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've been incredibly impressed with the quality of Akira Matcha from Matcha Konomi. This organic matcha is smooth, vibrant, and has a wonderfully fresh aroma that speaks to its quality. Whether I'm preparing it traditionally or using it in lattes, it mixes easily with no clumps and delivers a clean, pleasant flavor that isn't bitter or overpowering. What really stands out is how versatile and user-friendly it is. I’ve used it both on its own and as an addition to smoothies and beverages, and it always blends beautifully without the need for fancy tools. The taste is consistently excellent, with a natural sweetness and depth that makes it enjoyable for both new and experienced matcha drinkers. For the quality you get, it’s a great value. Matcha Konomi also offers a variety of other matcha options for drinking and baking, which I’m excited to try next. If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality matcha to incorporate into your daily routine or culinary creations, Akira Matcha is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it!

For the past 13 years, I’ve been a daily matcha drinker. I had a couple of bad reactions to drinking coffee prior to that, so I was determined to find a suitable alternative. I’ve tried dozens of brands over the years. Akira matcha checks all the boxes with its consistent quality, bright green color, depth of aroma and flavor, and value for the product received. My new bag was delivered yesterday and I noticed it’s already out of stock again.

I recently tried this certified filler-free matcha tea and I must say, it’s a genuine gem for tea lovers! After doing thorough research on the ingredients, I was pleased to find that this matcha stands true to its promise of purity, with no fillers whatsoever. The taste is fantastic—rich and vibrant, just how quality matcha should be. It has a smooth texture that blends beautifully, whether you enjoy it whisked in hot water or as a part of a creamy matcha latte. My daughter, who is also quite selective about her matcha, tried it and was equally impressed by its superior taste. For anyone looking to enjoy the authentic flavor of matcha, this product is definitely worth trying. Not only does it offer health benefits, but it also brings the genuine matcha experience right to your cup. Highly recommended!

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! 🥰

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.

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

El sabor se siente rebajado a mi parecer por las porciones sugeridas al fabricante tuve que usar el doble para tener un sabor habitual de varias veces pero una vez ajustando cantidad es un matcha aceptable
