Matcha DNA Certified Organic Matcha Powder, 12 oz Bag, Green Tea for Lattes

On a whim I ordered a lavender matcha oat milk drink at that big expensive coffee shop and I loved it, but not the nearly $9 price. Of course Amazon to the rescue! I understand there is a huge range of uses, quality and prices of matcha. I searched and searched thru the matcha listings, looking for something with a reasonable price for the quantity you get but yet a decent quality for what I wanted to do. This matcha powder wasn’t the cheapest and the reviews varied, I am guessing depending on what you are intending to do with it could have a lot to do with that. The matcha powder I received is a bright green and very smooth like chalk powder. It covered my hands from reaching in the bag so I put some in a smaller container to make it easier to scoop out. Using a basic $10 frother I was able to mix 2 scoops matcha with 8oz oat milk and the matcha completely mixed with no graininess, it worked similar to shake it. I added my own lavender cold foam and ended up with a perfect drink that tastes just like the one I spent $9 for. I did not have any bitterness or odd aftertaste. I imagine this package will last a really long time only using 2 scoops per drink but I will not hesitate to purchase this brand again for this specific use.

My family LOVES green tea, especially matcha. It’s something that just can’t be imitated and it’s hard to find some that’s not only “good” but doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. We used to drink our local brand, which is very, very good, but $20 for 8oz? We needed an alternative, or at least something that we’d like to drink day-to-day and leave the expensive stuff for special occasions! TL;DR This stuff is amazing! We have a lot of different requirements in my family. My wife likes hers sweet, my Grandma likes hers creamy, my Grandfather has to control his sugar, so it cannot be sweet and I like it lightly sweet AND creamy! What’s great is that it comes completely unsweetened! It can actually be a challenge to find some that isn’t sweetened. Trader Joes has a really nice matcha for an okay price, but you cannot get it without a whole bunch of sugar and other sweeteners. It’s great as a gift, but not good enough for the family! So, after trying out this kind, I have to say, it blows away our expensive favorite. The color is perfect, the aroma is to die for and it tastes perfect. It’s light, it’s earthy, it tastes exactly how it’s supposed to taste without any filler or weird colorants. (I once tried a brand that was neon-green! Bleh!) In addition, the packaging states that half a teaspoon is perfect for an 8oz glass, normally I do a whole teaspoon, but I tried it according to the packaging and it was perfect! I got the 12oz bag, and if that’s all it takes to make a perfect cup, this is going to last a long while! I might just pick up the 1lb tin next! I love this tea! The color, aroma and taste are just perfect, check out my pictures! I frothed some organic soy milk and made a hot soy matcha latte! Nothing better on cold nights with the family!

This is my first time trying matcha, and I love it! Everything about it is great: the health benefits, the taste, and how it makes me feel (healthy, energized, and focused). The taste resembles green tea, though it is a little stronger. I’d say the taste also slightly resembles spinach, which I love. You can certainly adjust the taste by how much water you add. I've also tried adding milk, which gives the drink a more delicate flavor. I love the taste, but even if I didn’t, I’d still drink this for health reasons. I’m very happy it’s not radiated, like a lot of matcha is. Since matcha contains more antioxidants than blueberries or pomegranates, I’ll be drinking a lot of it next time I’m fighting a cold. Matcha is caffeinated, so it would be an excellent replacement for your morning coffee. One way matcha is better than coffee is that matcha gives you energy without making you jittery. Normally, I can only drink caffeinated coffee and tea in the morning. If I drink it after lunch, I feel jittery. But I've been drinking matcha every day after lunch, and it hasn't made me jittery at all. The 12-ounce bag contains 226 servings, and it also comes with a measuring scoop, which is nice. I have no complaints at all. This is a great product, and I will be buying more of it!

I’ve been a fan of Matcha Tea. Every time I went to a sushi restaurant, I had to drink a couple cups of Match Tea they offer there to neutralize the strong taste of some sushi and wasabi. And I love it! Even though I don’t usually buy Matcha Tea powder and make the tea myself, this Chinese-made Matcha DNA Tea tastes very close to the tea I drank in the sushi restaurants. It feels smoothy and doesn’t taste bitter like some other green tea. I only need 1/2 spoon of powder to make myself a cup of tea. It is good for accompanying with food that has strong taste. It can booster the energy and healthier than drinking coffee and coke since it is 100% organic. Blending with water or milk / soy milk are great choice!

I was very excited when I received this Organic matcha DNA green tea in the mail. I personally love the taste of coffee, but matcha green tea works better with my body. This matcha tea comes with a scoop for easy use. Instructions say to use 1/2 a tsp, not sure if the scoop is one whole tsp or 1/2. I had this tea 3 different ways. 1st day: 1 scoop in hot water (frothed with matcha DNA frother) and agave- Was strong but drinkable. 2nd day: 1 scoop in hot milk (frothed with matcha DNA frother) and agave- Tasty, not as strong as with water. 3rd day: My husband prepared this one. 1/2 scoop in 4 oz hot milk (frothed with matcha DNA frother) and agave, and then added 8 oz water. This was the BEST way for me. It was absolutely DELICIOUS! Better than Starbucks matcha green tea. I recommend this Organic Matcha green tea, because of its flavor, easy to work with, and packaging. I used to have a matcha green tea that came in an aluminum bag that was inside a small cube container with a lid. I used to hate using it because either I would always drop the lid, or I would get matcha green tea fumes/tea on my face when I opened it. I don't have this problem with this one. It's big enough to where I can see it, but slim that I can store it in the cabinet. :)

I love this tea although it is first brand I have used (new to Matcha). It really regulates my system depending on where I am and what I need in the moment. It definitively energizes me in the morning and it has a soothing effect in late afternoon. For the first time ever I am replacing my morning coffee with Matcha some days. Still, the "wake up" effect is not as strong as in coffee, (at least not as in expresso or creamy strong coffee) so I'll go for coffee if am specially sleepy, but Matcha is my second option by far, it makes a difference compared to anything else. I personally like to have a big cup of Matcha, add a teaspoon of sugar and some almond milk. This I do specially recommend to add the first few times you try Matcha as it is so bitter initially. First time I had Matcha I totally disliked the taste. It takes a while for you to adapt and get used to the new flavor and bitter taste. I started to get used to it after drinking 3 or 4 times and now I like it very much. Sugar and Almond milk helps with the adaptation process. Because of the bitterness Matcha can give you nausea if you have it on an empty stomach, specially early in the morning.

Retracting my previous review: 'This is a cheap matcha, only good for baking.' Also, I'd like to change my 1 star to 3 stars. Now I think this matcha is good — not great — for cold drinks with whipped cream. Obviously, the price is an advantage. Therefore, I will buy it again for cold drinks with some sweetness.

Recently I decided to diversify my drinking habits a little for a variety of reasons. I am very concerned about my health, and although I enjoy a nice cup of coffee (or two) in the afternoon, I was troubled with the idea that it’s not good for me to drink so much coffee. I am also prone to anxiety and all the caffeine seems to set me off. I did some research online looking for a healthy alternative that would give me the pick me up I need, but not cause the jitters and aggravate my anxiety. I read a lot about the health benefits of green tea which lead to me reading about the added benefits of matcha. Matcha is the whole green tea leaf ground up into a powder (rather than water brewed with the leaves to make a weaker tea) so it has all the benefits of green tea only much, much more so. I was completely unfamiliar with it before but the benefits sounded amazing so I had to give it a try. Since then I’ve tried a couple of different kinds of matcha. This is Chinese Matcha which is slightly different than the Japanese variety I tried previously. Reading the positive reviews here prompted me to give this product a try. I like the fact that it is 100% organic matcha. Opening the bag, it smells very fresh. The smell is strong, but the taste is not overpowering at all. The effect is both invigorating and calming. The green tea has properties that calm you and balance out the caffeine. It's an overall much more soothing effect than coffee. It’s really easy to make this into a delightful afternoon tea. The powder is finely milled so it’s easier to mix into a beverage. There is no need to sift the powder ahead of time. Just add ½ teaspoon to a mug and add hot water, whisk (I use the frother in place of a manual whisk) and voila! Lattes are almost as simple especially if you have the frother. Add warm milk instead of water and froth! Both ways make a delightful afternoon drink that is both good and good for you.
