Review: Stop complaining about the size and review the actual product! (Rant, Review, & Recipe) - 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. Consumers are so spoiled and don't understand the costs associated with what it takes to import, pay the farmers a fair wage, the manpower and materials it takes to package the product, etc. I can guarantee you however, if a fair wage is not paid, someone is bound to call the 5:00 news! If you want sample sizes, fair wages, and the like, the consumer is going to have to pay for them or the company will go out of business really fast. 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. OK, RANT OVER...ON TO THE REVIEW! 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 ceremonial grade and yet, it looks and tastes exactly like Jade Leaf's culinary grade. In the brief research I did before buying, not a single self-proclaimed matcha aficionado EVER said to use ceremonial grade for a latte. They all very plainly stated that it was NOT for culinary use and that the taste is quite different. It is also higher in chlorophyll so it is a much brighter green color. That begs the question as to why Teavana, which looks and tastes the same as Jade Leaf is labeled ceremonial grade and being used for lattes when it is clearly the same culinary grade. This morning, I made my first iced latte with this stuff from Jade Leaf. Using an organic, vanilla (sweetened) almond milk I found it was perfectly sweet and still had the very slight hint of the bitterness that comes from green tea. No weird almond milk aftertaste like the one from Starbucks. Needless to say, in the end, I will be buying this again in a larger size. It does say to store it in the fridge so that is where mine went when I was done with it. I plan to do a juice fast soon and a few recipes I have seen call for green tea for an extra metabolic and antioxidant boost. I plan to use this instead since it is so much more nutritionally dense than regular tea leaves. RECIPE: They offer some recipe options on their desertcart listing and also on their website, but this was my super simple one that I threw together and was delicious. Iced Matcha Vanilla Almond Latte: 4 oz (1/2 c) hot water (not boiling but barely steaming to help dissolve the matcha easily) 1 tsp Jade Leaf Organic Matcha 12 oz (1-1/2 c) cold vanilla flavored almond milk, or other milk of choice Sweetener of choice, to taste (optional, I don't use any because my almond milk is already sweetened) Ice cubes NOTE: Sweetening options will have to be done at different steps depending on what you are using. If you are using liquid sugars like Torani or homemade simple syrups, those can go in at any time. Honey, agave, coconut nectar, sugar, and artificial sweeteners, should be blended in when you whisk the matcha into the hot water otherwise they will not dissolve properly and will settle at the bottom of the cup. 1. In a glass measuring cup, add 4 oz hot water. 2. Add 1 tsp of matcha powder and whisk together (see note for adding optional sweeteners) 3. Pour into a 16-20 oz cup over a few ice cubes to cool it. 4. Top off with the 12 oz vanilla almond milk (or other milk of choice) and stir to blend. Add more ice if desired. ENJOY Y'ALL!
Review: Teahouse Edition is delicious! - So I’ve been very big into making my matchas at home and I’ve tried many different matchas, especially ones I can find locally. The Jade Leaf brand seems to be the only one in the stores near me. But they only have the matcha latte (which I would not recommend) and the culinary grade which is pretty good! But I wanted to branch out and try something a little different and I did research and decided to go with the tea house edition! I thought the culinary grade was so yummy and green, especially compared to the other ones I’ve tried but when I got the teahouse edition, I will never go back to the culinary grade! Don’t get me wrong it was very yummy and nice that I could just run to the store and get more but since trying a better quality matcha, I can’t bring myself to go back! I definitely think if you haven’t tried any amazing matcha powders, the culinary grade really isn’t bad! But I wouldn’t recommend if you’ve tried bright green yummy tasting matchas! I still had a pack of the culinary grade which is pictured, I never realized how dark it was until I purchased the teahouse edition! I really did think it was pretty green but I think that explains how crappy the matchas I’ve tried used to be! I’m sure there’s better matchas out there but out of all the ones I’ve tried, the teahouse edition is by far the best one and I will continue to get it for as long as I can! (The one in the tin is the teahouse and the one in the packet is the culinary grade)

Indulge in this exceptional blend, which offers exceptionally smooth with mild nuttiness & umami notes
- FRESH AUTHENTIC MATCHA: Sourced directly from the pristine tea fields of Uji and Kagoshima, Japan, where less than 1% of tea fields in Japan are certified organic. Our matcha is stone-ground to perfection, preserving its vibrant green color and rich flavor.
- BENEFITS: Our matcha may offer a steadier and more sustainable source of energy compared to coffee, without the jitters or sudden crashes. This is due to the combination of naturally occurring L-theanine and caffeine in matcha powder, which has been shown to promote a calm and focused state while providing a consistent energy boost. Matcha contains a class of antioxidants called Catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), believed to help prevent free radicals in the body.

- FLAVOR PROFILE: Exceptionally smooth with mild nuttiness and umami notes, and with 30-40mg of caffeine per serving, it's less caffeine than an 8-ounce cup of coffee.
- HOW TO USE: Ideal for traditional tea ceremonies to make Usucha or Koicha, it can also be used in modern recipes such as lattes, smoothies, and baking, adding a unique flavor and nutritional boost. Start by making a matcha shot by whisking half to 1 teaspoon of matcha powder in a tea bowl with 2 ounces of warm water (just under boiling). Combine your matcha shot in a glass or cup with hot or cold water or your favorite milk to make a delicious matcha latte or drink!
- JADE LEAF MATCHA: Jade Leaf is proudly the #1 Matcha brand in the US*. We source our matcha directly from family-owned partner farms across the Uji and Kagoshima regions. Our tea masters fuse traditional and modern techniques to cultivate leaves brimming with flavor and nutrients, creating well rounded flavor blends, not found anywhere else.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tasty leaf powder
*by K***I on January 1, 2026*

Honestly love this matcha powder. Feels like I've had it forever and it's still good. I got a tiny bag to try it (both to drink and to bake with, and it makes really good matcha banana bread and matcha lattes), then got a big bag later. With the big bag, it came as a big resealable bag, and inside of that bag was a foil-sealed bag, so it's double the protection. I keep mine closed and clipped shut inside of the foil bag in a dark, cool cabinet, and I've had zero issues. No mold, bugs, rot, or musty tasting powder at all. It also isn't clumping or anything, it does great. A little does go a long way, be careful with measurements, and mix thoroughly, because it will clump up otherwise. I got the little bamboo whisk and it does help to blend it, but a regular whisk would do the trick, too. I've also added it to protein shakes and it blends well in the shaker bottle, too. Speaking from experience: accidentally ingesting a clump of matcha powder is pretty foul, so I recommend making sure you mix thoroughly. :) Tl;dr: great to drink, mix in protein shakes, or bake with. Mix thoroughly to avoid clumps. Keep tightly sealed and store in a cool, dark, dry place and you shouldn't have problems for longevity.
