Naoki Matcha Superior Blend is a ceremonial-grade Uji matcha powder in a 50g resealable pouch, crafted for smooth flavor, versatile recipes, and everyday freshness.
Harvested and milled in the Uji region of Japan, this 50 g (1.75 oz) pack contains first-harvest, shade-grown tea leaves ground into fine tencha and milled into matcha shortly before export. The powder is sealed into an air-tight, resealable packet to preserve aroma and color for home use. It strikes a balance of umami and a slight hint of bitterness, making it approachable for newcomers while remaining authentic enough for traditional preparations.
What makes this matcha different from other green tea powders?
Naoki Matcha Superior Blend comes from Uji, one of Japan’s most respected tea regions, and uses tencha leaves from the first harvest for fuller flavor and color. The production prioritizes freshness—ground just before leaving Japan—to retain volatile aromas and vivid chlorophyll hue.
- First-harvest, shade-grown tencha for richer umami and color
- Ground in Japan and packed in air-tight, resealable pouches
- Ceremonial-grade quality suitable for straight whisked tea and premium recipes
How should I prepare Naoki Matcha for a classic bowl of usucha?
Usucha (thin matcha) is quick to make and highlights the powder’s smooth profile. Use about 1 teaspoon (2 g) of matcha per cup, sift to remove clumps, add 70–80 ml of hot water just below boiling, and whisk briskly in an M-shaped motion until frothy.
- Portion: 1 tsp (2 g) per serving; 25 servings per 50 g pouch
- Water temp: ~75–80°C (167–176°F) to avoid bitterness
- Whisking: bamboo chasen or small electric frother for best foam
Can I use this matcha in lattes and recipes?
Yes — the blend is deliberately balanced to perform well in milk-based drinks, smoothies, and baking where matcha is a featured ingredient. Its smooth umami and subtle bitterness stand up to milk and sweeteners without being overpowering.
- Matcha lattes: dissolve with a small amount of hot water, then add steamed milk
- Cold drinks and smoothies: pre-blend to avoid clumps, then combine with milk or juice
- Baking and desserts: use when matcha is a main flavor to preserve color and taste
How does this packaging keep matcha fresh, and how many servings are in a pack?
The powder is sealed in a resealable, air-tight pouch designed to limit oxygen exposure and preserve flavor between uses. Each 50 g pouch is sized for everyday drinkers and home cooks, providing roughly 25 standard usucha servings so you can use it regularly without bulky tins.
- Resealable pouch reduces waste compared to larger tins
- Approximately 25 servings per 50 g (1 tsp / 2 g per serving)
- Compact size fits easily in pantry or refrigerator for longer freshness
Who is this for? Naoki Matcha Superior Blend suits anyone who wants authentic Uji matcha that performs well across tea, lattes, and recipes: beginners seeking a smooth, forgiving ceremonial-grade powder; home baristas who want consistent color and foam in milk drinks; and cooks who need a matcha that remains vivid in desserts. If you value freshness, clear green color, and a balanced flavor profile from a respected Japanese tea region, this 50 g resealable pack is built for regular enjoyment.
