AIYA SINCE 1888 Matcha To Go - 10 Packets Per Box (1 Box)

I am planing trip to Europe, needed instant matcha to keep me up and energetic; bought single box of Aiya to try before buying enough for the whole trip for my family. Was impressed by absence of high bitterness and some unpleasant substates associated with culinary grade matcha (one finds a lot of it in Elan matcha that is very inexpensive), beautiful after taste and aroma and deep green colour. I have emptied one pack into a milk frother (Secura, bought here on Amazon; short cut for quickly made matcha) and the taste was great and the foam was exceptional. I am never buying culinary grade matcha again, there is simply no fun in drinking it, unless you put tons of milk and sugar so you do not feel the matcha taste anymore. Highly recommend and I am ordering more of the Matcha to Go now.

A coworker gave me a couple packets of this when I mentioned that I liked drinking matcha. I love how easily it dissolves in water. There are no weird clumps - just smooth from start to finish. It's especially convenient that it's the perfect amount for a standard 16oz water bottle. I haven't tried drinking plain matcha hot without making it a latte, but I really have enjoyed this one cold or room temp without adding anything to it without a problem; it tastes great as is to me. Plus for using ceremonial grade matcha!

This matcha is a very dark green; yes, it's better than some other brands, but it is NOT the bright green mathca you'd expect (as pictured on the box). The taste is average and slightly bitter. I regret buying it as it's not eligible for return. The reviews are misleading, I'd stay away. Unfortunately there's no cheaping out on matcha.

This is the best beverage on the planet. If you love green tea and strong flavors, I highly recommend this product. The "to go" packets are great for on-the-go - just pour it in a water bottle and you're ready to feel alert, focused, and energized without the horrible feeling of dehydration and the dreaded caffeine crash you'd typically experience with coffee. I buy this on a regular basis and use it as a substitute for coffee - I feel great and never need to drink more than one or two (and I've been a huge caffeine addict the majority of my life). This isn't some weird energy drink - it's just a healthy alternative to them. It's doing your body good, guys. In the morning, I usually drink a protein shake (some brand from Whole Foods...it's not one of those "GET READY TO GET PUMPED" protein shakes - not like that's even relevant information) and I add a packet of this in and it's an all-in-one great start to the day. I swear by matcha. It's a magical substance. It tastes great (it tastes like strong green tea without the bitterness, but if you're into sugar, it's really great for smoothies or add some honey). I highly recommend this to anyone who is in search of a routine change or break away from other caffeinated beverages. Get ready to get focused with the world's most magical healthy beverage - Matcha. Oh, on a side note, I've tried other brands, and this tasted the freshest. Once you go with Aiya, it's hard to accept the other brands... it's high quality stuff.

Love this product. Sometimes I pour a packet into a water bottle and just shake it up with a little sweetener. I find that diluting it a bit increases the palatability. Sometimes I make myself a hot latte with a little milk and sweetener. Sometimes I add it to a homemade smoothie. Delicious! Though the flavor can be a little overpowering. I’m glad I only drink it a few times a week though because it’s rather expensive. I love the convenience of the packaging; it makes drinking this health food a more likely event than it would be otherwise.
