Description:


The Heroine with 1,001 Faces dismantles the cult of warrior heroes, revealing a secret history of heroinism at the very heart of our collective cultural imagination. Maria Tatar, a leading authority on fairy tales and folklore, explores how heroines, rarely wielding a sword and often deprived of a pen, have flown beneath the radar even as they have been bent on redemptive missions. Deploying the domestic crafts and using words as weapons, they have found ways to survive assaults and rescue others from harm, all while repairing the fraying edges in the fabric of their social worlds. Like the tongueless Philomela, who spins the tale of her rape into a tapestry, or Arachne, who portrays the misdeeds of the gods, they have discovered instruments for securing fairness in the storytelling circles where so-called women's work-spinning, mending, and weaving-is carried out.

Tatar challenges the canonical models of heroism in Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a Thousand Faces, with their male-centric emphases on achieving glory and immortality. Finding the women missing from his account and defining their own heroic trajectories is no easy task, for Campbell created the playbook for Hollywood directors. Audiences around the world have willingly surrendered to the lure of quest narratives and charismatic heroes. Whether in the form of Frodo, Luke Skywalker, or Harry Potter, Campbell's archetypical hero has dominated more than the box office.

In a broad-ranging volume that moves with ease from the local to the global, Tatar demonstrates how our new heroines wear their curiosity as a badge of honor rather than a mark

Creamy, Smooth, and Fresh — Perfect First Matcha Experience
Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I tried the Naoki Superior Blend Matcha for the first time and was honestly impressed from day one. I prepared it with milk, and the matcha turned out incredibly creamy and smooth with a natural sweetness — no bitterness at all. The color was a vibrant bright green, which immediately made it feel fresh and high quality. You can tell this is not one of those dull, stale matcha powders. It mixed well and had a very clean, balanced flavor. As someone who was looking for authentic Japanese matcha without the marketing gimmicks, this felt like a great find. Looking forward to trying it next with just warm water to experience the flavor on its own.

Smooth like butter - Better than Jade leaf
Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This stuff is smooth. No hint of bitterness in sight. Its so smooth I actually preferred to mix it 50/50 with Jade Leaf in my Matcha lattes. Its just amazing Matcha.. so good I started occasionally drinking it by itself not as a latte... the flavors present in just the tea (no milk, no sugar, etc) is insane. Umami, savory, very minimal mineral/bitter tastes. So if you like mineral tasting matcha, try Dens tea Restaurant Matcha... it has a very strong mineraly taste. This is almost the opposte. One thing to note, this stuff is so smooth and lacks bitterness that I actually have to use 3.5g instead of 3g like I do with Jade leaf... but once you get the strength dialed in it is MINT. I personally dont care about any clumping etc because I whisk my matcha with an electric frother in about 2 oz of water before adding milk or anything else.. even the matcha i had in my fridge which got clumpy from condensation didtn stand a chance... so if you ever have lumpy matcha.. its your fault, not the matchas fault. FYI. I dont mind the Jade leaf at all (for lattes)... in fact I wil gladly use it if its on sale.. but this is objectively the better matcha. If you plan to drink by itself, dont even consider jade leaf.. I am speaking specifically for lattes... Naoki is the only one you want to drink straight. But if you are a latte person.. either one is good quality and a buy again from me.

Great quality and value!
Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
After my Japan trip last year, I became a Matcha lover. Bought a few different brands, Naoki is the best and is my favorite. Taste fresh, smooth and love the bright green color. I drink Matcha latte everyday. Also whenever my friends come over, I would make one for them to show off my Matcha making skills. They love it as much as I do.

Good Beginner Matcha
Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 1.75 Ounce (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Superior Blend, Size: 1.75 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am a beginner Matcha enthusiast and I love i making matcha lattes at home (my favorite is Strawberry Matcha lattes). I have repurchased Superior Ceremonial 3× now. I am on my second 3.5 oz bag. I've also tried another well known popular affordable matcha (Jade Leaf) and I immediately decided it is better to splurge accouple more dollars in purchasing Naoki. The texture of the powder is extremely fine. The color is a beautiful dark vibrant green. The flavor is very light with a very low bitterness and a hint of sweetness on its own. It has a very clean taste. However, the flavor does get easily over shadowed by milk and sweetners in a latte. If you want to taste the matcha better you need to add more matcha powder (~4.5 grams). Considering the fact that I am not drinking Matcha traditionally, I do not need a flavor profile that is super complex like what other matcha enthusiasts rave about (often times their recs are super overpriced for its size and/or hard to get). I just need something that will be paired well when used with milk and sweetners. I look for matcha with good quality, affordability, and easy accessibility to repurchase (via Prime adds extra brownie points). Superior Ceremonial checks all the boxes to a first good intro to matcha!
