Reviews for Daily Matcha Powder
September 13, 2024
Yummy, a little messy.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I love matcha latte’s. I add almond milk and agave. My only concern with this product is that it came in a tiny bag at the bottom of a regular long tin. When I opened it, the fine powder exploded a bit and then I had to pour it back into the canister. Poof! I think maybe a smaller tin with a seal would have been easier.

My daily ritual
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This is my daily drink for focus and energy without feeling jittery. Smooth and creamy taste. I love the ritual of making my matcha latte: Boil 2 ounces water. Use bamboo scoop to measure matcha powder and add to bowl. Pour in hot water and use bamboo whisk to mix up powder into water. Whisk in light colored honey. Heat 2 ounces milk. Add milk and use electric frother. Enjoy.

Daily Morning Beverage
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I am so thrilled to say I have been a Daily Matcha drinker for years. I love the fact it is less caffeine and yet give you more clarity, focus, and energy in the morning. I enjoy the smooth, creamy texture of this tea. I add collagen powder, a teaspoon of butter, whipping cream to my morning mix. I had drank coffee since I was 4 years of age ( Yes, true back in the day, that is what parents let you do) So giving up coffee was a big deal. I admit, I have not missed coffee at all. Daily Matcha is better for my health. Give it a try!

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I'm not a fan of Matcha teas from other brands or brands served by my local cafés. This is by far my favorite, because it's smoother in texture and flavor. The earthy flavor is not overwhelming, and I love that I can choose the amount of powder I want to use. As with all ROT selections, high-quality tea that sets the standard.

Worst macha I've ever had (tastes fine though)
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

so I loved the honey i get for my tea from this site but the macha i ordered from here is the worst experience with macha i've ever had. idk if its old. to finely ground. not ground finely enough. I have no idea. It TASTES fine to me. after all i add honey so im not that particular with it. but in the past most machas i have i can just dump into a cup and poor hot water on and mix in fine. this macha clumps together and refuses to dissolve in the water. I've even gone as far as gettinga tea strainer to pour hot water atop to help dissolve it and it just clings to the strainer instead. I'm not sure what else i can do.

Lotsa Matcha For Less!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

As an affordable alternative to the pricier "Organic Matcha," this most popular powdered green tea staple features a slightly sweet, grassy note suitable for drinking or blending into any variety of beverages or recipes requiring the much-favored ingredient. Whether served hot or chilled, it provides a refreshingly delicious pick-me, while also being quite brilliant when added to smoothies, baked goods or other foods calling for its uniquely distinctive taste. For those who love "lotsa matcha" in their daily diet, this is the perfect product to enjoy the highly-touted health benefits of green tea without spending too much "green!"

Too bitter for me
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

Out of several reviews, this is my lowest rating (essentially all my other reviews are 4's and 5's). So it looks like I'm a definitely an outlier on this tea, but for me it's too bitter. I do like the other green teas I have tried: Lean Green and Serenity. (If you also find this too bitter, I'd suggest the Serenity if you want a green tea with some matcha. It's a 5 in my humble opinion. )

This matcha is inexpensive enough for me to drink it every day, and the flavor is light and grassy. The health benefits of drinking it plain are great, but I find I like the taste better when I add milk and sweetener. It's a good "daily driver" tea for the morning or an afternoon pick-me-up!

This is an exception matching. I have been buying the matcha tea bags from RoT for years and have started the powdered version for the last year . It always makes a beautiful, earthy steaming cup of latte ! The flavor is robust yet subtle. Fragrant and enveloping. I'm a coffee drinker but will only drink this matcha when the need for tea calls. Which is about 2x a week.

Tastes like grass. Not bitter, has a smooth texture but taste is bad, like a lawn. What could taste worst? Bitter dandelion greens. Will NOT purchase again. Will buy matcha green tea from a different company. Will get a matcha that is organic, ceremonial grade and sweet. Have been purchasing Republic Teas for years but this daily matcha is not for me.

I'm just beginning to dabble in making matcha at home cuz I can't pay $5-$6 a day for Starbucks. So with a little bit of research I went to world market for matcha and this was the only one that didn't have a review, idk why so I bought it. Went home and made it with 2% steamed milk and a little bit of sugar and I'm HOOKED. It's light, easy to stir and was really affordable compared to others I've looked up. So I'll probably be repurchasing again!

Not Bitter
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Within the last year, I have started drinking matcha tea and really love the delicate sweetness it leaves on the palate. I started with the U-Matcha Charcoal and really liked it. After I tried that, I went to Amazon online to find an organic green tea matcha from Japan thinking it would be just as good. I bought two different kinds. I was disappointed in them both, so I came back to ROT and tried the Matcha Powder Green Mini Tin (.30 oz) to see if it was as good as the Matcha Charcoal and I loved it! The thing that sets these green Matcha teas apart from the others I have tried is that they are not bitter. Even if I may have used more than a teaspoon per the recommended amount of water, it still does not get bitter like the others I've tried. I will be buying my Matcha teas only from ROT from now on!

Potential Less-Caffeinated Beverage To Replace Morning Coffe
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

I am a coffee drinker who liked a cup or bottle of green tea every now and again before I learned of green tea's benefits. I drink it more often now because it is something I like and is a good break for my normal higher-caffeinated coffees. I ordered the Matcha Powder after trying the Double Green Matcha tea bags. I like both. The Matcha Powder is great for mornings at home. The Double Green Matcha tea bags are great for whenever and are more portable if you like to take your tea elsewhere. I made my first cup of tea with the Matcha Powder using 1 teaspoon. For me, 1 teaspoon was too much. Making it with 1 teaspoon resulted in a drink with each sip containing a non-lingering but deep bitterness. The second cup was much better when I made it with ½ teaspoon. Drinkable without any additives like a cup of black coffee but I liked it better with a little honey added. It is a drink with wake-up qualities. It could become a morning coffee replacer.

Matcha tea Powder has to be whisked very well for the powder to dissolve. I purchased a kit which I do not see with the tin of the powder, organic agave nectar and a battery whisk. Purchased this as a video shown a Green Tea Latte - Yummy. I just recently found a recipe for Iced Matcha Tea. 8oz. cold water Ice cubes 1/2 tsp of Matcha Powder Super fine sugar or Agave Nectar or sweetner of your choice (enough to you liking) Shake in a mixing cup until powder is dissolved - Enjoy!

I thought this matcha was pretty good. Not too strong or bitter. It has a very green taste; sorta grassy, but then again, it's green tea. It's going to taste grassy and earthy because that's just how green tea tastes. If you're a matcha snob, you may prefer a more expensive matcha. For those who are new to matcha, I think it's pretty good and I would buy it again.

Great! Doesn't taste like fish
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I was extremely intrigued by the cheap price that was listed for this matcha, and figured if it was unsuitable for drinking I could always cook with it. I was pleasantly surprised that this is good quality for a good price. It's has the slightest bitter aftertaste, but it still also has the sweet finish that matcha is know to have. The bitterness isn't strong or off putting. This matcha was also vibrant green when I ordered it and has a nice pleasant aroma. I would also like to note that it doesn't taste like fish/seaweed like I worried. I've bought several loose leaf green teas that have a fishy flavor and I know the green tea lattes at 'everyone's favorite coffee shop' have an unbearably fishy flavor, so I was worried this might have that too. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my matcha, and will definitely reorder when I run out.

Wonderful Product
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have been using this for well over a year and love it. I am not a tea drinker in general, but have found that I do enjoy the Matcha when I mix it in other drinks like my water flavor packs. I also use it in my smoothies and other drink forms. My only issue with the product is I haven't been able to find it in my area. I just moved here two months ago and would like to find it locally. Of course, I could always order it online if I had to. :)

Too Bitter
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars

I ordered 3 cans of this matcha. I hope I can use it for baking or something because otherwise it is way too bitter to drink straight. The best Matcha I had so far was from Bouncing Bear Botanicals and they are sold out so I figured i'd try this because its cheaper and you get more. From BBB you get 1oz=$38, but it tastes earthy, alluring, sweet, and has the most smooth and amazing relaxing clarity feeling. This Matcha on the other hand tastes like straight green tea that has been brewed for an hour = Very Bitter. Recently went out and bought different matcha because I cant drink this forever. I bought 3 different kinds to compare = Domatcha 2nd harvest and ceremonial grade, and maeda-en universal. All were smooth and lacked bitterness found here. The 2nd harvest Domatcha did have a sliiight undertone of bitter, but was otherwise very smooth in comparison. All lack the earthy sweetness I found with BBB's (some random japanese) matcha but each one was nice and fulfilling and smooth compared to this rep

Very Healthy Tea. I'm Hooked On This.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have never, ever in my life been a green tea drinker. However, the older I got I started drinking it every now and then. This Matcha Tea is super healthy. I drink my tea without any sweeteners. It is not a tea I "pleasure" but I drink the tea faithfully because I know it is extremely healthy for me. The taste of the tea is ok. If I use really hot water it tastes a little grassy. The trick is to use "warm" water and make sure it Froths. Green tea is largely an "acquired" taste but so is broccoli and spinach. That doesn't stop me from eating them however.

Taste Like Starbucks' Green Tea Frappe
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I've been looking for a matcha that could imitate the taste of Starbucks' green tea frappuccino and this is it. This is the best tasting green tea I ever had. I couldn't go on a day without it.

Very Good!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I ordered this because I recently found a smoothie recipe that called for matcha. Where I work, we carry the Republic of Tea brand...just not the matcha...so I already knew the brand was of very good quality! I am addicted to these smoothies... just blend the following together in blender and enjoy!!!! 1 cup milk 1 cup frozen fruit 1 tsp - 1 tbsp matcha (depending on your taste buds) 1 tbsp honey Very, very yummy and definitely worth every penny!

great flavor!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have not jumped into whisking this with a bamboo whisk just a plain old spoon is good enough for me. Love the "fresh cut grass" taste that comes with this tea. No after taste either...wonderful flavor.

Buy the pound
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I ordered the sampler because I was not sure if I would like it or not. After tasting it ( I love it with soymilk and honey) I realized that I did not want to go a day without it, and I quickly ordered a pound. It is the best deal out their and the quality is superb. I am getting everyone around me hooked on it! Even my boyfriend who does not drink tea commented on the 'gourmet' taste. It has replaced my Earl Grey in the morning.

Matcha Fan 4 Life
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I love, love, love matcha tea. It's a cancer-fighter, a fat-burner, and much more - matcha provides you with green teas powerful arsenal of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids. So many recipes, so little time...

Recipe Review
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

Although this was a great clean tasting beverage and a great use for Matcha I generally use it for smoothies and cooking. The Matcha from the Republic of Tea is of great quality and great to find it in bulk. I generally use it in smoothies with Soy Milk, Protein powder, banana and ice...yum, yum and tastes divine. Always feel so good after drinking it.

My first matcha
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

This was my first time trying matcha. Like the description says it has a very vegital taste. Very green. I found a couple different uses for it too besides drinking it. Ive also mixed it with honey and tumeric for my honey mask and also mix it into my vanilla ice cream (which is absolutely devine).

SIMPLY, DIVINELY AWESOME
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea is not only a very high, excellent and purely refined of such highest quality, that its the consistency of real jewel grade of sand. This tea very closely resembles the tea I used to buy all over Korea and Japan. I must say that flavor is very clean, clear, and absolutely crisp. You must try. I dare you to enjoy it!

Delicious on its own, very versatile tea
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars

Fresh and grassy, a wonderfully strong cup pf green tea without the bitterness. I have also used this in steamed soy milk to make hot lattes (so much better than Starbuck's syrupy sweet version). Matcha is expensive everywhere, this was a pretty reasonable price for a high quality product.
