my usual oat milk in a latte, this matcha was medium-bodied and incredibly smooth. The flavor reminded me of a buttery croissant with soft chocolate notes and a touch of nuttiness. It was very creamy and sweet and even reminded me of another matcha from a much more pricey brand.
