 Wonderful Matcha FlavorOct 04, 2009
By M. K. Blue
I have been using matcha tea for about a year now. Stash Japanese Matcha Powdered Green Tea is the third brand that I've tried. It is my favorite thus far. The color is exquisite and the flavor is pure matcha. Being able to pick this up as a subscribe and save adds to its attraction.
I have begun adding matcha to my morning smoothie on those mornings when I don't make it hot to ensure that I get all those lovely bioflavinoids. It is actually a nice addition to the vanilla flavored smoothie. One piece of advise: if you are adding the green to a vanilla drink, don't add colorful fruit. It makes a dreadful gray color which is far from appetizing.

Good value - maybe not the highest quality for drinking straightMar 07, 2010
By J. Krishnaswami
This is a great price, and good for cooking/blending in smoothies. With hot tea, still enjoyable, but the taste is a little sub par in quality compared to some of the "finer" matcha products. For example, I wouldn't recommend drinking this "alone" with hot water as in a traditional japanese hot matcha tea; I'd add some looseleaf green or a tea bag to bring out the true flavor. Other matchas that I've tried, to contrast, stand up on their own (and a little goes a long way - unlike this matcha, where I felt I was adding more to get the same "green" taste.)
The correct way to prepare is to add a bit of powder to an empty cup, add some hot (not boiling) water and stir briskly with a bamboo whisk or fork until blended. You can then add hot milk, more water, etc to your taste.
This also tastes great mixed into yogurt, milk/berry smoothies. It's a small tin - note the 1.06 ounce size - but this is pretty standard for matcha. Using the subscribe and save feature knocks off more dollars off the price (compare to $30+ at Whole Foods for rishi brand matcha, same size).
Overall, it's definitely a very good product, unless you're a super-discerning tea drinker - and I recommend it!

Awesome!Jan 14, 2010
By P. Erskine

I tried the DoMatcha. The green one wasn't very good and the red one was alright. But Stash beats both hands down. Stash Matcha has a smoother flavor than the DoMatcha. I think it tastes better and mixes better as a Matcha latte.

Iced Green Tea latteJul 18, 2011
By Manish
I love the Starbucks iced green tea latte. So when I found this, I was extatic. The power is great, tastes great too, just like I bought it from Starbucks. The only thing is that it does not mix well with a spoon when you put it in milk. I use a blender and that works great.
