Barista’s Matcha Tea from My Matcha Life #VeganMoFo2016
Today’s prompt for Vegan MoFo 2016 is “If an alien showed up on your door step, what would you feed them?” I feel like I would whip up a wonderful matcha latte for several reasons. 1- The general look of an alien is that they are green and matcha is a fine ground green tea. And 2- Matcha’s are typically vegetal in flavor and for some reason I want to think that the alien that would show up at my door would be one that would have a similiar lifestyle as my vegan one!
I don’t live in a big city. I used to live in a medium-sized city while I was a child but that was way before trendy coffee shops and Barista were terms used in daily conversation and life. Recently I have been sipping on Barista’s Matcha Tea from My Matcha Life and totally LOVING it.
I know I shouldn’t judge a Matcha by it’s name but there is something special about Barista’s Matcha Tea from My Matcha Life and it goes beyond the name and title of the green tea powder.
The vibrant green color of the matcha powder is impressive upon opening the tin but the deep dark forest green color once you add the hot water is what really drew me in. Barista’s Matcha Tea from My Matcha Life offers the full Matcha experience from beginning to end.
Barista’s Matcha Tea from My Matcha Life smells vegetal but tastes creamy and green. The froth comes into play but disappears leaving the rich green quality matcha in the cup for me to admire. The sip is just as – if not more – impressive. Barista’s Matcha Tea from My Matcha Life is a pure delight!

PRODUCT REVIEW: Original Matcha Latte from Matcha Mountains
Where to Buy: Where Matcha Mountains Products Are Sold.
Product Description:
Our original mix is ideal for getting you going in the morning or as an afternoon “pick me up”. Our original mix is for people who like the taste of green tea, although a few drops of vanilla extract or syrup is great. Simply mix with hot water and add your favourite frothed milk product. This product has the highest portion of matcha per serving and has a thick creamy texture.
Taster’s Review:
Yum!
I love Matcha and have been drinking it for years (although I will say that in the last year or two I have been drinking more than I had in the previous years), but I must admit that Matcha Latte drinks are a bit new to me, having only tried my first Matcha Latte in the last year or so. But, since that time, I’ve been hooked!
This Matcha Latte mix has a sweetness to it, but it isn’t too sweet nor does it overwhelm the natural flavor of the green tea. I can taste the distinct bittersweet taste of the Matcha, which I really enjoy. This is incredibly creamy and energizing.
I love that this product is organic, and I also like that I can choose just how creamy I want this Matcha Latte to be by choosing my own milk – I can go with skim milk for less creaminess or I can really go for it and use half & half for an out of this world creamy experience. Or if I prefer a non-dairy option, I can use almond milk or rice milk, or even coconut milk!
This is a versatile, delicious treat! This product may be a little difficult to find since Matcha Mountains does not seem to sell it retail, however, it appears that it is sold in various Cafes and it is well worth the effort to find this latte mix because it’s outstanding!

Tasters Review:
Let me start this review off my saying…I’m a rebel child. I have a hard time following instructions. Especially with my teas! I like to do what I call a DOUBLE SHOT – twice the amount for the same amount of time. I was really tempted to with this but forced myself into following the instructions the first time I tried Teanobi’s Latte Matcha!
Therefore…I did 1 cup of hot milk with 1/4 tsp of this latte powder. It had a very pale aroma before adding to the milk and afterwards as well. I will say that the milk/powder color is beautiful! It reminds me of a “Grasshopper”. You know like the frozen-adult beverage type. This powder paired with the milk froths up very nice without much work at all! All I had to do was stir! There were a few small clumps which was more my measuring cups fault than this lovely powder and it was fairly easy to take care of with a few more stirs! No Problem!
This is VERY frothy and milky-smooth! It’s creamy, too! I noticed as it cools for a little bit at room temperature the flavor was enhanced slightly. I could taste more of the ‘green tea’ come thru. The green veggie type green tea that is…much like broccoli and along with the milk it sort of reminded me of cream of broccoli soup! It’s quite FAB!
I wanted to try this with Almond Milk but I didn’t have any. I used regular milk. I am also going to try this without milk and try it with water instead just to see the difference! And because I am a Rebel Child…will probably try a DOUBLE SHOT just for kicks!
I think this is a very good matcha powder product – I love that it was created with Latte’s in mind! This is very nice! And another winner from Teanobi!
