Meiko™ Ceremonial Matcha 20g
£17.00 GBP
Full-bodied with Subtle Floral Aromas
This hearty ceremonial-grade matcha brews a deeply rich emerald green cordial with robust body, sweet-savoury undertones and a bouquet of floral notes and delicate tannins
Iridescent green in colour, Meiko™ (an epithet referencing to the beautiful budding of a flowering plant) is masterfully blended to create a well-defined, flavoursome brew with sweet, mellow top notes, followed by savoury undertones of salted caramel and with floral hints of tannins complementing the finish. This matcha is characterised by its remarkable ooika fragrance, a captivatingly refreshing aroma found only in the most exceptional shade-grown green tea. Perfect to be brewed on its own or enjoyed as part of a plethora of health elixirs of choice.

Place 1/2 tsp (approx. 2 bamboo scoops) of matcha (~1g) in matcha bowl, then wet with 15ml (0.5fl oz) of 70ºC/160ºF water. Thoroughly knead mixture using bamboo whisk until smooth paste forms. Add 70ml (2.4fl oz) of remaining water and mix until consistent.
Upon sipping, roll the liquid around the palate to appreciate the full flavour anatomy of the tea.
- Store in a cool dry place, away from moisture, sunlight, and odours
- Refrigerate after opening for maximum flavour and potency
Customer Reviews
I bought the 20g tin to try and see how it was, and I loved it at first sip. Not astringent at all, nice mellow and creamy taste, slightly umami, kinda nutty, flowery and overall just perfect. I can literally drink this straight up without milk or sweetener and it still tastes great, no bitterness. Also the color is just perfect. Even if I use 2g of matcha the color still looks vibrant. After this I bought the 100g a month ago and it's already almost finished. What a bummer the prices went up and I won't be able to afford it for a while.

This has got to be one of my favorite matcha powders. The green color is beautiful and the matcha is sweet and creamy I LOVE it. I usually make lattes every morning so I will definitely be buying the big bag of this matcha when it is in stock.

Great quality matcha! This was one of my first expensive matchas and it did not disappoint! The color is vibrant, not too grassy or astringent , one of my favorites

I've tried several matcha powders before, but this one is easily one of my favorites! It's super creamy even without milk, and pretty sweet compared to other powders I've tried. There's little to no acidity or astringency, so it's perfect as an usucha as well. I highly recommend this powder to individuals who don't like "grassy" or acid-tasting matcha powders, or anyone who likes a smooth matcha to get through the day!
Thank you, Cali, for your lovely feedback on our Meiko Matcha! It’s always a pleasure to hear from happy customers like you. We can’t wait to serve you again soon! – Matchaeologist Team
I’m so glad I found this matcha! I love the popular Japanese brands, but this is by far my favourite! Affordable and easier to get my hands on, but still providing that iconic matcha taste. Split 1kg bag with my friend currently have 500g in my fridge for me to make drinks and sweet treats
