How did we get our start?
Jade Leaf Matcha is produced by the Kizuna Tea Collective - a thriving network of family-run tea farms across Japan. They cultivate high quality matcha and have supplied Japan’s domestic market since 1858.
What makes our products unique?
Our tea masters, Morita-san and Shimooka-san, are among the most decorated, with a combined 100+ years of experience. They bring together hand selected tea leaves from each harvest to create a unique, well rounded flavor profile.
Why do we love what we do?
We’re proud of the relationships we've built along the way with our partner tea farmers and with our customers. It’s exciting to help people enjoy matcha in a variety of ways — purely, organically, and without breaking the bank.

Product Description
We believe that organic matcha green tea is a great addition to a healthy lifestyle. So we set out to partner directly with the best organic farms in Japan, and the result has become our brand, Jade Leaf Matcha. We promise to offer the highest quality organic Japanese matcha.
What is matcha?
Matcha is premium green tea powder from Japan used for drinking as tea or as an ingredient in recipes. While green teas are grown throughout the world, matcha is unique to Japan.
Matcha is renowned for its numerous health benefits. It is rich in nutrients, antioxidants, fiber & chlorophyll. The health benefits of matcha exceed those of other green teas because matcha drinkers ingest the whole leaf, not just the brewed water. One glass of matcha is the equivalent of 10 glasses of green tea.
What are the different grades of matcha
Matcha is sold in varying degrees of quality - your choice depends on how you use it.
The lowest grade is “industrial” or “commercial”, it's generally restricted for use in making matcha-flavored foods and baked goods.
Higher quality "culinary” grades are suited for beverages, like smoothies and lattes, or for baking and cooking.
The highest grade of matcha, "ceremonial" grade, is the only grade that should be enjoyed by itself, and is best prepared in the ceremonial style.
Crumbl Inspired Matcha Cookies
It's safe to say that everybody is obsessed with Crumbl cookies - we don't blame them! A chewy and dense cookie topped with creamy flavorful frosting is hard to beat. It's no wonder we got inspired to create our own!
Ingredients and Instructions
- Cookie Ingredients - 1 cup salted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 eggs, 1sp vanilla, ½ tsp almond extract, 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, & 1 tbsp Matcha Powder
- Frosting Ingredients - 1 stick salted butter, 8oz cream cheese, 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 tsp almond extract, & Matcha or Matcha Latte Mix (1 - 3 tsps or to taste)
- Preheat the oven to 350, then blend the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs one at a time and then the vanilla and almond extract, once those are combined add in the flour, baking powder, and matcha until combined.
- Divide into 12 balls and place on baking sheets lined with parchment. Then flatten the cookie down with a glass. (use a glass that is a little smaller than the cookie so it’s a bit indented in the middle)
- Bake for 10-13 min - check the cookies as times may vary based on the oven. Once the cookies are cool spread with frosting.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
RANT: The biggest complaint I see from people on here is in regards to the amount you are getting for the price. They are not reviewing the quality of the item within the packaging or the flavor, etc. If you don't review the actual product and focus only on the quantity or packaging, the review is mostly worthless. As consumers, we get enough worthless reviews that are paid for, we don't need more worthless reviews because people only want to focus on the quantity and packaging and not review the quality. All are important in a review but the quality should be what is focused on.
Why is that that because it is a smaller size, people feel entitled to receive it for next to nothing? These are probably the same people that pay almost $2 for a 20 oz bottle of soda while the 2 liter bottle is only $1 and they don't bat an eyelash.
What they fail to understand is that making smaller sizes like this is not very cost effective for them to make. It probably costs them the same, or close to the same amount of money to purchase the bags they use for this size as it does for a larger size. These sampler sizes don't sell as well either. Unlike the bottle of soda that is "personalized" in size for the consumer to grab and go, this is a product that takes time and effort for the consumer to prepare. It is not meant to be a personalized size. If it were, people would have no problem paying for the convenience. Consumers are so spoiled and don't understand the costs associated with what it takes to import, pay the farmers a fair wage, the manpower and materials it takes to package the product, etc. I can guarantee you however, if a fair wage is not paid, someone is bound to call the 5:00 news! If you want sample sizes, fair wages, and the like, the consumer is going to have to pay for them or the company will go out of business really fast.
How many people have purchased an actual vanilla bean? Or saffron? Or truffles? No one seems to have a problem paying a high price for these items but complain about $10 for 30g of quality culinary matcha. Just like those items, a little matcha goes a long way.
It depends on how you plan to use it. If you are going to bake with it, buying a starter size is not cost effective for you.
If you are using it to make a tea latte, which is why I bought it, this is still gives you enough for 15 lattes that are 16 oz in size making them roughly $1.63 each (my recipe for this is below). Costs will vary depending on your ingredients of choice, and the area you live in. My numbers are based on $10 for 15 servings of this matcha and $0.08 per oz of organic vanilla almond milk in Austin, TX. Go to a coffee shop and you will pay at least $5 for a matcha latte of the same size, which is yet another thing buyers won't complain about. OK, RANT OVER...ON TO THE REVIEW!
REVIEW/COMPARISON: I used to hate the taste of Matcha but after years of taste bud readjustment, I decided to give it another try at Starbucks. They use Teavana brand for their lattes which is like Jade Leaf and does not use fillers and is organic. I try to avoid dairy so I used almond milk for my iced latte instead. Neither their tea or almond milk is sweetened so I added 3 pumps of vanilla to their venti size (they usually use 6 if you want it sweetened). Something about their almond milk leaves a bad aftertaste but before that hit, it was really good. Like most people, I can't afford $5 a day for one of these so I decided to buy the powder to make on my own at home (I was a barista in a former life so I often do this with my coffee concoctions too).
What I don't like about the Teavana brand is that it is much more expensive ($25 for 40g) and they claim it is ceremonial grade and yet, it looks and tastes exactly like Jade Leaf's culinary grade. In the brief research I did before buying, not a single self-proclaimed matcha aficionado EVER said to use ceremonial grade for a latte. They all very plainly stated that it was NOT for culinary use and that the taste is quite different. It is also higher in chlorophyll so it is a much brighter green color. That begs the question as to why Teavana, which looks and tastes the same as Jade Leaf is labeled ceremonial grade and being used for lattes when it is clearly the same culinary grade.
This morning, I made my first iced latte with this stuff from Jade Leaf. Using an organic, vanilla (sweetened) almond milk I found it was perfectly sweet and still had the very slight hint of the bitterness that comes from green tea. No weird almond milk aftertaste like the one from Starbucks. Needless to say, in the end, I will be buying this again in a larger size. It does say to store it in the fridge so that is where mine went when I was done with it. I plan to do a juice fast soon and a few recipes I have seen call for green tea for an extra metabolic and antioxidant boost. I plan to use this instead since it is so much more nutritionally dense than regular tea leaves.
RECIPE: They offer some recipe options on their Amazon listing and also on their website, but this was my super simple one that I threw together and was delicious.
Iced Matcha Vanilla Almond Latte:
4 oz (1/2 c) hot water (not boiling but barely steaming to help dissolve the matcha easily)
1 tsp Jade Leaf Organic Matcha
12 oz (1-1/2 c) cold vanilla flavored almond milk, or other milk of choice
Sweetener of choice, to taste (optional, I don't use any because my almond milk is already sweetened)
Ice cubes
NOTE: Sweetening options will have to be done at different steps depending on what you are using. If you are using liquid sugars like Torani or homemade simple syrups, those can go in at any time. Honey, agave, coconut nectar, sugar, and artificial sweeteners, should be blended in when you whisk the matcha into the hot water otherwise they will not dissolve properly and will settle at the bottom of the cup.
1. In a glass measuring cup, add 4 oz hot water.
2. Add 1 tsp of matcha powder and whisk together (see note for adding optional sweeteners)
3. Pour into a 16-20 oz cup over a few ice cubes to cool it.
4. Top off with the 12 oz vanilla almond milk (or other milk of choice) and stir to blend.
Add more ice if desired.
ENJOY Y'ALL!

ENJOY Y'ALL!
This Japanese Matcha is the best quality that I’ve found for taste, mixability, purity and value.
It’s not cheap and that’s because it’s not cheap! And have you researched what this can do for your body and overall health?
I believe in this as a superfood that has increased my body’s livelihood.
I’ve experienced weight loss, increased energy and focus, a kickstarted metabolism, thicker stronger hair, improved cholesterol and numbers on my annual labs, and I have actually grown to love the taste on its own or mixed with other flavors for richness.
I boil my water in a tea kettle, I shake in a cinnamon/sugar mixture from the grocery store, add some honey and some whole milk or unflavored kefir (another superfood which I make at home), sometimes a scoop of coconut flavored or unflavored collagen peptides, and whisk them together with a frother. And voila! I’m sipping on this delectable concoction every morning and alkalizing my body instead of acidifying it from coffee.
The caffeine content is maybe 1/10 that of coffee so if I need more of that I take a caffeine pill on rare occasion.
I drink Japanese Matcha for the absurd health benefits that I get, not for the short lived buzz of coffee which gives me stomach issues.
Try something new and get off that coffee!
