Very smooth and great quality. I really enjoyed this ceremonial matcha. It has a rich, clean flavor with very little bitterness, and it mixes easily into a creamy cup.
The powder has a beautiful jade-green color, which is a clear sign of carefully grown and well-processed tea leaves. It looks fresh and vibrant, without the dull yellow or brown tones often found in lower-grade matcha.
It tastes especially good on its own, but also works well in a latte. Overall, I’m very happy with the quality and would definitely purchase it again.
I love this matcha! I usually make mine with unsweetened almond milk and a little monk fruit sweetener, which makes it extra smooth without taking away from the matcha flavour. The packaging is also beautiful and feels really premium. It's become part of my daily routine, and I'd definitely purchase it again.
I love matcha and have been drinking ceremonial-grade matcha for years. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this one, especially for the price. The flavour is smooth with very little bitterness—just the tiniest hint, which I actually think adds character. It has a subtle nutty flavour and whisks into a rich, creamy microfoam.
I was pleasantly surprised by this matcha. The powder has a vibrant green color, blends easily with minimal clumping, and tastes fresh and full-bodied without being overly bitter. It works equally well for a creamy matcha latte or a traditional bowl of matcha. Considering the quality, beautiful packaging, and price, it offers great value. I’d happily purchase it again.
This matcha powder is perfect for anyone who prefers a smoother, less grassy flavour. It has a gentle creaminess that blends beautifully into a velvety, well-rounded taste. The texture is silky, the aroma is calming, and it creates a rich cup without any bitterness. Whether mixed with milk or served hot on its own, the creamy and velvety finish makes every sip feel luxurious. A great choice for those who love a softer, more refined matcha profile.
Highly recommend! The Artisanal Blend impressed me with its excellent quality and rich flavor. It tastes fresh and smooth, rivaling more expensive options. What’s great is that it’s also very affordable, making it a fantastic choice for everyday enjoyment without breaking the bank.
This is an outstanding product that consistently delivers excellent quality. It makes smooth, flavorful matcha drinks with a rich taste and vibrant color. The quality is reliable with every use, making it a go-to choice for anyone who enjoys authentic matcha. Highly recommended for both casual drinkers and matcha enthusiasts.
This was surprisingly delicious. It stood up to milk so well, and perfect for lattes. The color is absolutely bright green, which really surprised me given the price point for 40 grams and its availability!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
This matcha is amazing! I'm a huge fan of matcha and this one is the best I've ever tried. The flavor is so smooth and has a subtle sweetness that I love. It has a vibrant, deep green color and a pleasant aroma. The packaging is also beautiful and the price is very reasonable for such a high quality product. I'm so happy I found RINSUI Matcha, I can't wait to try their other grades! 5 stars!
I’ve purchased this matcha three times now, and the quality has been consistently great. It blends easily and has a smooth taste without the bitterness or chalky texture I’ve experienced with other brands.
I also love that it gives me a calm, focused energy without the jitters I usually get from coffee. Will continue to buy this!
AMAZING matcha!!! I love trying new ceremonial grade matchas and its been hard to find good one. I heard about this matcha and it was definitely worth the purchase! Will be repurchasing for sure :)
My first "better" grade matcha and I loveee it. Chocolatey notes on the scent profile, nutty yet vegetal (in a good way) taste within the matcha. Can be made without sifting the matcha but better with - slightly hard to sift but may be my sifter because I have a regular strainer and spoon and not a matcha making kit. Foams and mixes very well with a rechargeable handheld frother. I've made about 6 matchas, roughly 12 oz (still a little more than half of the tin left) and I will be buying another tin when this one is done .
This is the matcha brand I’m most loyal to. I’ve bought it around 8-9 times already , and every single time it still hits me like the first. Both in terms of price and the quality of its flavor. It has a really clear umami aftertaste, I’ve never gotten any grainy texture ( or maybe I just whisk it right), or that unpleasant bitter finish like some other matcha. It also has this light, natural creamy taste that you can feel the moment it hits your tongue
This is literally the best matcha I have had and so easy to make lattes with! Seriously never getting another matcha brand again! I made a berry cobbler matcha and it did not take away from the earthly flavor at all! 10/10
This is THE best matcha hands down for so many reasons. I have tried other ceremonial grade matcha brands, especially to save more money. But I'm telling you...this is by far the richest, creamiest, finest powder and absolutely worth EVERY penny / the extra 5 dollars. And you WILL feel energized after drinking this. In summary: Blendability: 10/10, Smoothness: 10/10, Taste: 10/10, Caffeine content: 10/10, Color/richness: 10/10. I do wish it lasted me longer, but that speaks to how much I genuinely love/use RINSUI. Also, as someone with GERD, I can say this matcha isn't as bitter / upsetting to my stomach. I've never had problems and I genuinely feel better energy, concentration + digestion-wise when I drink this everyday. Other brands, I will end up overusing to feel the same effects.
This ceremonial matcha is fantastic! The color is a beautiful, vibrant green, and it smells fresh and earthy. When whisked, it creates a smooth, frothy cup with a rich flavor that isn’t too bitter.I’ve tried several matchas before, but this one stands out for its quality and taste. It’s perfect for traditional tea ceremonies or just a calming morning ritual. The powder is fine and blends easily, making it easy to enjoy every time.If you’re a matcha lover or looking to try a high-quality ceremonial grade, this one is definitely worth it. It makes every cup feel special!
This is definitely a high end matcha powder. The color stays the same, it's a beautiful and bright color. The taste is your typical match, no bitterness. The blendability is easy and does not clump up. I would buy again.
It was vibrant and premium packaged. The texture of the powder was very fine. The powder mixes up quite well as long as the water is the right temperature - too hot or too cold, and it doesn't mix as well. The texture of the tea, once mixed with water, is subtly thicker and presents itself with a nice, rich, vibrant green.The taste hits several notes (I don't profess to be an officinado), but it was only slightly grassy, no bitterness, light, aromatic, with a very delicate/light floral note (barely there but enough to detect). After finishing the cup, I do not feel a rush of energy, but I find that it does promote a lighter and overall pleasant feeling of well-being.I do not have a lot of experience with Matcha powder in general, but I do really enjoy this tea.
I really love the texture of this matcha powder - it is earthy and a good combination between rich and smooth. It is definitely good quantity and quality for the price. I like it more than all of the matcha powders that I have purchased in this price range. The container is pretty functional as well. I think the caffeine is pretty strong and it serves its purpose. It hasn't made my stomach upset at all, even when I consume it twice a day. I would definitely recommend this and I will be repurchasing it again!
I love this tea! So much better than the stuff sold in tea bags. The flavor is intense and I like to use just 1/2 teaspoon mixed with fresh-brewed green tea. It's a refreshing pick-me-up later in the day that doesn't give me caffeine overload.
The color is a vibrant, electric green right out of the tin, which let me know immediately that it’s actually a high-quality first harvest. It whisks up into a beautiful, silky froth with absolutely zero bitterness or chalky aftertaste. I’ve been drinking it straight with just hot water every morning, and it gives me a smooth, clean energy boost without the usual coffee jitters. Honestly, for a certified ceremonial grade, the quality you get for the price makes this an absolute staple in my kitchen now.

Before harvest, the tea plants are shaded to naturally develop richer umami, gentle sweetness, and their vibrant green color.
03 Harvest
Harvested at peak freshness, the youngest tea leaves are carefully gathered to preserve their delicate aroma and pristine flavor of the season’s first flush.
04 Quality Selection
Each harvest is carefully inspected before processing. Only tea leaves that meet our standards for quality, balance, and character continue the journey to become RINSUI matcha.
05 Steaming
Fresh leaves are steamed shortly after harvest to preserve their vibrant color, delicate aroma, and fresh character before drying.
06 Final Milling
After careful processing, the selected tencha are milled into an exceptionally fine powder. This final step helps preserve the matcha’s vibrant color, delicate aroma, and signature smooth mouthfeel.
