LF: Matcha or comparable green tea powder

[othy]

Hey all,

Lately I've become slightly hooked on Blenz coffee's "Matcha" drinks, especially the chilled blended version. I was going to get the matcha powder so I can just make it at home, but a tiny little tin is $28.95! Yow!

Anyone know of any cheaper alternatives that are similar?

Thanks for the links! Hmm, it looks like that price in the Blenz wasn't far off, comparing it to the Infuze site.. Perhaps I'll just spring for a tin there and see how long it lasts me..

Not to hijack this thread, but I didn't want to start my own.

I bought some grean tea powder from T&T Supermarket yesterday, and my question is, how much do I use for say a cup of tea? It seems to be highly concentrated. Half a teaspoon was way too much, is there way to measure this?

Not sure how much it costs, but ask Starbucks.


I get my matcha added to my Vivanno there.

Thanks Chr1s, I will try that. At this rate the stuff will last me forever! Not bad for $6 or so!
