Sayaka - 40g

This is my very first matcha ever attempting to try to make lattes at home, and this is very good so far!! I can see myself repurchasing. It’s not bitter at all and smooth, I wish it had a slightly stronger matcha flavor but the service to the quality of the matcha power to the packaging was so nice!!! I’ve already recommended this product to a few of my friends!

I am in love with this matcha. While I find most other matchas most palatable in lattes, this one is excellent made with just water. In fact, it has ruined $6 cafe matcha lattes for me, as none of them approach this quality (no loss there!). Wirecutter introduced me to this matcha and I have no regrets. It is a glorious green, mildly earthy but not the slightest bit bitter, and makes my afternoons a hundred times better.

I love my coffee lattes, but i was so tired of the energy crashes and jitters from the coffee. I thought it may take me some time to still lean off of coffee when i started making matcha lattes instead but wow! Few things: 1. This blend has a very smooth and amazing taste for lattes. I actually followed the instructions for using a strainer and paying attention to the water not being boiling hot and it does not clump. For now i used a frother because i dont have the whisk yet but as long as i strain it first it does not clump regardless of how long the latte is sitting 2. In the past i had tried the Ummon blend, but i love this one more for lattes. That being said i don’t think i was making it in the best way before but i do like the taste of this one a lot 3. Lastly, i used to have 1 serving of espresso so i tried putting 2tsp (1.5 serving of matcha) and i had no energy crash yet had a continued boost of energy, no jitters, and no sleep disruptions. I was very surprised i thought i was going to taken some time but it was all about getting high quality matcha and using the pepper serving! 4. I use the califa farms barista blend oatmilk and i also add honey after frothing but before adding the ice and milk :) Overall 100/100. Also, shipping is very fast and i really appreciate the recipes that were emailed. Im a fan!!

Amazing, beautiful color, tastes phenomenal. I love how it’s already sweet so I don’t need to sweeten it too much. I’m quickly running out and I’m definitely gonna restock this asap not the best pic but I was eager to drink it hehe

smooth and good for beginners

I’ve been using Ippodo matcha for the past year, and it has completely transformed my daily tea ritual. I drink it every single day, and the quality has been consistently excellent. Most recently, I bought two tins of Sayaka, and I’ve also enjoyed Ummon. Ummon is a bit lighter in flavor but still incredibly smooth with a clean, pleasant aftertaste. That’s one of the biggest reasons I stay loyal to Ippodo—the flavor is rich and smooth from start to finish, without the bitter or latex-like aftertaste I’ve experienced with other brands (even at tea shops). Ippodo’s matcha is so good, I’ve started sharing it with others. I just ordered two more tins—one for a friend and one for my sister, and they both love it as much as I do! If you’re looking for truly high-quality matcha that’s consistent, smooth, and enjoyable every time, Ippodo is the one.

Smooth, slightly vegetal/bitter but in the way that you want, very naturally sweet and creamy when incorporated into a latte — perfect for something not too strong but one to always go back to

The local store I buy matcha powder from has had trouble keeping up with demand so I haven't been able to buy from them. I bought this because it was in stock and ready to ship on recommendation from Reddit. The rich, umami flavor and the vibrant dark green color made this the best cup I've had at home for sure! Looking forward to ordering more varieties from Ippodo.

Sayaka Matcha is smooth, vibrant, and super high quality. You can taste the difference, definitely a new favorite!

on a hunt for my favorite matcha. this is def top 5
