I LOVE caramel. So of course, the first flavored matcha I buy would HAVE to be caramel, right? I bought this with the robust flavor, and I sprang for the royal grade as well; maybe next time I will order regular grade to compare?
First, shipping was lightning fast getting here, less than a week. I loved that I was able to enjoy my matcha quickly. Also, when I opened the package the smell of caramel immediately filled my dorm room, which was AWESOME! Like an instant febreze!
The matcha is smooth and creamy. Another reviewer said that the flavor does not smack you in the face, and I agree; it is more subtle. There were absolutely no grains on the bottom of the cup, amazing! Still getting the hang of whisking however, so it wasn’t too frothy, but this may be the error of my experience.
I am looking forward to trying it cold, with the water bottle technique, however my favorite method so far is with just a splash of soy milk and agave nectar if I want a super sweet treat. :) I will most likely buy this again, so yeah, I’d say if you are thinking about it, try it. :)

I personally didn’t find much of a difference with the royal vs. regular. Glad you liked the caramel :)
Yes; I am wondering if the difference is in the nutritional benefit? There has to be some difference lol. Are there somehow more “vitamins” in the royal I wonder? Just speculation.
I doubt there is much nutritional difference. I could be wrong. I think the higher grade just uses better quality leaves. You should shoot the guy at Red Leaf an e-mail and see what he says. They are pretty prompt at responding!
