About this item

  • CEREMONIAL GRADE QUALITY - This is the highest grade matcha tea available. Only the youngest, greenest, and most delicate leaves are chosen to enhance the natural sweetness of the tea. There is no bitterness and no traces of stems or leaves— just light, soft tea powder that froths easily.
  • DELICIOUS COFFEE ALTERNATIVE - Matcha tea contains roughly 25-35mg of caffeine per half teaspoon, but won’t make you jittery or cause an afternoon coffee crash. Matcha green tea also contains L-Theanine, an important amino acid, as well as vital antioxidants. In fact, it contains 137 times the antioxidants of regular green tea.
  • GUARANTEED FRESH - Our premium matcha tea is ordered in small batches and ground fresh to order. This means it is fresher than what’s sold in stores, and freshness means brilliant color, intoxicating aroma, and less bitterness. All orders are packed in airtight containers to ensure freshness.
  • AUTHENTIC JAPANESE ORIGIN- Our organic matcha tea is shade grown in the Nishio region of Japan by matcha tea experts. The special climate of Nishio produces the highest quality natural matcha tea. It is harvested during the first harvest in early May.
  • CERTIFIED USDA ORGANIC - Our Japanese matcha tea is raised, harvested, and processed without the use of harmful pesticides or inorganic fertilizers and is non GMO and gluten free. It is hand picked and stone ground on granite mills. We also safety test for heavy metals and perform radiation testing every month.

Quality without Compromise

At Kenko Tea, we’re obsessed with matcha! It’s our sole focus.

We spend all our time perfecting the art needed to bring this green elixir to life.

Kenko matcha is shade-grown to boost the chlorophyll & antioxidant content, stripped of veins & stems to reduce bitterness, and stone-ground to achieve a fine consistency. The result? Incredibly nutritious and tasty matcha your body will love.

Authentic Japanese Origin

There’s only one place on the planet that produces the finest matcha – where weather and altitude combine to create tea leaves bursting with wholesomeness: Japan.

And that’s where all our matcha comes from.

We source high-grade matcha from the special Nishio region in Japan, where dedicated farmers selectively handpick young leaves after 3-4 weeks of growing in the shade. Don’t settle for less.

Organic & Vegan-Friendly

We’re not afraid to say no. We say no to GMOs. No to pesticides. No to heavy metals and chemical fertilizers. We go above and beyond when it comes to our matcha by safety testing for heavy metals, along with radiation testing every single month. We say no to all the bad stuff so that you can be whispering ‘yes, yes, yes!’ as you sip your tea or bite into that matcha treat.

Taste the Freshness

This isn’t any ordinary matcha green tea powder. It isn’t the store-bought kind that sits on the shelf for ages. Nor the mass-produced powder that has a weak nutritious kick. Our matcha is as fresh as it gets; it travels from Japan to our headquarters then straight to you. The proof of freshness? Just check out the color! Open the airtight packaging and you’ll be greeted by striking bright green.

Loaded with Antioxidants

The numbers don’t lie: matcha has up to 137x the antioxidants of regular green tea! The result of that level of free radical-fighting power? A world of body-loving goodness. Looking to cut back on coffee? Matcha treats you to sustained mental clarity without the jitters. It may also help with everything from skin health and weight loss to overall wellbeing. Go ahead, experience the power.

3 Stars
Decent Matcha for the price. Too Lite for me.
I’ve been recently trying different Matcha powders to see which one is right for me cost and quality wise, so I decided to do a little taste test, and this is my opinion on the 8 that I tested. Note that all are Ceremonial Grade except for Jade Leaf (Culinary Grade) which I’ve been using for cooking and smoothies but included it for comparing color. Cost:Kyoto Dew: $.83/gramIppodo: $1.37/gram (BEST)Matchabar: $.99/gramPure Chimp: $.29/gram (WORST)Kenko: $.33/gramEncha: $.65/gramAkira: $.83/gramJade Leaf (Culinary Grade): $.19/gramTop 4:1) Ippodo: Hands down the best Matcha I’ve ever tasted, but very pricey to use daily. Sweet, earthy, Intense and complex with an unmatched bright rich green color. This is a special occasion or limited use Matcha for me because of the price.2a) Akira: The taste is remarkably close to Ippodo but not as complex and has a slight bitterness at the beginning. Sweet, earthy, floral, fresh and complex with a bright rich green color.2b) Kyoto Dew: A particularly good Matcha that gives a strong herbal and sweet flavor with a subtle bitterness. Sweet, herbal, smooth and slightly complex with an incredible dark (Chlorophyll Dense) rich green color which I love.3) Encha: A particularly good Matcha but lacks the high complexity of Ippodo and Akira. Mild bittersweet, earthy, nutty, smooth and slightly complex with a bright rich green color.Bottom 3: I didn’t include (Jade Leaf) because it’s Culinary Grade.7) Pure Chimp: The worst Ceremonial Grade Matcha I’ve tasted. If this is in fact a true Ceremonial Grade Matcha, then it’s not a premium grade. The color, texture, aroma and flavor are on par with Culinary/ Cooking Grade with maybe a slight edge to Pure Chimp in color (see pic) and taste. The price also reflects this. It was by far the cheapest Ceremonial Grade I tested ($.29/gram) and it showed. I see no reason for someone to purchase this product.6) Matchbar: A decent Matcha, but for the price there are plenty of better options out there (Akira, Encha, Kyoto, Kenko) are all cheaper and better.5) Kenko: A decent Matcha, but it was very lite with some bitterness that lingered too long. Slightly sweet, grassy, mild bitterness and soft flavor with rich green color. This would be a good start for someone that has never tried Matcha or for someone looking for a softer flavor.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality, slightly sweet taste, best in class Match tea
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2016
I purchased both the Jade Leaf and Kenko Matcha Green Tea Powder. Both are ceremonial grade matcha and about as pure as you will get. Both are sourced from small family farms in Japan and are tested repeatedly for radiation. Jade Leaf is slightly less expensive at $23.95 for 30G. Kenko is slightly more expensive at $27.99 for 30G. Kenko has a slightly sweeter flavor and the tea powder is a brighter green. Jade Leaf is not as sweet and a tad darker in color. I like them both equally and alternate between teas. I have become an avid Matcha tea drinker after being a long term espresso coffee drinker. The clean refreshing “buzz” keeps me alert for hours without the jitters. Also L-Theanine an amino acid found primarily in teas promotes relaxation, reduces stress, while at the same time boosts concentration and alertness. I can code for hours on this tea. Traditional ceremonial teas are packed in light tin containers that seal air tight. Keep them in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and cold.

Jade Leaf arrived with a sealed bag of powder tea inside the tin. You simply cut the bag open then pour tea inside the tin. I think they took extra precaution for freshness by double packing. Kenko arrived with the tea loose inside the tin. It was not double packed. It didn’t affect the taste or freshness at all. Jade Leaf sent me follow up emails asking if everything arrived ok and if I was enjoying the tea. They also sent me coupons for future purchases. Nice touch. I like it when suppliers take the time to do this. Kenko sent me an email asking if all was good but they did not offer any future purchase coupons.

All in all I like them both. If I had to buy just one next time I might go with Kenko because I prefer the slightly sweeter taste. I would recommend buying both as I did and do your own taste test comparison. These are two very best Matcha teas on the market and I wouldn’t bother with any other brands. Both of these teas are created in the highest strictest manner with emphasis on quality and taste. They also buy from small family farms which I like. I was not paid for this endorsement not did I receive any incentives from suppliers for writing this review.
