Ssanggye Green Tea Powder 40g, Pure Ceremonial Grade Authentic Korea Premium Matcha Finely Ground Tea Leaves only Great Daily Drink for 4 Seasons and Gift made in Korea

Tastes great for making matcha drinks at home. I like the can design too, the powder comes out pretty easily.

Ssanggye is a well known tea brand in South Korea and I had high hopes for their matcha since I was looking for a matcha produced in South Korean Jeju island, but the taste is too mild (not the taste of ceremonial matcha) even though I used a lot of matcha on my matcha latte. Also, the color is a darker green which I am wondering if it’s from over roasting it (not sure). Will go with another South Korean brand next time. Other teas from this brand are great though.

Famous person brand green tea.It is good for making ice green tea with honey.Good caffeine & blood vessel cleanser.

I decided to try this Korean matcha powder instead of repurchasing the much more expensive Japanese brand I usually buy. I'm not a 'tea snob' and I didn't expect the quality to be the same, given the difference in price. But this was just so much worse. Starting with the color of the powder. It's a kind of olive drab color. Not the vibrant chlorophyll rich green you get with quality Japanese matcha. It doesn't mix well. Even after passing it through a strainer to sift it, it tends to stay clumped once wet with even the strongest whisking. The best word I can use for the flavor is 'muted.' It is full bodied... just kind of lacking. Like a soda that has gone flat. You do get a lot of matcha powder with this and I love the container it comes in. In fact, I will be reusing the container... just with some Japanese matcha.

Very good!
