So I have a pound of this. I got sucked into the free shipping.
Coconut flavour, distinctive level of flavouring.
SO. GOOD. Yes, it’s sweet, but it’s not too sweet. A little sweeter than an unsweetened (ie: no syrup) green tea latte at Sbux, but some of that might be the coconut flavour, as I found the flavour quite sweet even in the plain matcha.
Distinctive is enough. Next time I might even just go for the base flavour level! This tastes like delicious coconut baked goods. Yum. This will be an excellent alternative to plain matcha in my morning smoothies, and it’ll be even smoother (I have a cheap blender) with the addition of 1/4 banana. OMG, this might be amazing with rum. And banana. And maybe a squeeze of lime. Uh oh!
I weighed 15g, as the scoop was quite compacted and I wanted to be sure I wasn’t using too much. 200ml soy milk, 4 large ice cubes. If I was making a shaken drink instead of a blended one, I’d use more milk or less powder.

I have never tried matcha ( and am not drawn to trying it ….those green bubbles….tasty? …..I don’t know….) but I so want to find a good caramel tea……this one sounds……super dee-lish…….
lilysmom – if you like black tea try the caramel assam from butiki. you might find it to be your sweet spot. If you prefer green teas, try the caramel cream from purearoma.
Kittenna, yes. A pound. 16 oz. 30 servings. Muahahahaha. Considering I’ve had matcha every morning for the last two weeks, this will go pretty quickly…
Lilysmom, if you’re not drawn to matcha, I wouldn’t bother. Definitely save your pennies for a Butiki order. Just my portion of the group order is ~$100. Umm.
Don’t be alarmed, Kittenna! It is the kind with sugar already added, so it is only thirty servings! :)
I grabbed the caramel. I had some today but it was still a bit powdery – I guess I didn’t blend it enough, even though I still enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to trying it again tomorrow!
nice! glad you’re enjoying them
Having a blender at home to easily make cold drinks makes me want ALL THE MATCHA! Pretty dangerous!

I blend quite a bit because I like to add a little banana, and ice, and my blender is super cheap. :)
