Smooth and Convenient Matcha Latte Mix
Flavor Name: Original, Size: 17.6 oz (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Original, Size: 17.6 oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been trying to make matcha lattes at home more often, so I decided to try the Jade Leaf Matcha Latte Mix. Overall, I’ve been really happy with it. The powder mixes easily with both hot and cold milk, and it dissolves fairly well with a small whisk or milk frother. The flavor is smooth with a balanced sweetness, which makes it easy to drink without needing to add extra sugar. I like that it’s convenient for quick drinks. When I don’t have time to measure multiple ingredients, I can just add a scoop, mix it with milk, and it’s ready in a minute or two. It works well for both hot matcha lattes and iced versions. The container is also a good size, so it lasts quite a while even if you make matcha regularly. The matcha flavor still comes through nicely without being too bitter. Overall, this has been a simple and enjoyable way to make matcha drinks at home, and it’s a good option for anyone who enjoys café-style matcha lattes.

Makes the Best Cold Matcha Drinks
Flavor Name: Original, Size: 17.6 oz (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Original, Size: 17.6 oz (Pack of 1)
I got the barista matcha latte because I heard it blends well in cold drinks. I made a lavender cream matcha with it more than once now & each one was so delicious. I liked it better than Starbucks Iced Lavender Cream Matcha and not as sweet as theirs imo. I plan to try making more drinks with it in the future when I purchase it again.

Good matcha and way cheaper than Starbucks and taste the same
Flavor Name: Original, Size: 5.3 oz (Pack of 1)
This matcha tastes pretty good and has a nice, smooth flavor. Unlike some matcha products, it doesn’t have an overly grassy or bitter taste. Instead, it tastes more like a matcha latte, making it enjoyable and easy to drink. It is definitely on the sweeter side, and you can tell that sweeteners have been added. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the extra sweetness, but that’s more of a preference than a quality issue. Overall, it still tastes like real matcha and makes for a pleasant drink. If you enjoy sweeter matcha lattes, you’ll probably like this product. While I would have preferred a less sweet version, I still found it enjoyable overall.
