Matcha Latte Powder “HAJIME” Sweetened Matcha Green Tea Powder - Authentic Japanese Origin - Non MSG, Non GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free (1.1 Pound)

Smooth taste and easy to make. It dissolve nicely in room temperature water as well. I like that it’s already sweetened but it’s a bit too sweet. I wish there was a reduced sugar version. My son enjoyed it very much though.

If you’re a ⭐️Bucks girl and you want the most westernized, inauthentic version of matcha possible, get this. (The product is in fact from Japan, but it’s clearly made to appeal to a certain audience) If you look at the ingredients (which I failed to do, as I didn’t conflate “sweetened” with sugar with a bag of matcha colored sugar), it has a higher sugar content than matcha powder itself, which is why they can sell so much for so cheap relatively. Don’t be fooled. This makes it impossible to achieve a microfoam with it unless you use an absurd amount compared to your water and use an electronic tool to aid you and not a traditional chasen. You will run through it quickly because of the sheer amount you have to use for it to not be watery. The color isn’t bad at all for the price, however the match flavor itself is very faint. It has a slight grassiness but no umami or richness, nothing can be tasted over the sheer amount of sugar. The flavor is pleasant if you aren’t expecting proper matcha. If you just want a *slightly* matcha-like aftertaste to your green milk after you make a “latte”, then go ahead. Otherwise, just pay the extra bit for a better quality from another brand and add your own sweetness to taste.

I’m only giving four stars because I thought it was decent, but not great. But then again this is the first Matcha I’ve ever tried. Maybe I just don’t like Matcha that much? My girlfriend loves this stuff though. I put a little honey in it and some cream, all in all it was fine.

I recently returned from a trip to Japan. I mention this because this is where I drank Matcha tea for the first time. The fact that it comes in green powder form is amazing enough but after drinking a few over there, I will never go back to regular tea again. Since returning home I have located a distributor that gets it direct from Kyoto (where the tea is grown) Japan. I add honey and maple syrup to the hot tea and it is truly outstanding. Once you try it you will make it your favorite ❤️ GUARANTEED !!

Delicious and only contains sugar and matcha powder. I tried matcha for the first time at a cafe the other day and wanted to get some for home. This brand was recommended via another review of another matcha powder so I took a chance. It’s perfect. It’s light, it’s smooth, it’s not overpowering with sweetness. Highly recommended.
