Master’s Collection Matcha

The Chiran harvest powder is beautifully vibrant, creates a pleasant microfoam and leans far from bitterness (a plus for me), with a notable creamy umami flavor! It is a great everyday matcha for a reasonable price point :)

I suffer from both a matcha addiction and decision paralysis...After lots of sifting through tiktok and reddit (specifically for nutty blends,) this one came highly recommended. I am by no means a purist, I just love a nice nutty flavor for my daily lattes. I have to say this one is delicious! It tastes like toasty pistachios, and pairs very well with vanilla and ube. I didn't find it to be bitter, it was creamy/ foamed up nicely, and the color is very rich. I think this brands overall pricing is fair , for a notable step up from store bought matcha. It is also a big plus that it's readily available on here! I would definitely use it as my daily matcha :)

Super green, super flavorful, amazing matcha overall 10/10 from a matcha snob

"This matcha is incredibly easy to drink and perfect for those who prefer a mild flavor profile. While the tea taste is a bit subtle, the color after brewing is a vibrant, beautiful green. It’s very smooth with no bitterness at all. Considering the price, the quality is quite acceptable and worth it for a daily tea."

2 WEEKS AFTER REVIEW. PICTURES left can is yame fragrance collection, center is new Chiran masters collection from Naoki directly, right amazon ordered Chiran masters collection muddy color matcha is my first purchase from amazon, the vibrant color match is the same product shipped directly from NAOKI. So here is the low down, I ordered this Naoki ceremonial grade master collection single harvest matcha. To my disappointment what was sent to me from amazon was this terrible matcha that screamed cheap culinary grade being sold as premium new age matcha. The color was dull and brownish that looked like dirt to me. It even felt gritty to finger. My first cup had the sensation of chalk or baking flower in my mouth . The flavor was decent and not bitter but it had a dead taste with no vibrance. It did froth rather well though. In general I was not happy with this matcha and would return if I could. It is the worst matcha I have ever come across and I don’t consider this ceremonial grade, I want to toss it in the trash but don’t want to waste $34+ READ this!!! I email this company with my complaints, they responded within 72 hours and assured me that what I recieved was a mistake and that they wanted to make it right. The took my information and within 1 week they sent me a new container with a second variety to try. Thank you Naiki for the gift! With excitement and anticipation I opened the new can and to my surprise what was inside was a completely different product. It resembled all the other photos and reviews I have read. The color and smell were both vibrant and rich as you would expect from a ceremonial grade matcha. This match froths very well and when you do a smear test you can barely tell its not stone ground. (the manufacture verified its not stone ground) It feels smooth to touch and sticks to everything just like stone ground matcha. My first sip I notice it was smooth and creamy in texture, the flavor was rich and had the umami you would expect from a premium Matcha. And to my biggest surprise was the sweetness that you get. So what I received from Amazon was trash but this company does produce a great product and would recommend you try this product because even if amazon is at fault for damaging the matcha this company will make it right !!! FYI the fragrance yame is good too! just one notch down from this masters collection! Happy buying, give them a try, Ill be back for a second take !

Smooth taste. Will buy again.

Best Matcha I’ve tried so far!

It's reasonably priced, and it's definitely matcha. It smells, tastes, and foams up like matcha when whisked. I love the vivid green color that shows it was dried with care and while fresh. Compared to matcha I used to get directly from Japan, however, it falls short. When you smell, there's no sweetness, can't taste those notes either, there's no interesting bouquet, it's just a basic matcha. Personally, I'll just finish the container by adding a spoonful of it to my protein shake. I believe that it is matcha and has matcha's health benefits. It's just not good enough for me to bother drinking it neat in the traditional manner. Don't get me wrong, it holds up as a drinking matcha, but for within the family. I would not serve it to company. Hate to be a snob but this is matcha, you should know what you're getting.
