Here are some tips

  • If you're new to matcha - start with either our Superior Ceremonial Blend or Organic Ceremonial Blend if you prefer an organic product. They are beginner-friendly blends that provide versatility and a great taste. These also work great for lattes!
  • If you've sample many different matcha, you may find that you have "outgrown" the beginner friendly blends.
  • For an enjoyable matcha tea, try our Fragrant Yame Blend. It's sweetness and smooth texture will make for a pleasing experience. If you are an advanced matcha enthusiast, do also consider try our Master's Collection matcha. Our favourite is the Masters Collection Chiran Harvest matcha.
  • If you intend to drink matcha as a caffeinated pick-me-up for sleepy afternoons, why not try it as a cold brew. That simply means cold water and matcha mixed together. All our blends work well for this, but our Fragrant Yame matcha provides the mildest, smoothest flavors.

Benefits of matcha

Matcha provides a focused, mellow energy boost without jitters or the crash you normally expect from coffee.

This is due to naturally present L-theanine (an amino acid) and caffeine in matcha.

Matcha is also high in antioxidants, with a greater concentration compared to regular green teas.

Understanding matcha

Why do we describe matcha as "blends"?

Matcha is made from shade-grown tea leaves that is milled into a fine powder. The final taste of matcha depends on a tea master who will select different tea leaves for their taste attributes.

The tea master “blends” these leaves together to accentuate certain flavors so that he can achieve a final result that the customer will find enjoyable.

  • The overall flavor objectives will vary by region.
  • The classical “Kyoto” style matcha prizes balance and umami.
  • In the south of Japan, many tea masters are known for producing lighter, sweeter matcha.
  • Between good matcha, there is no single “best” flavor. It is a matter of individual preference.
  • As the world learns to appreciate matcha, we expect more innovative flavour profiles to emerge.

Enjoy the classic frothy thin tea ("usucha") at home.

Use 1 tsp (2 grams) of matcha along with 3 oz of 170 degree F water.

Best made using a bamboo whisk.

If too you prefer it less strong, use 5 oz of water instead

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What makes Naoki Matcha different from other brands? We create blends with different tastes and preferences, each of our blends is developed to provide a unique flavor profile. For example, our Superior Blend has a very balanced, mellow flavor that's very beginner-friendly whereas our Fragrant Yame Blend has mild nutty notes and an incredibly smooth finish.

2. I only drink matcha with milk as a latte, which grade should I get? It depends how you make your lattes. However, we always recommend either the Superior Blend or First Spring Blend (Organic) to make great matcha lattes. By using an affordable ceremonial grade matcha, you do not need to add as much sweetener since it is much less bitter.

3. I’m worried about radiation and heavy metals. Do you test for radiation and heavy metals in your matcha? There is nothing to be worried about! We test each crop of matcha for various hazards, including radiation and heavy metal contamination. Satisfying these tests are required for our factories to maintain their food safety grading and licences needed to continue operations. The government of Japan also conducts its own separate radiation testing on all food products, and the results are consistently negative. The results are public information and is published in English on the website of the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

4. How is the caffeine in matcha different from coffee? Matcha provides a more measured, lasting energy boost. Matcha contains an amino acid called L-theanine. L-theanine is responsible for a calming effect which also slows the absorption of caffeine by the body, making the effects of coffee more gradual. Gram for gram, matcha has less caffeine than coffee.

5. How long can I keep my matcha for? If stored in an opaque, airtight container, matcha will remain fresh for about 12 months from the date it is ground. Once opened, we recommend consuming the matcha bag within 1-2 months. We also recommend storing your matcha in the fridge to maintain its freshness as long as possible.

6. What is the company’s policy for expiry dates? It depends but it is usually close to 6 months at least. We do our best to give you the freshest possible matcha by only doing small batch shipments direct from the tea estates. This is more costly for us but ensures that our stocks move quickly and provides the freshest matcha for you.

7. 40 grams or 1.4 ounces is TINY, how many servings? 40 grams easily provides 20 servings of 2 grams each. Pay attention to the serving size. We believe that 2 grams is just right to get enough matcha taste in your drink. Different brands define this differently. You may see a 30 gram matcha product offering "30 servings", but each serving is 1 gram.

8. Your packaging is beautiful! Where did you get it from? Thank you! We design it ourselves and it is inspired by the tea fields in Japan and the regional surroundings.

Delicious Umami, but Takes Practice
5 out of 5 stars
Delicious Umami, but Takes Practice
This matcha is absolutely delicious once you figure out what you’re doing. I’ve reduced my order on this to just a few times per year and mostly switched to Naomi’s All Purpose Culinary Grade Organic, simply because it’s CLOSE ENOUGH (but not as good as, and thus cheaper than) this Supreme matcha. Seriously, this stuff is heavenly, if a bit finicky.My method: heat 3Tbsp Dark Maple Syrup to hot-but-not-boiling in a small heatproof container, in the microwave; I put it in a small mug. Sift in 2tsp of this matcha and whisk briskly to combine; I use a frother that is turned OFF until the powder is wet before turning it on to whisk in any pockets of dry powder. Leave the hot slurry to sit for at least five minutes, up to a ten minutes. In my quart-size cup or jar, I put in ice and about 1.5 cups of whole milk. Gently mix a little milk into the matcha slurry to thin it out, making sure to get as much of the slurry off the bottom and sides of the container. Pour that matcha mixture into the milk and ice, and stir to combine. I top it off with whipped half-and-half, and enough milk to fill the quart. So good. If it’s too ‘grassy’ you probably need to adjust the heat of syrup OR just try adding less matcha (nah). Keep in mind that this high grade matcha can be easily over heated, over whisked, and/or over indulged; the learning curve is real.

I was out of matcha and since I'm going to Japan soon, I decided to buy Naoki to try out and to cope with my matcha crave for the time being.

A solid matcha powder, beautiful green color. It has a slight bitter taste in milk, and mild taste and little creamy. Depending on the milk you're using, the matcha flavor doesn't really stand out, and if you're using flavored syrups, you probably won't taste much matcha anymore. I used Chobani Oatmilk and the flavor stood out more than when I was using Califa Barista. I only use around 10 mil of simple syrup in my matcha since I do like to taste the tea bitterness.

As thin tea (Usucha), the bitterness stands out but it's still really cream. Less astringent, and your tongue won't be dry after drinking.

The company reached out to me offering a full refund - and I suggested a replacement - which they processed immediately. Received the Matcha yesterday - and it is really good - I drink it iced - mixes well with cold water - very satisfied!

This product arrived on time - however the packaging was damaged - a hole in the pouch - machta everywhere - and it's a bit messy- gets all over everything and is difficult to clean.... pretty expensive product to have it spilled all over the inside of the shipping container.
