Matcha - Powdered Green Tea

You described this tea as smooth and sweet. It was anything but. Only someone who has never tasted quality matcha could have promoted this tea as having any quality whatsoever. I was skeptical that a tea such you described could be had for price at which you offered it and my skepticism was justified. This tea is the first disappointment I have had from Silk Road. I appreciate your offerings and have been buying from you for several years. I did send you an email, which I will forward again, asking for a refund. This tea might be suitable for mixing with other flavors but by itself, served in the classic matcha way, it is extremely unsatisfying. I could not drink it and since I don't make mixed matcha drinks, it's useless to me.

We were excited to try this new matcha tea by Silk Road teas. We were very disappointed with this matcha tea. We’ve tried matcha tea before and love matcha tea. This tea was very bitter and the aroma was not pleasant. We tried it several different ways, varied the temperature, decreased the amount of matcha used all to no avail. We have been loyal customers of Silk Road Teas for YEARS and have never complained about you wonderful teas. But, this matcha tea does not match other matcha teas that we have grown to love.

I’ve been drinking coffee since I was 11 years old but a year ago I switched to Matcha and I’m very happy with it. Thank you Silk Road Teas! I like the taste + price + your speedy delivery.

It’s good but if one adds milk or soy or sweetener anyway - this is a bang for your buck, if one is spoiled with first picked spring harvest ... well we get what we pay for. Personally I buy this due to the quality organic and dollar value

I tried this Matcha and I am not disappointed. Generally, Matcha teas are of high cost so I was not too worried of the price tag. This tea is not the highest grade I had in my life but a pretty good option for every day use - it is lighter (less of the "green" taste of other Matcha) and to me, it makes a perfect morning smooth awakening brew. Its sweeter taste also makes a great option for matcha cold drinks or a matcha crepe desert (Lady M Cake inspired). Tip: For hot drinks, I have never been able to properly prepare and mix matcha without a chasen (bamboo whisk) and I recommend one , really the only way to get that foam on top.

This is not good quality matcha tea. I was not expecting the highest grade, considering the cost, but this is below par matcha tea which would be best for baking. If you are new to matcha, this tea will suffice, but if you have any experience with matcha you will not like this. I really wanted to enjoy this tea, but there are many other brands that are better for the same price. I like Silk Road teas, but not a fan of this tea.

My wife and I have been purchasing Matcha from Teavana for 6 years, but upon hearing that they are going to close, I decided to look for a new brand. The Silk Road Matcha is a much finer grind, much deeper in color, and a sweeter flavor. Also, a better value. Very happy with my new tea.
