Why Not Matcha
The quick guide of our own opinion!
1) Matcha is shockingly expensive
For a standard cup of matcha, at home, you'll be paying $1+ for one mug, and that's if you only use half a teaspoon to make it last. Ouch!!
⇒ Our Teas Are Great Value
Our teas are around $0.39 a mug, and our direct matcha substitute, moringa tea powder, is only $0.43 a mug, with more antioxidants! That's better.

2) It is a seriously "acquired" taste
Matcha is usually very bitter. When do you see matcha being drunk straight? There's a reason it's always mixed or cut!
⇒ Our Teas Are Delicious
We have personally taste-tested all our teas and none of them need milk or sugar to taste good. We sell tasty loose leaf tea!

3) It's not the ultimate antioxidant powerhouse
Yes matcha is good, but there are plenty of other teas that have more antioxidants. It does NOT have 137x more than green tea!
⇒ Our Teas Have More Antioxidants!
Most of our teas, with just a few tasty exceptions, are packed with more antioxidants than matcha. (Scroll down for the numbers)

...and of course:
Matcha is not a health food when cut with fats and sweeteners!
This is the main way we eat matcha. Need proof? Just check out #matcha on Instagram (or in Starbucks or your local bakery)
A Starbucks matcha latte has 240 calories. Wow. But really, you already knew a spoonful of matcha doesn't make a dessert healthy, right?!
