In college, my friends and I used to have a habit of drinking those vitamin C drink mixes like they were going out of style. Looking back, I recognize now that they were maaaybe nothing more than glorified Kool-Aid, but we felt pretty smug as Well Hydrated Persons with Extra Vitamin’d Superpowers.
I’m not going to claim that this Sencha Naturals drink mix packet isn’t also slightly more than glorified Kool-Aid, but at the very least, this one’s got the addition of antioxidant-rich green tea in it, so I’m at minimum a little bit ahead of where college-Mary was in her vitamin-powered beverages.
I opted to mix this one up in cold water, 18 ounces instead of the prescribed 8-10. I found this to be a perfect balanced– a bit like iced tea, but still some kick from the flavor. If I’d made this one in half the water (as instructed), I think I might’ve felt it far too sweet. But diluted? It still had plenty of citrus-gingery flavor without the super-overdone sugar. The flavor was tart, but potent, with a bit of stevia aftertaste that I wasn’t super wild about, but also wasn’t the most offensive I’ve ever had. It was refreshing and would be the perfect quick summer iced-tea substitute, with the zing of the ginger taking it a notch above a store-bought iced tea bottle or mix.
Would I drink this one constantly? Probably not, though it may have more to do with my general now-adulting desire to get my vitamins from whole food sources. But does it make a lovely quick & easily accessible on-the-go drink when you need a mid-day pick-me-up with the benefit of some added vitamins and antioxidants? Absolutely. College-Mary would totally have these stocked in her backpack.
Here’s the scoop!

Original Matcha Latte from Sen Cha Naturals. . . . .
So far…I haven’t tried a product from Sen Cha Naturals I haven’t liked…or should I say…LOVED!? I figured it was about time I reviewed the Original Matcha Latte from Sen Cha Naturals.
Original Matcha Latte from Sen Cha Naturals is what the company calls ‘a true original’ because of the classic green tea latte with their own personal twist as it ‘goes nuts for coconut!’ Original Matcha Latte from Sen Cha Naturals is perfectly creamy, while still being bright and vegetal at the same time. I agree with their website and product description that Original Matcha Latte from Sen Cha Naturals is a decadent treat for matcha lovers and green tea novices alike.
Just like Sen Cha’s other Matcha Latte Products…it’s a frothy, matcha latte you can enjoy – with no milk required. They’ve once again done away with the diglycerides and hydrogenated nonsense for a cleaner version of the decadent drink mix. They say it’s a satisfying indulgence they’re sure you’ll find a whole latte better and I tend to agree!
With just a few ingredients this is REALLY impressive! Organic Coconut Sugar, Organic Coconut Oil, Algae Flour, Organic Matcha Powder, Green Tea & Vanilla Extracts. As you can see this is a gluten free product – as well as – a vegan labeled product, too!
I’ve enjoyed a cup each of the hot and cold method. For HOT just Mix 2 scoops with 8-10 oz of hot water and stir or shake. For ICED all you have to do is Mix 2 scoops with 8-10 oz of water and stir or shake. Pour over ice. BAM! There is your naturally creamy Original Matcha Latte from Sen Cha Naturals! YUMMO!

Original, Green Tea +C from Sen Cha Naturals
Original, Green Tea +C from Sen Cha Naturals is something pretty TEAriffic in my book and for SEVERAL reasons, too! You see – Original, Green Tea +C from Sen Cha Naturals – is a Vitamin C Daily Wellness Drink Mix made from whole food ingredients. 1 of those ingredients – and the very first ingredient – I must add – is Matcha Green Tea!
Upon opening the individual serving sized packet I saw that it looked like matcha powder, smelled more mellow with a speck of ginger, and then I got a little bit on my finger tip. I just HAD to try it. Original, Green Tea +C from Sen Cha Naturals – DRY – tastes and reminds me of those 80s powder candies where you dip the candy stick into a flavored sugar powder. Another 80s flash back that popped into my mind was Pixie Stix!
Original, Green Tea +C from Sen Cha Naturals was also a FUN product! At least for me it was – you see – I had a little science experience happen in my cup! I added water and it responded like a volcano! HAHA! LOVE it
Once Original, Green Tea +C from Sen Cha Naturals was in my cup and ready-to-go I noticed it smelled more like Matcha. It looked like Matcha would, too! It was even frothy!
This kind of TASTES like a Pixie Stix, too! But I really like the flavor! The ingredients are: Organic Matcha & Sencha Green Tea, Acerola Cherry, Citric Acid, Natural Sodium Bicarbonate, Ginger Root, Coconut Water Powder, Organic Orange Peel, Turmeric Root, Stevia. I’m always a little nervous when it comes to Stevia but it works in this and tastes GOOD. I think that paired with the Cherry makes it tart like Pixie Stix I remember from the 80s. I LOVE that they used Coconut Water Powder, too! Nice addition! The ginger root is noticeable but done nicely. I am thinking that it is cutting the Stevia and Cherry a bit, too! YUM! Yes! The more I drink this the more I am LOVING it!
The BEST part – other than it being from Whole Foods – it’s also VEGAN, Gluten Free, and Non-GMO! I can’t wait to try the other flavors! Original, Green Tea +C from Sen Cha Naturals surprised me more than once and I applaud that!
