Naoki Matcha Superior Blend Uji Matcha Powder 40g — Ceremonial-Grade, Smooth Latte-Ready

Naoki Matcha Superior Blend Matcha (40g) is a ceremonial-grade Uji matcha powder crafted for smooth, versatile preparation—ideal for tea, lattes, and recipes.

Harvested from shade-grown first-harvest tencha in Uji, Kyoto, this 40g tin delivers authentic Japanese matcha that’s stone-ground, sealed immediately after milling, and shipped fresh to the USA. The powder balances umami with a gentle hint of bitterness, making it approachable for newcomers while retaining the qualities expected of ceremonial-grade matcha.

How does this matcha perform for daily matcha tea and lattes?

Naoki Matcha Superior Blend is formulated to dissolve smoothly and produce a creamy, even froth for both traditional usucha (thin tea) and milk-based lattes. Its balanced flavor profile means the green tea character comes through without overpowering milk, sweeteners, or other ingredients.

• Use 1 teaspoon (≈2 g) per cup for usucha or a smaller scoop for stronger flavor.
• Shakes, whisks, or handheld frothers all yield consistent results.
• Works well hot or iced; mixes cleanly into milk, plant-based alternatives, and syrups.

What makes this matcha authentic and fresh?

The powder originates from Uji, a historic tea-producing region, and is made from first-harvest shade-grown leaves—practices associated with higher-quality matcha. The tencha is milled into powder in Japan and quickly sealed into air-tight packets so freshness is maintained until you open the tin.

• First-harvest (ichibancha) leaves for concentrated flavor and color.
• Stone-grinding in Japan preserves aroma and texture before sealing.
• Air-tight packaging minimizes oxidation during transit to the USA.

Will this matcha help me replace coffee or boost focus?

Naoki Matcha contains naturally occurring caffeine combined with L-theanine, an amino acid known to promote calm alertness. Many people prefer matcha for sustained focus without the rapid spike-and-crash effect associated with brewed coffee.

• Steady energy suitable for work or study sessions lasting several hours.
• L-theanine supports relaxation while keeping mental clarity.
• Gluten- and sugar-free, and rich in antioxidants compared to many flavored beverages.

How much product is included and how should I use it?

The tin contains 40g (1.4 oz) of matcha, which equals roughly 20 servings if you measure 2 grams per serving. Naoki Matcha includes guidance and recipe suggestions so you can prepare traditional tea, modern lattes, smoothies, and baking applications.

• Approximately 20 servings per 40g tin at 2 g per serving.
• Recommended tools: bamboo whisk, small sifter, or milk frother for best texture.
• Recipes and tips provided to help beginners and experienced users alike.

Who is this for: Naoki Matcha Superior Blend is designed for people who want authentic Uji ceremonial-grade matcha that’s approachable for beginners yet satisfying for experienced drinkers. It suits home baristas, matcha-latte lovers, recipe creators, and anyone seeking a gentler, longer-lasting caffeine alternative to coffee while enjoying genuine Japanese tea culture.
