Its velvety, rich, creamy profile is intended for matcha lattes and other matcha creations, with enough flavor to remain noticeable when mixed with milk. ### How does Ujido Ceremonial Blend Matcha taste? This shade-grown matcha has a rich, creamy character without bitterness. It is not intended to taste subtle, making it suited to preparations that combine matcha with milk and sweetener. The velvety profile also works across other matcha creations where a pronounced matcha taste is wanted. ### What is in the first- and second-harvest blend? The blend combines two stated grades and harvest periods rather than using a single grade throughout: - **80% ceremonial grade:** Made with first-harvest matcha. - **20% high culinary grade:** Made with second-harvest matcha. - **Provenance:** The tea leaves are grown in Japan. - **Growing method:** The matcha is shade-grown. - **Dietary attributes:** Gluten-free, keto, and non-GMO. The matcha contains antioxidants, catechins, EGCG, and L-theanine. Each serving also contains 30–45 mg of natural caffeine. These specifications describe the product without assigning medical or performance outcomes to its compounds or caffeine content. ### How do you use this matcha in a latte? For a matcha latte, mix the powder into a preferred milk and sweeten to taste. Its creamy, non-bitter profile is intended to carry through the milk rather than become too subtle. The same blend can be used in other matcha creations, including desserts and savory preparations. Ujido Ceremonial Blend Matcha is offered in two formats: 2 oz and 4 oz. Both contain the same 80% ceremonial grade and 20% high culinary grade blend, allowing buyers to select the listed size that fits their needs.

Color Vibrancy 5 review details- On this criterion, I assign Vibrant to “Bright green color” from Wendy (2025-04-27). Bright green is explicitly reported in a review describing daily matcha lattes.[Wendy — 2025-04-27](https://ujido.com/products/matcha) - From Shauna (2025-05-07), I retain “a nice, vibrant green color” as Vibrant. The color is explicitly vibrant; the preparation includes honey or agave, almond milk and ice.[Shauna — 2025-05-07](https://ujido.com/products/matcha) - My reading of “The green color is nice” is Moderate; the source is Blan, 2025-06-23. Green is explicit in a milk-based preparation, but nice does not increase the saturation level.[Blan — 2025-06-23](https://ujido.com/products/matcha) - Anonymous wrote on 2026-07-28: “a dull, muddy, hardly flavorful matcha”. I assign Very dull. The most recent bag is described as dull and muddy, unlike the earlier purchases.[Anonymous — 2026-07-28](https://ujido.com/products/matcha) - I retain “great bright green color” from Kayleigh’s 2023-07-08 review at Vibrant. Bright green is explicit; generic product praise does not raise the intensity level.[Kayleigh — 2023-07-08](https://ujido.com/products/matcha) **3.2**(5 reviews) ## Frequently asked questions First- and second-harvest matcha blend for creamy non-bitter lattes Here are some frequently asked questions and answers. ### What does Ujido Ceremonial Blend Matcha taste like?
