Taste

Pros:

  • "Some match reigns superior to others, this is one of them. Tastes wonderful and blends perfectly."
  • "I usually add some into my milk and it taste better than bought in cafe."
  • "Follow the directions, and you’ll have a cup of matcha latte that tastes just like you walked out of Starbucks."
  • "It’s not only delicious but full of anti inflammatory properties, antioxidants and vitamins."
  • "I am so happy to have purchased this Jade Leaf Matcha Tea, I was able to make some today and it taste just like the one I get from Starbucks?!"
  • "The taste is great! Not too sweet but not too bitter."
  • "This matcha is so delicious and is similar enough to Starbucks that I no longer have to go there to get my lattes."

Cons:

  • "I find the taste of this mix to be quite weak, you need to add much more than a tbsp to make it tasteful."
  • "The flavor is not strong."
  • "Honestly, this is disgusting … this is not a quality matcha."
  • "Its more sugar than matcha to lay it out plain and simple."
  • "I wanted to like it but I just couldn't. I ordered all the utensils, special cup and even some expensive boutique matcha powder. This brand is more awful tasting than the boutique brand I tried later."
  • "It tastes and smells like grass and I couldn’t get past it."
  • "It tasted bitter but a bad kind of bitter."

Texture and Quality

Pros:

  • "This arrives in a foil pouch that once ripped open can be resealed with a ziplock closure."
  • "So delicious and perfectly sweet without the sugar."
  • "This organic matcha is made of fresh high quality ingredients."
  • "It blends quickly and the flavor is good."
  • "This is a very easy mix that blends up very smoothly - there is no grit or weird clumps."
  • "The grainy powder mixes very well. It dissolves quickly and completely when added to hot liquid."
  • "It’s easy to mix and it stays mixed."

Cons:

  • "Also the texture is horribly grainy and did not make for a smooth creamy drink."
  • "Its texture is not the same as pure matcha, probably due to how they had to incorporate collagen into the mix."
  • "The lattes were OK, but definitely inferior to ones made with the plain matcha powder - not as strong matcha flavor, tasted artificial sweetener, and not as creamy."
  • "When I simply mix it with water, I did notice some off taste, again probably due to collagen."
  • "Pouring the mix into the frothed and warm milk didn’t result in anything looking like the image on the package, despite my best efforts."
  • "The sugar crystals, however, are hard to dissolve in cold milk."
  • "Wouldn’t use it in cold water because it’s too hard to mix into it, still leaves the grit taste."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "Personally, I LOVE this brand for matcha, way cheaper to just buy this and have 15 servings for $10 than spending $5-$6 at a local coffee shop."
  • "The amount you get for your money is outstanding!"
  • "I buy matcha green tea lattes at Starbucks for $6.35 a few times a week. This is the same thing and I make it with almond milk for .40 each and there are 100 servings in the container."
  • "It's worth every penny."
  • "This product is great and affordable."
  • "Save yourself $5-8 from buying matcha at your local starbucks/boba place and just use this instant mix instead."
  • "So saves some money 💰."

Cons:

  • "A little pricey for a small bag but worth it."
  • "While this is pretty pricey for a small bag, it sure beats getting one at Starbucks every day."
  • "Mediocre for the cost."
  • "I literally just opened the container and it is literally HALF full."
  • "The bag is already tiny and yet I opened it to less than half full."
  • "3rd time purchasing and disappointed this time around. The container is more than a quarter empty."
  • "Super disappointing and I can’t even return it."

Health and Ingredients

Pros:

  • "I especially like that it is monkfruit sweetened, which keeps this in the low carb range for me."
  • "Collagen is also known to promote heart health, may boost muscle mass, may prevent bone loss, may relieve joint pain to name a few."
  • "The ingredients are great, it only contains organic matcha and grass-fed collagen. No sugar added."
  • "Don't forget the many health benefits of a green tea matcha."
  • "It even has Collagen which I wanted as well."
  • "This isn't a particularly flavorful mix; it's not very sweet nor does it have a strong flavor."
  • "Love this product. Delicious and healthy with no sugar added. Green tea and collagen, a terrific combination and delicious."

Cons:

  • "This product says sugar free in front of package, however, it contains erythritol which is a sugar substitute than can cause heart attacks."
  • "Matcha is supposed to clean you body of toxins, including sugar and alternative sweeteners."
  • "Not sure what’s wrong with this product, but it made my stomach, my sisters stomach, and our friends stomach hurt!!"
  • "You have to use at least like 4-5 spoons to get at least some sort of taste but it’s too sweet."
  • "Bought the unsweetened version, and it was super sweet and the sugar overpowering the matcha."
  • "However, they are making a pretty penny on fancy marketing when this isn't any better or more beneficial than plain matcha powder."
  • "Sweetener does NOT, EVER belong in Matcha."
