Similar to our Ceremonial Matcha, Matcha To Go is intended to be used exclusively with water to enjoy its pure, smooth tea flavor.Ĭold: Add contents of 1 stick to a 16.9 oz (500 ml) water bottle and shake until the Matcha is well mixed. With approximately half the caffeine found in a cup of coffee, enjoy the smooth, natural energy boost of Matcha for 3 to 6 hours. By blending Matcha with dietary fiber, we reduce clumping, one of the natural effects of Matcha preparation. No need for sifting or whisking simply add one stick to cold or hot water, then quickly shake or stir to enjoy Matcha anytime, anywhere. And if not, it’s pretty good as a latte.Aiya’s Matcha To Go Sticks pack a unique blend of traditional Ceremonial Grade Matcha in a convenient single-serving stick. I wouldn’t say it’s award-winning top quality but based on my latte experience I think I could probably stand to drink this one straight as “thin tea”. I made my latte with quite a lot of matcha and no sweetener and there was no harsh bite. Chemistry and physics were never my favorite things…but it seems like larger particles would be heavier and more prone to settling out). There wasn’t really much powder that settled to the bottom of my cup, which also makes me think it’s ground more finely (maybe? I dunno. ![]() Aside from the lumpy bits in the bottom of my cup, it felt smooth enough to make me think Aiya might grind their matchas finer than some of the other grocery store or budget-friendly brands. At least until I got to the lumps in the bottom because I forgot to sift the tea and my milk frother didn’t manage to break up all the clumps. ![]() My skepticism didn’t stop me from rescuing several tins of Aiya ceremonial grade when a local store discontinued it, though.Īfter going through a pouch of the Jade Lead culinary grade that I probably should have used for baking or something instead of lattes, the Aiya was super smooth. And I’m generally skeptical of “ceremonial grade” grocery store matcha since it seems like almost every ground tea, no matter how low the quality or if it’s even actual matcha, is labeled ceremonial grade matcha in the US. I probably should have tasted this matcha on its own first but it was an older tin so I wasn’t sure if the flavor had degraded at all and I was in the mood for a latte. ![]() If I could afford it, an everyday drink for sure, and my current matcha winner! I love this matcha, it’s tasty, more vegetal than buttery but not unpleasantly strong. It stays together and does not require re-whisking or have any chalky texture. As a result, more and more cafes now offer teas and tea-based smoothies or lattes. Many have started using teas to fit the bill. I find it to taste a lot like domatcha, and similar in color. As the global population becomes more health conscious, drink makers have been looking for better alternatives to coffee based beverages. It tastes wonderfully of vegetal, grassy, underlying buttery and most importantly fresh. I do keep it in the fridge and I understand this lessens frothy-ness. Sifted and whisked at 175, it doesn’t froth for me much differently than the rest, good amount of small bubbles to cover the surface of the bowl. I have had Domatcha and Pure comparative grade matchas in addition to this. I have a bowl or two a day, so this task has taken a bit of time, as I finish a tin before I order another. Shortly after I found matcha, I began a search for the best ~$30 tin I could find. ![]() I should probably start of by saying Matcha is my favorite tea, followed by oolongs and various blacks. ![]()
