Plain matcha powder
ITO EN Oi Ocha Matcha
30 g · one tin
The listing states 100% Japanese matcha and describes use in matcha lattes and cooking. This is powder to prepare yourself, rather than a ready-made latte mix.
A fit for: Making matcha or a latte with your own choice of milk and sweetener; starting with a 30 g package.
Choose another format if: A sweetened instant latte mix, a tea bag, or a verified premium tasting recommendation. No independent tasting was performed.
Green tea with matcha · tea bags
ITO EN Oi Ocha Premium Green Tea with Uji Matcha
1.8 g × 50 tea bags · one box
A steeped green tea containing Uji matcha. The selected listing is the single box of 50 bags, not the two-box option.
A fit for: A straightforward cup of green tea prepared with a tea bag, without a matcha whisk.
Choose another format if: Whisked matcha or a matcha latte recipe requiring pure matcha powder. Matcha in the name does not make this the same format as the tin.
