    Customer photo review of Kagoshima Ceremonial Matcha Latte Blend

    Working from home means I could easily make coffee all day. Instead, I've somehow created a little matcha break around lunchtime. It's probably my favourite part of the workday.

    Customer photo review of Kagoshima Ceremonial Matcha Latte Blend

    I was spending way too much on matcha lattes. I started making them at home with Iki and now my morning matcha is actually better than most of the ones I was buying.

    Customer photo review of Kagoshima Ceremonial Matcha First Harvest

    I've tried matcha before and never understood the hype. This was completely different. Smooth, creamy and not overly bitter. I finally understood why people are so particular about good matcha.

    Customer photo review of Kagoshima Ceremonial Matcha First Harvest

    I originally bought this because I was trying to cut back on coffee. I honestly didn't expect matcha to replace my morning coffee, but now I actually look forward to making it. I get that little ritual in the morning without feeling like I need another coffee two hours later.

    I love the taste and would recommend Iki Matcha products to anyone who enjoys a delicious tasting tea. I add almond milk for a creamy taste.

    Kagoshima Ceremonial Matcha First Harvest

    I was a bit hesitant to buy matcha powder online and honestly quite skeptical but I am so glad I gave it a try! The delivery was surprisingly fast, and the matcha itself exceeded all my expectations. So creamy, smooth and genuinely delicious.

    I travel a lot for work. This kit have been a absolute essential on my trips.

    10 Piece Matcha Ritual Kit

    Best organic matcha I’ve found as someone who cares about organic sourcing, this matcha checks all the boxes. It’s bright green, finely milled, and strong in flavour without being harsh. It makes the perfect latte and tastes great just whisked with water. Worth every cent for the quality.

    Kagoshima Ceremonial Matcha First Harvest

    I’m honestly not a fan of matcha but I do really like it! The taste was subtle and came through nicely after! Was an instant hit with my customers.

    Pure Organic Culinary Matcha Powder

    For me it’s perfect, it’s not subtle and you can ACTUALLY taste the matcha! And I like how a little bit goes a long way too for the flavour, I used to have to use multiple tspns for the matcha flavour and colour to really shine, but yours doesn’t need much which is so much better!

    Pure Organic Culinary Matcha Powder

    I am replacing my first drink of the day with macha before hitting the coffee a bit later. Supposedly a healthier and calmer way to start the day by avoiding interfering with the natural morning cortisol levels that are already high. I am not experienced with macha but enjoying this product.

    Jody G. 5/5 Verified

    Kagoshima Ceremonial Matcha First Harvest

    THE BEST!! I have purchased many matcha brands in search for the rich taste that I have had at Japanese shops. This matcha has been the best by far. This is crazy good, and is the best matcha I have ever had, and will be my staple for quite some time.

    Rebecca G. 5/5 Verified

    Kagoshima Ceremonial Matcha First Harvest

    Best matcha powder—I’ve spent a lot of money on good quality matcha in the past but this has to be the best matcha I’ve had. I’m never buying matcha from anywhere else again.

    Victor H. 5/5 Verified

    Kagoshima Ceremonial Matcha First Harvest

    INCREDIBLE—By far my favorite matcha. It’s so much more complex in flavor than any other matcha I’ve tried that’s sustainably grown. Floral, Sweet, and definitely the smoothest matcha I’ve ever had. THANK YOU

    I have tried a few different matcha brands over the past 2-3 years, but this one is the best value for money. It's great for daily drinks.

    On my second order now, and so far I’m really enjoying the matcha, I think it’s helping with longer-term energy and focus. But yeah, very much enjoying it mid-morning as a pick-me-up.

    Amy R. 5/5 Verified

    Absolutely love this matcha! I have tried so many different makes, and this is by far the best one. As a personal trainer, fitness instructor and a mum, this really helps me get through my busy schedule!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • The Starter Kit includes a bamboo matcha whisk (chasen), bamboo matcha scoop (chashaku), and a bag of first-harvest Kagoshima ceremonial matcha. It covers the essential tools you need to make your first proper bowl of matcha at home.

    • The Starter Kit includes the three essentials — whisk, scoop and matcha. The 10 Piece Ritual Kit adds a ceramic bowl, whisk holder, sifter, canister and additional accessories. If you already own a wide bowl or want to start with just the basics, the Starter Kit is the right choice.

    • Yes — it is designed for exactly that. The bamboo whisk and scoop are the two tools you genuinely need (a fork or regular spoon will not produce the same result), and the included matcha is ceremonial grade so their first experience will be smooth and sweet, not bitter.

    • You can start with any wide, shallow bowl or large cup — the important thing is that it gives the whisk room to move in a W-motion. A narrow coffee mug will restrict the prongs and produce poor foam. If you enjoy the ritual and want the proper tool, a ceramic chawan is included in the 10 Piece Ritual Kit or available separately.

    • The kit includes our first-harvest Kagoshima Ceremonial Matcha — JAS-certified organic, stone-ground and lab-tested. It is the same product we sell individually, not a lower grade or sample.

    • Yes — it is a popular gift choice because it gives the recipient everything they need to get started without overwhelming them with accessories. It arrives in presentation packaging and pairs well with a matcha canister or matcha bowl as an add-on.

    • Scoop two chashaku scoops of matcha (roughly 1g) into a wide bowl. Add 60–80ml of hot water (80°C — not boiling). Whisk briskly in a W-motion for 15–20 seconds until a fine foam forms. Full temperatures, ratios and technique tips are in our how to make matcha guide.

    • With daily use and proper care (rinse after each use, dry upright or on a holder), the bamboo whisk typically lasts 2–4 months. Replacement whisks are available individually in our matcha accessories collection.
