Best for
  • • Budget iced and hot lattes
  • • Baking, smoothies and desserts
  • • Latte drinkers who want a bolder, nutty Yame matcha
  • • Trying the café-brand hype at home
Strengths
  • About $0.73 per 2 g serving
  • USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified
  • Bold flavor that survives milk, syrups and baking
  • Rich, savory Yame profile that stands out from Uji-style blends
  • Cultivars and region disclosed
  • Built for lattes but complex enough to drink straight
Watch-outs
  • Bitter and harsh as straight usucha
  • Second-harvest leaves; Jade Leaf positions it for recipes and lattes, not straight tea
  • About $3.60 per 2 g serving in a 20 g tin
  • Flavor can get lost with plant milks
