Jade Leaf Matcha Review

For this Jade Leaf Matcha review we tested the Organic Ceremonial Matcha which is made for sipping as tea.

We have seen other Jade Leaf Matcha reviews where they review the culinary grade matcha, which is not made for sipping as tea. Then they give it a poor rating, which isn't fair, because they are not using it as intended.

You can learn more about ceremonial grade vs culinary grade matcha by visiting our guide to the best matcha.

Jade Leaf Organic Ceremonial Matcha is a super premium matcha green tea powder sourced directly from organic farms Uji and Kagoshima, Japan.

It is 100% USDA Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder, all natural with nothing added, naturally gluten free and vegan.

Jade Leaf Matcha was started in 2014 by two guys that loved matcha and found it difficult to buy high quality matcha at reasonable prices.

They set out to change all of that and Jade Leaf Matcha was formed.

Since then they have built relationships with tea farmers in Japan and customers across the globe to bring premium quality organic matcha to market at reasonable prices.

One of our favorite things about Jade Leaf Matcha is that they test their matcha for all kinds of things and publish the results!

Here is their Certificate of Analysis:

We love the transparency of the Jade Leaf Matcha brand!

The second thing that we love about Jade Leaf Matcha is that they put their customers before their profits and offer a "Love it or your money back"  Guarantee.

If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase of Jade Leaf Matcha for any reason, just email them and they will refund your order in full, no questions asked.

That is the one of the traits that distinguish the best brands of matcha from the rest!

Jade Leaf Matcha Review Of Color and Grind

On with the Jade Leaf Matcha Review!

As you can see in the image below, Jade Leaf Matcha has that vibrant emerald green color that is shared by the highest quality ceremonial matchas.

You can also see that the grind is super fine powdery without any of the clumping that you sometimes find in lesser matchas.

I would characterize the aroma of the powder as fresh, grassy, earthy and slightly sweet.

Next Step for the Jade Leaf Matcha Review is to prepare the matcha green tea and rate it on taste.

Jade Leaf Matcha Review - Taste

We prepared the Jade Leaf Matcha in the traditional manner with a matcha whisk and bowl.

We found the Jade leaf Matcha to be a very mild tasting matcha. Very smooth with a hint of grassiness.

It lacked any hint of bitterness and we enjoyed the flavor very much.

Keep in mind that we are reviewing the Jade Leaf organic ceremonial grade matcha, which is very different from the culinary grade. We were quite impressed with Jade Leaf's ceremonial grade matcha and even included it on our list of Best Matcha on Amazon (2022)

Jade Leaf Matcha Review - Overall

We found Jade Leaf matcha to have a good flavor, color, and grind, however, we were very disappointed with their customer service and their inability to answer our direct questions about their product. However, aside from customer service, we at Matcha Connection recommend Jade Leaf matcha based on price, taste, and quality alone. Below is a list of our other favorite matcha brands!
