So good
Very smooth tasting, not bitter. Dissolves easily.
I enjoy this tea when I have the time or feel like I need to slow down since it requires a little more effort than dropping a tea bag into water. I make it in my Japanese handleless cup and whisk with a bamboo whisk. Doing this, then drinking the tea is calming, focusing and exhilarating all at the same time.
I am a former coffee drinker and converted to matcha for my morning mug to wean myself off all the caffeine and acidity in coffee that was fueling my anxiety and stomach problems. I buy this in bulk now for savings! I like to blend a little coconut milk or coconut butter and sprinkle cinnamon on top.
I love this Matcha tea, I mix it with my collagen supplement, sip, and get happy!
I love this matcha tea. It is very smooth and not bitter like some green teas. You can use the powder to make it as weak or strong as you like. Also, I use the powder in my smoothies, ice cream or add to other drinks to get my green tea "kick" for the day. Great price for an excellent tea!
A good add-in to foods to get green tea benefits. I am not a great lover of cups of hot matcha, however, I appreciate the body and brain benefits of matcha. I use this high quality and silky matcha powder in cooked cereals, plain yogurt with maple syrup or honey, hot & cold lattes, cooked fruits, iced creamy smoothies, pancake, waffle & muffin batter, etc. In this way I can get a daily serving of matcha, in multiple tasty ways, to reap its many good health benefits.

Delicious. I wanted to copy Starbuck's Iced Green Tea Latte, and was able to match it perfectly with this. Really, really good!
I did not like the bitter taste of the tea and was about to toss it till I thought about mixing it into yoghurt. It is yummy with yoghurt! I add a heaping teaspoon and a 2 packs of sweetener (I use one pack of stevia and one pack of splenda). Fold it gently first into the yoghurt or else you will have the powder flying all over. Once completely folded, stir vigorously till you get a lucscious, full green color. Enjoy!
Quality matcha powder should be a bright, almost lemongrassy in color. When mixed with hot water for a traditional matcha tea, depending on how thick you like the consistency, the color should range from that lemongrass green to a deep emerald green without any brown undertones. When I prepared U-Matcha Natural with hot water, the brown undertones really came through and gave me more of a swamp green. Not appealing. In color alone this matcha falls short of what you should be getting for the price. At $17 for 1.5oz you're paying for ceremony grade matcha and receiving merely cooking grade. It has a strong, bitter taste; more of an earthy taste than fresh or vegetal, with not even a hint of sweetness. REALLY DISAPPOINTED. Don't waste your money; if youre buying matcha to make lattes and experiment with in the kitchen then buy a cheaper matcha. If youre a traditional matcha tea enthusiast then buy a different brand.
Had Matcha ice cream at a local ice cream store & loved it. So I went home & made my own, just as you describe. It has a wonderful refreshing, different flavor.
