The matcha powder is stored inside a foil packet inside the tin. It’s smooth with no clumps while being a very vibrant shade of green. I normally make mine as a matcha latte but I’ve also thrown some of this matcha into my homemade lemonades and smoothies.
If you put a bit in your smoothie or lemonade, you won’t taste it but you will notice the same benefits as if you drank it as a latte. In a latte you will notice a green tea vegetable taste. It’s really yummy just don’t drink it on an empty stomach!
Matcha has a good dose of caffeine in it about 1/3 of the amount compared to coffee according to Do Matcha’s website. So that may factor in to whether or not you drink matcha.
I personally love a good matcha latte and this one isn’t sweetened by sugar which makes it even better. It froths pretty well so I have no complaints there either. You can buy it from their website, Amazon or with the Shop app.
