Superior Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder from NISHIO JAPAN | Japanese Tea KIMIKURA | Matcha KIMIKURA (2_Nishio [Competition Grade -Ceremonial] 30g/1oz tin)

KyotoI can’t write a review for the Kyoto blend for some reason so I’ll do it here because this matcha is TOP Class .This blen in the brown can is phenomenal. The aroma has a pungent yet floral smell not overpowering but balanced and indication of greasiness.The color as you can see is even more vibrant jade green than their other blends but not super dark.The texture or ground is ultra fine. If I’m to compare all their levels of how they grind the matcha it’s clear that they do a better job at every price point . All of them are stone ground it just get better with the quality tier.This matcha also froths very well , I have found this with all their blends.So the flavor, this matcha has more umami than their other blends. It’s almost a mix of seaweed and floral notes and sweetness. Then you notice the creamy texture and smoothness at the end.Hands down this is the best matcha with good caffeine content . If you want premium premium matcha you have to try this “Kyoto” blend .I’m not sure at $55 this is an everyday matcha but it’s worth it if you want to experience the best amazon has to offer .This brand has been nothing but excellent and you will not be disappointed unless you are accustomed to the mediocre organic brands on amazon.IMO if your drinking matcha usucha stay away from organic matcha and if your drinking kociha this is a must matcha.—————————///nishioThis is the my third time trying this brand . They never fail to produce a great product!This is the second time I have tried this blend and it’s even better than the first time .This matcha is very balance and gentle on your palate. The is nothing overwhelming in aroma or flavor .It has a nice floral smell over a pungent grassy smell .The taste is very rounded and has good umami.The color is a bright pale green, not a vibrant jade green that is usually coupled with strong and pungent grassy aromasThis is stone ground and very smooth. The most memorable thing about this matcha is how SWEER it is.This is by far one of the best matcha teas on Amazon and if you think otherwise ... your mistaken.Kimikura blend————————20 march 2021This blend is another excellent choice. The most memorable part of this matcha is bold seaweed sensation. The color is bright emerald green, exactly what you are looking for from a premium brand that and is an indicator of freshness. If Matcha sits out to long in the elements it will loose is color and vibrance even turn white over time in extreme conditions.At first impressions you get a nice balance aroma when you open the tin and when you take your initial scoop you can tell its super fine stone ground matcha. You generally can tell by how it clumps like moon dust. Another key indicator for premium quality. This matcha mixes well and is very smooth to the lips. There is a slight creaminess with no bitterness, it’s not sweet, i would call it neutral when it comes to sweetness. This particular blend has a lot of umami notes and have a very strong sensation of seaweed but not grassy at all.IMO the kimikura blend Is an excellent option for a daily ceremonial matcha and should be a bench mark for any matcha drinker.

Super delish. A little too seaweedy for my taste but it was clearly high quality and I'd rather have something bold than bland. This was my third matcha from Kimikura Tea and they've all been yummy.

Love this stuff, and for a more premium matcha the price isn't obscene at all.

Made in Japan. Great taste, not too hard not too light

This is my first Matcha tea I’ve bought and so far after researching how to make lattes and what color the powder should be when in the container... it’s great. I didn’t buy a whisk so I used an immersion blender (slowly) and it was still great! Love it!

I drink matcha a lot! And I always try new matcha and rate them. This match tastes like culinary grade. It was very bitter and strong weird smell.

First, this tea was delivered in less than 24hrs of order! The tea is neon green, fresh tasting like almonds and milk with a green sugar scent like sugar cane. The is no bitterness in prepared tea and raw powder. Amazing, will buy again!!!

I think the pictures I included are worth 1000 words. When I opened and saw how wonderfully it was presented in that elaborate wrapping and then to find out the tin had an extra seal on the inside to help keep the Matcha fresh. You can see the bright green color in the matcha bowl and you can see how easily it frothed up. The taste was superb and I went back to purchase their next highest grade which I can’t wait to try!
