Dr. Weil Matcha Kari - Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder - 30 grams - Japanese Barista Grade

Organic Barista Ceremonial: This is a really great matcha. I was concerned "barista grade" may not be as good as ceremonial grade, but I decided to try it anyway because it's about $11 cheaper (and it's still a ceremonial grade vs culinary). This matcha has a nice bright green color, and it smells very fresh and springy. I used 1/2 a teaspoon, and I would say a little goes a long way in flavor with this one. It's strong, fresh, bright and mildly bitter. It also is very smooth and blends really well - no residue or matcha bits floating in the bottom of the cup. I've followed Dr. Weil for a long time, and as the "Father of Integrative Medicine," I trust him to make a good product. It's lab screened which is important to me as well, and I think it's fairly priced - esp compared to the $60 brand that a lot of influencers have jumped on which has 2 less servings. Definitely recommend!

The matcha color is vibrant and a green i've never seen before. Compared to the cheaper Matcha's I have tried, this one just blew me away. There was no residue at the bottom of my cup, and no bitterness in taste to dry out my tongue. It seems pricey at first, but 30 grams for $18.99 is a solid deal and 100 grams for $44.99 is even better. You can't really beat the quality for that price. This is the perfect starter "Ceremonial Grade" for those somewhat new to Matcha like me. If this is Matcha Kari's middle of the line product, then I can't imagine the quality of their top shelf product. I would recommend this Matcha to someone with any level of expertise and I would definitely purchase again.

Best tasting matcha ever! Love it!

I've been a matcha enthusiast for quite some time, and Dr. Weil Matcha Kari's Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder has quickly become one of my favorites. This Japanese Barista Grade matcha offers an authentic and enjoyable experience, ideal for both traditional preparation and modern recipes. The first thing that struck me was the vibrant green color of the powder, which is a good indicator of its quality. Upon opening the tin, the fresh, grassy aroma was inviting and promised a delightful matcha experience. When I whisked it into hot water, it produced a beautiful, frothy bowl of tea with a rich, deep flavor that had the perfect balance of umami and slight natural sweetness. One of the standout features of this matcha is its smooth texture. There's no grittiness, and it blends seamlessly into water or milk. This makes it versatile for various uses, whether I'm making a traditional bowl of matcha, a matcha latte, or incorporating it into desserts and smoothies. The fact that it's organic and sourced from Japan reassures me about its authenticity and purity. Knowing that I'm consuming a product that adheres to strict farming and production standards is important for my peace of mind and health. That said, there are a couple of areas where it could improve. The price is on the higher end, which might be a consideration for those new to matcha or on a budget. Additionally, the tin could be larger, as 30 grams can go quickly if you're a regular matcha drinker like me. Overall, Dr. Weil Matcha Kari's Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder delivers a high-quality matcha experience with its vibrant color, smooth texture, and authentic taste. It's a bit of an investment, but for those who appreciate good matcha, it's definitely worth it.

We loved

We’ve tried many and this brand is hands down the best. A little more expensive but worth it. We’ve wasted money on cheaper brands.

My favorite Matcha tea and responsibly sourced!

Not great. Taste like a low quality ceremonial blend. I purchased this before and looked brighter green and tasted better. The price went up and the quality went down... Perhaps I just didn't get a great batch?? The picture on the right is the new can that I purchased. The last one was much better.
