@Dinosara: We recommend mixing with 1 cup of water. I personally use about a 3/4 cup of water so it’s not so much liquid, and I can slam it back in about 3 big sips.

I have finally tried matcha B … for me there was a CLEAR winner of the two. Are we allowed to share our opinions on this?

I liked matcha B a lot more too! I thought it was much smoother and had a really nice taste.

Oh no really? I actually liked Matcha A!! LOL.
I thought B was kind of bitter. :(
I may have to try them both again but that was my finding so far.
I am glad he sent plenty to try more than once. I wonder how soon he wants to make a decision.

I hope so – I am really interested in what everyone thought!

Me too!
Did you have a clear favorite?

BlueKittyMeow said 2012-09-25 12:44:22 -0400

I thought that A was a little more nutty and a little less vegetal. It seemed a little smoother than B.

BlueKittyMeow— we had similar reactions! I found things like that as well.

Ugh. I was looking forward to trying these but with the mail being the way it is I’m worried I won’t get them before vacation. :(

Sure hope you do!

Finally got a chance to try them both. Did anyone notice that one seemed clumpier than the other? Or was it just me?

yeah, i had issues getting that clumpy one out of the package!

Azzrian said 2012-09-25 12:19:25 -0400

B was clumpier for me. But was fine after sifting. I just liked the flavor of A more.

Small
BlueKittyMeow said 2012-09-25 12:43:36 -0400

I agree – I had more little matcha pellets after sifting with B.

Small
Babble said 2012-09-25 15:34:24 -0400

Okay, glad it wasn’t just me. Matcha B was definitely clumpier.

Small
Azzrian said 2012-09-25 17:09:23 -0400

It sounds like MOST people liked A over B. Not all but most. I can’t wait to hear from Red Leaf on which they will use if either.
