About "Ceremonial" Grade

You’ve probably heard the term “ceremonial grade”, but the real difference comes down to the harvest. Emperor’s Matcha is a pure first harvest matcha, made from the youngest spring leaves when flavor is at its brightest. First harvest is one of the clearest signs of quality, giving you that vibrant green color, natural sweetness, and smooth, balanced taste.

Matcha addict here

I’ve been on a serious matcha kick lately and the Sencha matcha is a gem! It’s vibrant, froths well, and in a latte, I honestly can’t tell the difference from more expensive brands. Unless you’re drinking it straight with water but even then it's better than some of the popular brands imo.

I make my lattes with a little oat milk and a touch of agave—so good. The quality is definitely there, and it’s super affordable. I couldn’t find it in Costco again, but a friend tipped me off that it’s available online. I grabbed two bags and I’m already almost through one (been converting my friends too!). The other one is in the freezer but gonna grab more before this brand blows up more.

I rarely write reviews, but this one’s underrated and totally worth it.

On my 2nd tin ❤️

Coffee was my passion until one morning it just wasn’t doing it for me anymore. After reading reviews and doing some research, I ordered my first Sencha Matcha tin and I was in love! The green is so vivid! I wasn’t sure when is the best time to add honey. It’s hard to mix in when I add it to cold oat milk so I’ve been adding it to the matcha after I whisk it. I add vanilla, cinnamon, and honey which is why the matcha is a little darker in the video. I love the benefits of matcha. I’m one who can fall asleep after drinking coffee so I can’t really say anything about the effects of the caffeine in the matcha but I know that I feel alert but calm.

Very smooth

This Sencha Naturals Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder is a nice shade of green. The one I got comes in a tin that says 100% ceremonial grade, and it tastes like a high quality ceremonial grade to me. The flavor is smooth and not at all bitter. I like a little milk and sweetener, but I really didn't need it for this one as it has a touch of sweetness.

It is Japanese, first harvest and USDA-Certified which are all good things that I consider when buying matcha. The only thing I don't see mentioned is whether or not it is shade grown. I thought it might be from what I found on the brand website, but I wasn't sure so I asked the brand. Here's the reply I got: "Yes, the plants are shaded to slow down growth and increase chlorophyll levels. This step is key as it enhances the green color and flavor of the leaves."

I skipped sifting it, and it mixed well with a handheld milk frother but I do recommend sifting to avoid clumping. That's actually a sign of high quality, and this is a really nice matcha. Recommend.

Deep flavor and color

This SENCHA ceremonial matcha makes great cold drinks at home.
The flavor is stronger than some other brands so makes a great base for matcha drinks.
The color is deep green indicating more flavor and a better looking drink overall.

High-Quality Matcha at a Great Price

This matcha powder has a delightful aroma and depth, reflecting its high quality. Despite the premium grade, it’s reasonably priced. The smooth and creamy texture makes it perfect for traditional tea preparation or blending into various drinks. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a top-notch matcha experience.

A Great Matcha Option for Daily Teas! 😎

It's difficult finding an affordable daily option for a ceremonial grade matcha that I can use for a daily tea for maximum health benefits. Most matcha is either priced for special occasions, or we find the opposite problem with low quality options relegated to "latte land."

The quality in Emperor's Matcha is apparent before taking a sip, with its more vibrant green & foamy top. The depth & flavor is among the best I've ever had, with subtle earthy hints of dark chocolate & vanilla notes.

The icing on the cake, (or foam on the matcha as the case may be,) is the fact that Emperor's is available in a 75 gram bulk bag! The staff is super nice and helpful too. (Please consider a 2-pack option for further bulk savings!)

Excellent Matcha - highest grade

I have ordered this Matcha from a company in Japan for years for a much higher price. I've compared your Matcha with that from Japan. Sencha Matcha is equal with the exception of you having a much lower price. I plan to continue my orders with Sencha naturals. Not only is the taste equal/superior, but I get it much quicker and the cost is lower. I'm glad I found you. Thank you for having this grade of Matcha.

Okay, not great

Tastes ok. This blend is different from the old product that was 100% organic ceremonial. Tastes more bitter and grassy now. Not bad in lattes, but still has a bit of a bite.

Tastes great, the price is unbeatable

I was slightly scared to purchase this product since it's significantly cheaper than the big companies and it seems less popular, so I didn't know if I would get a bad quality product. I've heard about the past matcha that this brand used to sell, and it was a culinary grade, so it didn't seem great as a quality matcha choice. Upon receiving this product, however, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was bright green, and the smell was great.

I made my normal matcha, and I'll say that the taste is very similar to Okumidori: smooth, a little earthy and nutty, and somewhat bold. I've only had one matcha from Ippodo Tea, the Sayaka matcha, and I can say that the Emperor's Matcha tastes stronger and better than the Sayaka. This is very nice since the price is MUCH better than what you'll see elsewhere. Beware, however, since it seems that the popularity is spiking and deliveries will take longer, and the prices may go up.

I will continue to purchase this product normally, but see if you can find this at Costco first (the tin, not the bag!) since you'll get two tins for the price of one, which is insane. That's 60g for $20!

Yum! For the price its not bad. I wish I could get my hands on the costco version. Two for the price of one! I’m not a matcha expert by any means, but this matcha is very bright, slightly astingent, and is naturally sweet. I highly recommend for anyone new to getting into matcha as its a lot more accessible than strictly Japanese brands.

newbie matcha fanatic, but this is so good!

i'm a newbie matcha maker, but i can definitely tell the difference between good/bad quality matcha, and this one is great! i was able to snag some at costco when they had it, should've bought more!

Kind of blah

I probably should have paid attention to the fact that so many of the positive reviews were sponsored... Definitely could have been worse given the low price but I will not be buying again. The matcha is grassy, kind of bitter and astringent. I made it into a latte with plenty of agave and coconut milk but it still wasn't good.

Excellent Matcha

I have been getting ceremonial grade Matcha directly from a company in Japan for a few years now. This has been costly, plus it shipped at a higher rate than from here in the US. I decided to try Sencha ceremonial grade Matcha recently (same grade as I was getting from Japan) I was happily surprised as it was superior in taste and texture to the Japan company's tea. I love it. Cost is lower. Shipping is lower. This Matcha tastes better and foams better. .It's smoother and no tinge of bitterness. I drink it with milk and a touch of sugar both hot and cold. Wonderful. I will continue to order from Sencha Naturals as the pluses for their tea outranks those I have been getting from Japan. I also got some of the mints which are good and I unfortunately ate them too quickly. Thank you Sencha Naturals!!!

Well-rounded, tasty matcha! I loved it!

I got this on a recommendation and I was not disappointed! I think it may not be as “robust” tasting as other brands of matcha necessarily, but it is extremely smooth, no bitter after taste and really yummy! I only used it for lattes in my case (typically iced with whole milk for reference) and it tasted amazing. I did notice that I felt really calm, alert, but also energized ??? While drinking this consistently. And no jitters like I get with coffee. The color is not necessarily as “vibrant” as some other brands but I don’t feel that took away from the quality whatsoever!! I went through this extremely quickly, but I did have 1-2 lattes a day, 1 tsp each for about a 3 1/2 weeks. It’s definitely cheaper than buying at a shop everyday, and much better quality! I will definitely be repurchasing, I really enjoyed everything about this and I recommend to try it at least once : )note: I use hot water + a bamboo whisk to make my matcha. That method worked for me and I really enjoyed the flavor it yielded!

Good quality Matcha tea

Nice strong green tea perfect for enjoying hot or cold. The 1oz tin contains about 20 servings without being too caffeinated. The powder easily blends into a smooth paste with water, dissolving completely without residue. The tea has a natural sweetness, and can also be used to make lattes. It is USDA Certified Organic and has a good shelf-life. Very happy with the quality and taste. Highly recommend :)

Smooth tasting matcha

Ceremonial matcha is what I hold up to a high judging standard and this matcha powder meets my expectations for a good quality ceremonial grade matcha. The color is bright green, which is a recognizable visual aspect of ceremonial grade matcha. When whisking with a chasen, the matcha powder mixed smoothly without any clumps and created a nice froth.

The taste was slightly sweet, with a hint of umami. The bitterness is very minimal and goes down very easily. Knowing this is USDA-certified organic, I feel good that I am consuming a product that is free of harmful pesticides.

Great matcha

This is legit matcha. It's very bright green and tastes great. There's very minimal if any bitterness which is what you want in a quality matcha.

The current price is $19.95 for 1 oz. That's is expensive, but also I believe it is the right price for the grade of matcha that it is.

High Quality

This is a small tin of ceremonial grade matcha powder but the contents are high quality. The powder is fine and the green is very deep and appealing. The taste is excellent.
