I was nervous to try this as I’m not a big fan of green tea but Courtney swears Matcha is delicious so I decided to give it a try. I blended the suggested scoop with 1 cup of almond milk plus 1 cup of ice… and zomg, it’s delicious! This will be my go-to frozen summer drink. :-) It’s creamy and sweet but not cloyingly sweet which makes it a perfect alternative to the sugar loaded frappes I sometimes crave.

Hehe. It’s also delicious in heated milk. Stephanie was the genius who thought up microwaving a mug of milk for just over 1 minute and whisking the matcha in. It works so well for certain ones. This was one of them, of course. :P
Well then, I better cover all of my bases by trying it warm tomorrow. I’m also going to see if I can infuse it in my whip cream maker… matcha with matcha whip cream. :D Have you tried the caramel popcorn yet? I’ll browse your ratings later tonight to see what other ones are good.
I haven’t tried that one, but everyone else seems to rave about it. Hmm, my favourites so far are Banana & Cream, French Butter Cream, Cheesecake, and Bavarian Cream has really grown on me over time too.
**French Butter Cookie.
Mmm…all of those sound good. It would be nice if they sold a Matcha Sampler.
I agree haha. They are quite expensive. You should definitely take advantage of the free monthly matchas since you’re in the US. This month it’s cheesecake I believe, and the shipping within the US should be cheap. :)
I have yet to try matcha as well.. Just got my first sample in the mail yesterday. I know we are quite a long ways apart, but I think shipping was $2 and something for the sample. I do ok with flavored green teas, but don’t reach for them often, so I’m like you in being a little a nervous about it… thinking ground tea leaves must give a strong flavor. Sounds like it went well for you.. I’ll have to give mine a try soon!
