Legend Organic Premium Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder

I have tried many different brands of matcha and legend organic is definitely one of the best I’ve tried.

First of all not all ceremonial grade matcha are created equal. Matcha from Japan seem to have the best quality and taste.  Of course legend organic happens to get their matcha from Japan.

The color is bright green. Smell is fresh and strong. Taste is smooth and very slightly bitter from the powder form.

There are several grades of ceremonial matcha and this info seem to be alien to most people. 

Most people would know the two basic grades which are cooking and ceremonial grade. However there are imperial, emerald, gold and etc. Some are labeled as premium.

It’s actually difficult to differentiate the grades because of slight variations.

I’d say that legend organic is better if not equal to Midori spring’s gold class. I actually would prefer legend organic over Midori spring gold class because it tastes better and is stronger. Not stringy at all.

Consistency is smooth and taste great when mix it in my own drink.

             Thank you Lian for shipping The Jun Nippon Matcha directly to me.

The packaging was simple and efficient which I always come to appreciate. 

I am very sensitive and picky when it comes to matcha because every little detail count matters to me;

 The color, scent, texture and taste.

Jun Nippon Matcha hit almost a perfect sore of all of the above.

-          The color of the Matcha was of a bright spring green which I rate it 5 out of 5

-          The scent was a light earthy green tea which received a 5 out of 5

-          The texture is very smooth and little to no clumps 5 out of 5 (thanks to the packaging as well).

-          The taste is definitely very green and smooth. Sweet at first sip. After taste was slightly bitter. However comparing it to the other ceremonial matcha that I’ve tested it is a slightly lower quality. Therefore I gave it a 4 out of 5.

I’ve tried drinking the matcha as it is and I’ve also mixed it with yogurt which tastes amazing.

A sifter helped out a lot so it’s very necessary. The best way to get rid of clumps is with a sifter AND adding the hot water little by little as you mix in the cup or bowl. You should not just pour all the hot water in at once because that would form clumps.

I also did the same with the yogurt. I used organic whole milk yogurt (unsweetened) because it is healthy and has a very thick and creamy texture. I find that the only kind of yogurt fit for this high quality matcha. I used about 5 table spoon of the yogurt and 2 teaspoon of matcha. I sprinkled a little amount of the matcha on top of the yogurt and mix and a little more and repeat. The result is a light creamy green yogurt treat. You can add a little bit of honey and mix well.

You can consume the yogurt OR it can also be used for a face mask. Since matcha is anti-inflammatory, high in antioxidant and full of nutrient it is perfect for treating acne. It will also give the face a natural glow.

Just arrived in mail today and I was surprise at how small it was but no doubt it is the best tasting green tea matcha I've ever had.

I was careful with lifting the seal so that the powder doesn’t jump out on me. There was a poof of mystery that came out like steam and the scent was very mild and nice. Although there are some clumps but I've got no problem with that. Since I don't have the bamboo stuff I just put a teaspoon of the powder in my cup then add the boiling water. Then I started to mix it like crazy o.o

The clumps were kind of annoying since I don't have a whisk but mixing the powder like crazy for two minutes the color was in the water, bubbles were on top and ready for drinking. I took a little sip just to get an idea how it taste like. It does taste very green but it's different from green tea leaves that I drink. I never had green tea powder so I can't really compare it to anything except the leaves. The powder is not bitter at all like the leaves so I would prefer that. Not exactly sweet either but just green. I drank it all in a range of 10 minutes because I keep trying to come up with some words to describe it but I couldn't. I like this tea and  will slowly enjoy it in peace n_n
