Marukyu Koyamaen Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha [Japan] [Magus Brands] (Aorashi, 40G)

I purchased this product for AED 568, believing it was a premium ceremonial-grade matcha, only to find the same 40g tin later for under AED 135 dhs. The product itself is authentic but the price markup by the seller is unreasonable.

This Japanese matcha is a 10/10! The color is a vibrant green, the powder is very fine, and it mixes smoothly without clumps. The flavor is fresh and clean with a natural sweetness and no bitterness. It tastes high quality and authentic, and it’s great in lattes. I always recommend this brand to my friends and would definitely buy this again.

Sin palabras, desepcionada.

Absolutely love this matcha! The color is a vibrant green and the taste is smooth, fresh, and earthy—just how good matcha should be. It froths beautifully and works great for both lattes and traditional whisked tea. I’ve tried a few brands before, but this one definitely stands out in quality and value. Will definitely be reordering!

Strengths: This is an excellent everyday ceremonial matcha — smooth, fresh, and versatile. It’s a great entry point into high-quality Uji matcha without breaking the bank. Ideal For: Matcha lovers who want a reliable, well-balanced powder for daily use; people who like both traditional whisked matcha and latte-style matcha drinks. Not For: Those looking for super-competitive, ultra-luxury matcha with extremely deep umami or the strongest flavor punch. Overall Rating: 4.5 / 5 — very high quality for its price, and a solid choice whether you’re new to matcha or just want a dependable, premium-grade powder.

The Marukyu Koyamaen Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha has a lovely sweetness and smooth flavor that’s enjoyable to drink. It’s clear this is a high-quality matcha with a well-balanced taste that works well for traditional preparation or lattes. However, I did notice a slightly chalky texture, which was a bit unexpected
