AIYA SINCE 1888 Matcha+ Focus ™

I enjoy Matcha and I enjoy Green Tea, so I was excited to find these available in on-the-go packets. This type of stuff is great for me as I'm often out and about and these fit perfectly in my bag. This particular blend mixes well, has a good color, and certainly does the advertised part of making me feel more focused. However...there was no peach flavor. At all. It was straight Matcha and not even good Matcha. I'm pretty disappointed in these, honestly.

I wanted Aiya Matcha+ Focus Peach because it sounded like an interesting product. I've never seen a matcha + L-theanine mix before so it's almost like a matcha powder energy drink and I think pretty unique. I had some struggles mixing it in as it wanted to clump, but once I used a handheld milk frother it mixed in completely without clumping. I thought the taste was light when it came to both the matcha and the peach flavor. It's not bad, but not something I would purchase again.

Tastes good! Those were my wife's first words following a sip of her Matcha on the go.. She made herself a drink the day these arrived. The packet was added to 16.9oz cold water as the directions state. The powder clumped a bit and had to use a little extra effort to remove them. The second time she made this she used a small electric frother and had the water mixing as she added the packet and the contents mixed a lot easier. She did state that she had a little bit of gritty consistency at the last few drinks which was most likely just some of the unmixed contents. The peach flavor is very subtle.

I really enjoyed mixing in this matcha powder with lots of ice and some water. It mixes in pretty well and has only a subtle taste. Peach flavor comes out more than the matcha. It is not sweetened, which I appreciate. I am not sure if I observed any health benefit out it it. However, I find it very expensive for just 8 servings especially since each packet makes only about 8-10 oz drink, more water and you cannot even taste it.

This mixes easily and tastes good. If you're used to matcha, you'll be used to the flavor which is slightly grassy. It mixes similar to regular matcha so don't expect it to mix like a regular powdered drink mix. The peach flavor could be stronger, and there isn't really much sweetness but that's probably for the best. Definitely better than the alternative of it being overly sweet with artificial sweeteners and having an artificial chemical tasting peach flavor. Good as a pick me up on the go, clean feeling caffeine kick and focus.
