Customer Reviews
I was a little hesitant at first to buy this starter size pouch because of the price. I wanted good quality but kept asking myself, ‘What if I don’t like it?’ The company offers a 100% refund on their product so I went for it. Problem solved! RANT: The biggest complaint I see from people on here is in regards to the amount you are getting for the price. They are not reviewing the quality of the item within the packaging or the flavor, etc. If you don’t review the actual product and focus only on the quantity or packaging, the review is mostly worthless. As consumers, we get enough worthless reviews that are paid for, we don’t need more worthless reviews because people only want to focus on the quantity and packaging and not review the quality. All are important in a review but the quality should be what is focused on. Why is that that because it is a smaller size, people feel entitled to receive it for next to nothing? These are probably the same people that pay almost $2 for a 20 oz bottle of soda while the 2 liter bottle is only $1 and they don’t bat an eyelash. What they fail to understand is that making smaller sizes like this is not very cost effective for them to make. It probably costs them the same, or close to the same amount of money to purchase the bags they use for this size as it does for a larger size. These sampler sizes don’t sell as well either. Unlike the bottle of soda that is ‘personalized’ in size for the consumer to grab and go, this is a product that takes time and effort for the consumer to prepare. It is not meant to be a personalized size. If it were, people would have no problem paying for the convenience. How many people have purchased an actual vanilla bean? Or saffron? Or truffles? No one seems to have a problem paying a high price for these items but complain about $10 for 30g of quality culinary matcha. Just like those items, a little matcha goes a long way. It depends on how you plan to use it. If you are going to bake with it, buying a starter size is not cost effective for you. If you are using it to make a tea latte, which is why I bought it, this is still gives you enough for 15 lattes that are 16 oz in size making them roughly $1.63 each (my recipe for this is below). Costs will vary depending on your ingredients of choice, and the area you live in. My numbers are based on $10 for 15 servings of this matcha and $0.08 per oz of organic vanilla almond milk in Austin, TX. Go to a coffee shop and you will pay at least $5 for a matcha latte of the same size, which is yet another thing buyers won’t complain about. REVIEW/COMparison: I used to hate the taste of Matcha but after years of taste bud readjustment, I decided to give it another try at Starbucks. They use Teavana brand for their lattes which is like Jade Leaf and does not use fillers and is organic. I try to avoid dairy so I used almond milk for my iced latte instead. Neither their tea or almond milk is sweetened so I added 3 pumps of vanilla to their venti size (they usually use 6 if you want it sweetened). Something about their almond milk leaves a bad aftertaste but before that hit, it was really good. Like most people, I can’t afford $5 a day for one of these so I decided to buy the powder to make on my own at home (I was a barista in a former life so I often do this with my coffee concoctions too). What I don’t like about the Teavana brand is that it is much more expensive ($25 for 40g) and they claim it is ceremony
Experiencing the Difference with High-Quality Matcha I was immediately struck by the improvement in quality with this matcha. It provides a clear, sustained energy without the uncomfortable, jittery sensation that I have experienced with lower-quality options. Drinking this matcha made me incredibly productive and focused, and the taste is absolutely fantastic when mixed with almond or tigernut milk. Although the pouch isn’t particularly large, it lasted me several months because I savored every single serving. In contrast, when I tried a lower-quality matcha, it failed to agree with my body and I couldn’t even finish it. That packet remains untouched. If you are comparing quality and quantity, I would strongly recommend choosing the higher-grade matcha. You will notice the difference in terms of taste, the way it feels in your body, and its ability to boost focus. I will definitely be repurchasing this one soon!
