The little packet doesn’t make it clear that this has sugar added, though it’s pretty obvious from context and they do include that information in the online description of it. The powder is dull green and clumpier than regular matcha. The instructions are… optimistic. It basically says to combine powder with milk, stir 10 times, microwave, stir 10 times again, and voilà! Admittedly I used oat milk instead of regular, but I don’t think that was the issue. It just wasn’t dissolving well with a spoon. Eventually I switched to stirring with a fork, which helped, but it definitely took more than 10 stirs to get everything fully dissolved. (This was a good reminder that I need to replace our broken frother.) The finished beverage is still a dull green. Not greyish, but definitely more washed out than some of the better matchas I’ve had. I think we can reasonably conclude that this blend uses culinary grade matcha. Which is fine for a latte, I suppose. It’s just sort of generally nondescript. Not bad, just not very interesting. It tastes like every matcha latte you’ve ever gotten from a coffee shop. I can confirm the caffeine content here is pretty high. By the time I was nearing the bottom of the cup, my hands were shaking even though I had recently eaten.
