Rich, creamy and sweet micronized Mulberry leaves to make a CAFFEINE-FREE Matcha style drink.
Calling this drink a ‘Matcha alternative’ is doing it a bit of a disservice. It is a delicious tisane in itself which can be used in exactly the same way as Matcha – to make Usucha, Koicha or be blended with milk to make a Latte. It is caffeine-free so it is the perfect substitute to Matcha for your early morning or evening drink.

Because of the price, matcha shortage, and my desire to be quirky and different and non-conforming to the trends (ive bee, I have been searching for alternatives to my favorite tea powder. I’d say this is the closest thing I’ve tried. After opening the pouch, I was immediately hit with a cloud of finely ground leaves that smelled exactly like matcha. I whisked it with a small amount of cool water, resulting in a liquid of relatively mucilaginous viscosity. When I tasted it, yep, the first notes were just like matcha. Afterward, it got a bit too vegetal and pond scummy for my liking, though not awful. Tried it again with oat milk and honey, helped with the displeasing aftertaste. It was priced half-off, which I think is because I bought it a year after its harvest, which is probably why it didn’t taste like pudding and avocado as advertised. I’ll review it again once I get this year’s harvest.
texture: kinda silty, not gritty, but smooth soft particles, you can tell it’s really super finely ground leaves. and yeah viscous, more slimy, doesnt froth up, just has big mucilaginous bubbles
taste: like matcha. doesnt have a tannic taste like matcha at all, not tannic or astringent, but a bit of bitterness in a dried vegetable way if you get what im saying. i do taste a hint of unripe avocado, the flesh close to the skin, even with a bit of the skin mixed in. a bit of spinach. natural tinge of sweetness. very green.
yeah in conclusion, really promising expectation fulfilling start, letdown end, but letdown end isnt there if you make it a sweetened latte, but i still have hope for plain milkless fresh harvest

Bought this slightly on a whim and slightly for the health benefits that I think will help my mom. It is very similar to matcha, however, if you drink a lot of matcha like me you will be able to tell the differences. It whisks nicely but doesn’t froth. Which is fine. Something about a frothy herbal drink seems weird to me. It is not as vibrant as I thought but the color is still quite beautiful. The mouthfeel is silty but very smooth. The flavor is overall vegetal with an overlaying creaminess.
