Firstly, I received my matcha a day earlier than Amazon expected, which was awesome, I was so anxious to get it. The matcha came in neatly packaged with a note from the company who makes it.Secondly, the first thing I did was to make a cold cinnamon matcha smoothie with 2% milk. It was delicious! The matcha is a deep green color and had a very fine grain, there was hardly a difference between this and ridiculously expensive "ceremonial grade" matcha. This matcha, as long as it is properly sifted and mixed properly, will make beautiful drinks.I will definitely be ordering more of this when I run out but that won't be for a while- I ordered the 8oz bag. :)I can't wait to make matcha sugar cookies, and mocha cupcakes with matcha frosting. So many delicious possibilities!
