Pros & Cons
Pros
This ranks as better on a scale of good, better, best. This stuff is a good replacement. This one is a must try!
The taste is actually pretty good—i’d call it a “green” taste—but the powder does not suspend/dissolve well. It tastes not a lot different from the bigelow green tea bags, but it is a little more gritty if you do not strain it well.
Cons
It is not aromatic or flavorful as i have tried with various other matchas. Return window closes too quickly to rectify.
Highlights
Quality
A little sweeter than my previous uji matcha that i've gotten, but still very tasty with the right texture too.
Good taste and color, reasonable price for a good product.
I have paid a lot more money for lower quality, such as tevanna for one brand.
Somehow, this matcha green tea powder has smoothness and quality i would not expect for the price.
Price
Tealyra is the best i have used.
Packaging/appearance
Beautiful, fresh green color & the packaging was great.
The final step is adding 1 tsp of matcha to the warm coconut milk and water in the frother.
I didn't like the packaging they come in so i placed it in an empty almond jar.
Also, it comes in exactly the same packaging pictured, but the name is tealyra not tealux.
Competitiveness
I have matcha almost every day (it's really helping my migrane headaches) and this is the third brand i've tried.
This tea is delicious and tastes just as good as the more expensive brands.

You get what you pay for, but this is higher quality than some of the less expensive brands.
