Akira Matcha

I grew up in Japan drinking matcha regularly, so I’m very picky when it comes to quality. Good matcha can be extremely pricy, and I’ve been on the hunt for something that balances authenticity, flavor, and affordability. This Matcha hits that sweet spot for me. It’s organic, ceremonial grade, and—most importantly for me—sourced from Uji, Kyoto, the region known for producing some of the best matcha in Japan. The color is a beautiful, bright green and the texture is smooth and silky. The taste is rich but not bitter, with that natural sweetness I expect from true ceremonial matcha. For the mid-range price, the quality is honestly impressive. I can enjoy my daily matcha ritual here in the States without feeling like I’m overspending. I’ve repurchased several times already and plan to keep this as my go-to matcha. Highly recommend to fellow matcha lovers who want authentic flavor without breaking the bank.

I can’t say enough good things about the Akira Organic Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha! 🌱 This matcha is truly a standout product and has quickly become my go-to for making green tea lattes. The quality is impeccable—it’s made from high-grade ceremonial matcha, which you can tell immediately from the vibrant, rich green color and the smooth, earthy aroma when you open the container. When I make my lattes, the flavor is perfectly balanced: rich, creamy, and packed with that signature umami taste that premium matcha is known for. It blends beautifully, whether I whisk it traditionally or use it in my milk frother. The result is always a latte that tastes indulgent and feels energizing, all while being a healthier alternative to other drinks. I also love that it’s 100% organic and free from fillers, sugar, or preservatives. Knowing it’s sourced directly from Uji, Kyoto, adds to my confidence in the product’s authenticity and freshness. The meticulous care that goes into shade-growing and stone-grinding the tea leaves really shines through in the flavor and texture. This matcha is an absolute delight, whether you’re a seasoned matcha enthusiast or just starting your journey into matcha. If you’re looking for a high-quality, authentic ceremonial-grade matcha, Akira is definitely the one to try. I highly recommend it and will continue to purchase it again and again! 🥰

Matcha Snob Approved. If you’re looking for a ceremonial grade matcha at a daily-use price, Matcha Konomi is it. I’ve been buying this matcha on Subscribe and Save for years. The color is a gorgeous spring pea, the taste is rich, fresh, and never bitter. I use a strainer to ensure any static electricity clumps aren’t an issue. I use an electric whisk with the hot water because it gets the match more frothy than a bamboo whisk. I’ve also added the matcha straight to a bottle of chocolate Fairlife for a protein matcha latte. Clean, focused energy. (The sellers send a piece of cute origami washi paper in each order. I’ve recently begun making fridge magnets with the paper. See picture.)

Really loving Matcha Konomi. It’s smooth, creamy, and not bitter at all. The flavor is rich and earthy with a natural sweetness, and the color is such a bright green you can tell it’s good quality. It blends easily and gives clean energy without the jitters. Definitely a new favorite. 🍵

Color: Is a very vibrant green. Grind/powder: This matcha is amazing, this has been the only matcha I have purchased that there is no need to sieve prior to use, its pointless to do so. Froth: Easy to build a nice thick froth, and it sticks around, providing you don't use too much water. Taste: I find the taste to be nice, I make mine with ~3.5oz of water to the 1g of matcha powder. Yes I weigh it out the first week or so to get a feel for what it looks like. Due to this matcha being so finely ground it looks like your adding quite a bit of powder. Hence the scale. It has a very pleasant grassy/earthy thing going on, its not as "strong" flavored as others I have tried but I would say the flavor is more pleasant. I have noticed that letting the prepared matcha sit for any length of time results in the matcha falling out of suspension. I'm left with a bowl of lightly flavored water on top of a thick matcha pool at the bottom. Simple enough to resolve with a quick stir if I have let it standing and easier to prevent by preparing and promptly consuming. I also have to note the packaging, the tins are nicely sealed. The cover is easy to open/close and has a good seal, even after opening the foil. There is no package of desiccant mulling about in there either, just matcha. I'm looking forward to trying the Amaya next time.

Akira Matcha powder exceeded my expectations. The flavor is wonderfully rich and earthy with no harsh bitterness, making it perfect for daily lattes and tea. The powder has a vibrant green color that signals freshness and good quality. The container size offers a very reasonable amount of product for the price, and I feel I’m getting excellent value for a ceremonial-style matcha at home. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality matcha powder.

I look forward to my morning because I wake up with Akita Matcha. I love the quality and certainty the taste! I am a huge fan. I will continue to purchase from you. 🤍

I've been purchasing and enjoying Akira Matcha for over eight years. A Matcha Latte is my breakfast each morning. It fuels me till lunch. No other brand I've tried either at home or ordering out when traveling compares to its' smooth, mellow, fresh flavor and gentle but long lasting energy boost. Although not inexpensive, in my opinion it is the best value in class of organic premium matcha. I am never without it and always pack it when traveling. As a hobby painter, I look forward the gorgeous washi paper that arrives with each purchase - so many creative uses. Akira Matcha is a staple in my household that I am never without!

Se nota que si es primer cosecha, faltaría ver si la calidad de la planta es top, ya que he probado otros matcha ceremoniales que si marcan la diferencia. Sin embargo por este precio y con entrega en México, sin recurrir a Amazon de EEUU es un producto difícil de superar en calidad vs precio. ¡¡Se agradece el papel de Origami para hacer alguna figura!!

Textura, color, sabor, facilidad de preparación, buenos resultados en salud. Totalmente recomendable.

de gran calidad

Tiene un color muy verde y a lo que tengo entendido el color verde verde es que es original y de calida, todavia no lo pruebo ya veremos a que sabe

Es bueno pero si muy poquito producto para el costo.
