looking for a rich presweetened matcha... similar to tazo matcha (starbucks)

i’m a big fan of the green tea lattes at starbucks (that and the bathrooms are probably the only reason for going into a starbucks), and a few days ago i made a soy matcha latte with agave using some matcha powder i begged a friend to smuggle out of work for me. i tweeted about it with a picture a few days ago @teaspoonteabar (http://yfrog.com/h02woqij) i’ve tried, with no success, to locate this product online and with the exception of ebay ($35 an bag) can not find it any place. anyone have a good one they’re currently in love with?

Domo Tea has a few different flavoured matcha mixes. Here’s the link to the Products section of their website, though unfortunately the matcha seems to be out of stock at the moment: http://www.domotea.com/pages/products.php?category=1

I saw cartons of Tazo’s Green Tea Latte concentrate at my local Target.

:) Of course we are going to be slightly biased, but our matcha is pretty delicious! we have a powdered one as well as a fulll loose leaf tea filled with toasted goodness and unsweetened:

I love your teas, but the matcha worries me. The color is supposed to be a vibrant green. That may be the looking matcha I’ve seen in a picture.

I have not tried them, but you might want to check out Lupicia’s Matcha au Laits… they come in several flavors too.

I have tried the Lupicia Caramel au lait and it is quite delicious. I really really love it. However they always seem to be sold out.

I second that and you are right they are always out.

I agree DOMO has some awesome matcha powders – more than just green tea based, mind you!

I have not tried it, but Red Leaf Tea has a Stevia Matcha.
