Dona Ceremonial Grade Matcha, Stone-Milled from Wazuka, Kyoto Family Tea Estate, Hot or Iced, 1.1 Ounce Airtight Seal Tin

I'm so pleased that I took a chance with this brand. The matcha shortage has been crazyyyy and I was ready for more complexity and depth while wanting to move away from safe/beginner-friendly matchas as they started to taste diluted and dare I say- basic? Just basic and green? The market is super saturated with so many choices, it's overwhelming and expensive. I wanted to find one that was readily available, quick shipping, authentic, earthy, not too bitter, smooth, nutty. affordable to a point ; I don't want to spend 60 for a canister but if I were to be disappointed time after time, Id conclude that the taste i was searching for would only be guaranteed at that price point and accept it, gladly. (Thank you for proving me wrong, Dona!) Dona Ceremonial Grade Matcha checks all the boxes! I am so grateful for this quality matcha and I just know this one is one I will always come back to. It blends beautifully and there is a nutty, roasted smell as well as taste to it. I wanted to gatekeep this but I know someone is in the same boat I was in and Dona deserves recognition for providing us with an exceptional matcha that I've been looking forward to every morning and afternoon. I'm so happy. My golden ratio with Dona is 3 grams matcha/ 30 ML hot water (no more than 175° F) 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tsp maple syrup and 100 ML oat milk (oatly Basic is my fav right now) I wish I could "up" some ingredients to have more volume of it to drink .. but I'm not gonna mess with perfection.

I’ve tried several brands, but this one stands out. The color is a beautiful vibrant green, which shows how fresh and high-quality it is. The flavor is smooth, earthy, and not bitter at all—perfect for lattes, smoothies, or even baking. I use it every morning to make my matcha latte, and it gives me steady energy without the crash of coffee. The powder dissolves easily and has a lovely aroma. Totally worth it! Highly recommend it to anyone who wants real Japanese-style matcha at home.
