Caramel Matcha Green Tea Powder Review

January 13, 2014




I am a lover of green tea...heck, I am a lover of tea. I love tea because of the antioxidants. It also soothes me. Most people have a tea jar but I truly have tea shelf. So, I was more than happy to give this product a try. Plus, I saw Caramel listed as the flavor...need I say more?

I was recently received the Caramel Matcha Green Tea Powder for review purposes. I will admit that it took me a bit to give it a try. The powder is bright green and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not. I was afraid of being disappointed. However, I did try it out and I wanted to share my thoughts.


The Basics:

Four sizes are available: Small- 30gr, Large - 60gr, 2 Larges & 1 Small, or 3 Larges & 1 Small
Prices vary depending on size. 30 gram - $15.99
The tea is offered on the Red Leaf Tea site. There a numerous flavors and you can chose your desired strength of tea.

The caramel matcha is perfect for those with an unrepentant and unwavering sweet tooth. The tea blends the eastern traditions of matcha with the modern caramel flavor to create a delicious tea. This tea is perfect any time of day, as a mid-morning snack, before lunch, or after dinner. The toned-down caramel matcha is ideal for those who need a sweet tea without adding any extra sugar.

Caramel matcha was created with the whole family in mind.  Children will love its sweet and easy-to-drink flavor. The adults would find its ability to bring its full-bodied appeal in night time get-togethers, very useful. Caramel matcha is the drink for all seasons and can be used to bring people together in both winter and summer.

The Review:

I received a smaller size; however, you only need 1/2 tsp per serving. The package will last for a few drinks. I believe it makes four drinks.


Now, let me say the first thing I noticed when I opened the package was the smell. It was heavenly. Seriously! It smell like caramel. I had an oh my God moment! The smell made me excited to finally try it.

The package came with a pamphlet with the varieties of teas, benefits, company history, and other information. Attached to the packet were the instructions with a picture.




I prepared the matcha as a cold drink. I followed the enclosed instructions on using the powder to create a frappuccino. I don't drink regular milk. I only drink unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I am not sure how much it changed the taste but I could still taste the almond milk in the drink. So, I decided to add a little more powder. I didn't need to add anything. I loved the matcha the way it was but I was curious.

It tastes exactly how it smells. It tastes like a caramel candy. The powder blended well and the texture was great.


I will finish this package off because I definitely like it. I think the description is correct that you can use it to satisfy your sweet tooth. You have the caramel flavor without sugar. Did I mention each serving is only 4 calories? Oh yeah! I can't wait to try some of the other flavors.

I have another product from Red Leaf Tea that I can't wait to try. We will chat about that next week.




I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. All views are my own honest opinions. I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Oh it was. It reminds you of a Werther's candy without the sugar. For some reason the word clean comes to mind.
