4 reviews for Uji Hikari Matcha, Uji Hikari Cultivar, Ceremonial Grade

  1. Sci-Fi

    This matcha tastes lovely! It’s a beautiful green color and smells fresh. I accidentally got some on my finger while opening, and was shocked at how delicious it was on its own! The matcha is smooth on the palate and has a soft sweetness that perfectly complements its subtle bitterness.

    I usually prefer my matcha simple, perhaps with a touch of honey, but this variety from Uji, Japan, needs absolutely nothing added to experience its full flavor and delight.

    I’ll definitely be buying from this shop again when I finish this bag. Highly recommend! (And the packaging is cute – I love the little shark.)

  2. Mr.Camel

    This matcha powder receives high praise from my Japanese family members, who consider it one of the best. My daughters and wife are particularly pleased with its quality. Having experienced issues with other products, including “fake Uji matcha” that caused illness, we can confidently say this is real Uji matcha. It yields great results in oatly matcha lattes, making them very flavorful and creamy. Highly recommended!

  3. Stephanie

    This matcha stands out as much better priced and higher quality than many other products found online. It truly checked all the boxes for me: it’s from Uji, the most established region for matcha production, made with Hikari, one of the best and most versatile cultivars, and boasts a vibrant color. I’m thoroughly enjoying it both as usucha and in lattes, and I will definitely be ordering it again.

  4. Lucas

    This matcha is vibrant green and perfectly balanced—earthy yet subtly sweet. It whisked beautifully for traditional tea preparation and blended seamlessly into lattes.
