This week: Jade Monk Matcha Green Tea Powder - "Palau Peach" & "Chai Spice"
Cost: $7.99 for 6 packets. I got them on sale at Central Market in Austin for $5.99
Caffeine: Yes
Type of tea: Matcha green tea
Ingredients: Evaporated Cane Sugar, (Chicory) Root Fiber, Japanese Matcha Green Tea, Natural Flavor, Citric Acid, Certified Organic Stevia Extract Powder (Stevia rebaudiana)(leaf), White Tea Extract
Steeping time: "Shaking time": 2 minutes. That clump/ball of ingredients took its time dissolving.
completely.
Add ins: Water
Fragrance: Peachy and cinnamon/clove
Opinion: Cool box design, but. . . Ugh, I wanted to like this. I like matcha green tea and all its antioxidant and other health benefits. And it is manufactured in Austin, Texas. I like to support the home team. I also liked the portability idea. Both smelled great. But both tasted just awful. Especially "Palau Peach." It was very peachy at first and not sweet (good), but then it had a very strong Stevia? Chicory? aftertaste (bad). "Chai Spice" was a little bit better, but the cloves overpowered it. Their website suggested mixing in it other items like milk, ice cream and yogurt. I'm not even going to bother trying.
