Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder for Smoothies, Cooking and Baking (3.5oz) by Kate Naturals - USDA Organic Matcha Tea Powder for Matcha Latte Grade. Japanese Matcha Powder Culinary Grade.

Im not to familiar with drinking or mixing Matcha green tea powders. I was expecting a sweeter taste like I did with the powder tea consistency. However, when mixed in a smoothie or drink I found the taste to be very strong but not bitter, and makes a nice creamy froth when blended. I add it to smoothies as I'm not a straight tea drinker, but will give it a try with directions given. All you really need is a tea/table spoon at most depending on what beverage you're making, and it blends leaving a nice robust early taste like fresh green tea. And for the price, it's really not that bad especially being organic. Although I was hoping for a sweet taste, all in all I wasn't to disappointed. If you're accustomed to clean eating or want something refreshing to wakeup to and drink, I'd highly recommend this.

To start I’m new to matcha but with anything I buy online I read as much as I could find and took other customer reviews into consideration, I’ve only had two cups so far the color is a good tea green but not emerald green the smell is just like smelling a tea bag, I also purchased a matcha tea set which comes with the cup spoon and whisker and followed the traditional steps for making matcha getting the water to the right temperature is important in my opinion it mixed quite well I put 3/4 of a teaspoon in my cup, ok so TASTE everyone wants to know this part it’s just like a cup of strong green tea and it digested quiet well I’m very happy with this purchase I will probably try other brands that aren’t insanely expensive but with this brand price quantity and quality are all spot on and I’m happy with this brand matcha and no I didn’t get a free sample I’m just a guy who took a chance

This culinary grade matcha powder has a very mild flavor and is light green in color. I bought it after the kind I'd been drinking for four years was discontinued and some other brands I tried were brown and bitter. It's okay but doesn't taste like much of anything as hot tea. I prefer greener matcha with a bit more of a grassy pop because I typically use it for lattes. This powder works fine for those, although it takes more because it's not very strong. I probably wouldn't use it for cooking because it wouldn't add much flavor to food.

Decided to try making my own Green Tea Frappaccino. Found a recipe for SB Green Tea Frappaccino. With Kate Matcha it tastes so much smoother plus I can adjust the milk type and amount of sugar. WOW it was so much better.Sorry SB, but I found a better Green Tea Frappaccino recipe I can make at home in minutes. Plus I can use lactose free milk with reduced sugar content - YUM Much smoother and not as bitter, it has to be this Matcha which makes the difference.Ingredients2 cups ice cubes1 cup milk or soy or almond milk1 teaspoon vanilla extract3 tablespoons sugar (I used 2)3 teaspoons premium Japanese Matcha green tea powder i.e, Kate Natural Matcha Green Tea PowerInstructionsBlend all ingredients in a blender and until smooth, creamy and even in color. Top with whipped creamEnjoy immediately!

Up to macha flavor

I use this matcha mixed half and half with golden milk mix and drink it every morning instead of coffee. Love the flavor and get a bit of caffeine without the jolt.

I have tried a different brand of organic Japanese Matcha powder before that I purchased at a health food store. Kate Naturals' product isn't quite as smooth as the previous one, but close enough to appreciate the much lower price. I use a milk frother for eliminating some of the clumps this matcha tends to have, and this way it's easy to use. Took a bit to figure that out but now I like it a lot. The taste is enjoyable for my morning matcha latte. I just repurchased it, so apparently I'm happy with it :).

I liked the flavor. It was smooth and tasty. Not powdered as evenly as it should've been, there were larger flakes that made the consistency off.Most importantly, buyers should pay attention to the serving sizes. I nearly gave myself a caffeine over-dose, trying to make the consistency more even because I thought it was how it was supposed to be. Please pay attention to the portion size. In trying to get a better consistency, I put in 1/2 cup of powder, rather than the recommended 1/2 to 1 teaspoon with 1 glass of water.
