FKRO Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder | 1st Harvest, Single Origin, Single Okumidori Cultivar | Sugar-free | Flown in Fresh from Japan Every Month (30g/1.06oz) Pouch

I was genuinely impressed by this matcha. For the price, the quality is exceptional. The first thing I noticed was the vibrant, rich green color (a clear sign of good quality), especially compared to other budget-friendly options that often look dull or yellowish. The taste did not disappoint. It’s smooth and flavorful, without the bitter or grassy notes you sometimes find in lower-grade matcha. It stands up beautifully on its own, but it’s also incredibly versatile. I made a matcha latte sweetened with a touch of strawberry jam. The matcha’s earthy sweetness paired perfectly with the fruity jam, making what might be the best latte I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a high-quality, affordable matcha that’s perfect for both traditional preparation and creative recipes, I highly recommend giving this one a try. It’s an absolute steal!

Truly impressed by the quality of this matcha! The color was a nice shade of green and for the price, you can’t beat this! The flavor was really good and creamy, comparable to the more expensive matchas I’ve tried in the past! Gonna be my new go to when I run out of the matchas I currently have open rn! 10/10!

I’m a huge matcha fan but I cannot stand bitter, grassy matcha, and this one truly surprised me. It’s incredibly smooth, creamy, and lightly sweet with a rich umami flavor and no harsh aftertaste. It blends easily and gives me a calm, steady energy without the jitters or crash. As a breastfeeding, working mom, this has become my favorite morning drink before heading to work. I highly recommend it if you love matcha but want something clean, high quality, and easy to enjoy.

I’m new to matcha and have been experimenting with different brand here on amazon. This has been my favorite one, it’s creamy, not too bitter or sweet and goes perfectly with any flavor. Not to mention easy and simple to make for on the go drinks. I think it is worth the price, I plan to repurchase this again!!

taste wise, it’s incredibly smooth with low astringency. no harsh bitterness, no dry aftertaste lingering in your mouth. just a clean, mellow umami that makes it super easy to drink. It blends beautifully into a daily matcha latte. holds its flavor with milk without getting drowned out, but still soft enough that you don’t need a ton of sweetener. overall: approachable, balanced, and perfect for everyday lattes🍵!

Having tasted quite a few matcha brands, FKRO matcha still managed to surprise me with its creamy and full-bodied umami flavor. This one actually gets me excited to get up in the morning and have it. I’m so glad to have finally found my morning coffee replacement! I love this matcha with just water alone but would occasionally switch it up by mixing it with plant-based coconut or oat milk, which I find to pair well with matcha as compared to dairy milk. WHAT IS FKRO LIKE? The matcha powder comes in an aluminum pouch inside of the tin. My journey as soon as I opened the pouch and was greeted with the fresh aromatic sweet vegetal scent. I'm sure you'd agree that a good smell influences the taste of any food. I was gentle with transferring the matcha into my cup as I don’t want my matcha powder to fly around my kitchen. The matcha is a very pure vibrant green. HOW I PREPARED MY “TRADITIONAL” CEREMONIAL MATCHA: -I heated water to about 170 degrees -I added ½ tsp of matcha to my cup (I was lazy to sift) -I poured about 4 oz of water over the top of the matcha -I used a handheld milk frother to mix until frothy with no clumps (not quite the traditional bamboo whisk method but higher tech version) I’d adjust the amount of water used depending on my preference for the strength of the tea I’m feeling that day. Sometimes more, sometimes less. The matcha foams up well, mixed with water with ease and no clumps. TASTE: The thick foam on the surface is very satisfying to drink. The aroma and flavor are very complex – natural umami sweetness with slight astringency towards the end, but well-balanced by the creamy, thick and rich mouthfeel. The perfect balance of strength and smoothness. HOW DOES THIS TEA AFFECT ME? I always had a love-hate relationship with caffeine, especially with coffee. It made me tense, drained and out of touch with my body, but I couldn’t function without it. I don’t experience these side effects with this matcha tea. I do feel that I have better sustained energy levels and am able to focus for a longer period of time without ‘crashing’. Now I see why everyone talks about L-theanine. Overall, I am more productive (as seen with my lengthy review!!) and calm after my daily cup of FKRO matcha. SUMMARY: I thought matcha is just a fad powered by Instagram. Now, I understand why people go crazy over it. This matcha tea is in its own league. I have finally found my new daily morning boost. The color is a lush vibrant green, just like fresh vegetable produce. The aroma and flavor are very complex – natural sweetness with slight astringency towards the end, but well-balanced by the creamy, thick and rich mouthfeel. I must say that the focus and zenergy I get from this tea is great and I will be subscribing to this. You won’t be disappointed.

This is one of the best matchas I’ve tried so far. The color is vibrant, the taste is smooth, and it doesn’t have that harsh bitterness or watered-down flavor some matchas have. I was surprised that just one scoop was enough to make a full drink with great flavor and foam. It mixed well and tasted amazing with milk over ice. If you’re a real matcha lover, this one is definitely worth trying.

This is a great matcha for everyday lattes, especially if you’re new to matcha. It’s smooth, creamy, and not bitter at all. It foams up really well and blends easily with milk, making it super easy to use at home. I love how mild and approachable it is perfect for daily lattes without that strong or grassy taste some matchas have.
