Unsweetened - it's really great stuff. Matcha has a sort of natural "sweetness" to it, so I never use sweetener - but this is pure matcha with no sweetener added.

From what I understand, matcha IS green tea powder. Check out the website: nutritionfacts.org. Look up matcha there. This site has a wealth of nutritional info on it. By the way I saw matcha at Trader Joes. I plan to get it when this current batch runs out. (To use matcha I add it to my smoothies that I make every day)

Hello Carrie, There are no sweeteners in this product. It has 1g of carbs. So this is the unsweetened version.. Let us know if you have further questions.

It tastes like unsweetened Fresca, whichever that may be. Not sure I can discern a difference.

I have the same question, why is this only available in VERY VANILLA.. I only buy the very vanilla type because I have no other choice, but this is too sweet for me, too! Soy is healthy, but the sugar content in it? That makes me nervous.. I hope that the SILK company will start making the original -- or even the no sugar-added soymilk in tetrapacks, like this!

Matcha can not be made decaf and if it could you wouldn't want it. Part of the beauty of this product is how well the L-theanine content goes with the caffeine content. The best part is that unlike coffee, this stuff doesn't make you jittery. Instead it makes you calm.

I bought this product and was very pleased. I do believe it is unsweetened. it has its own naturally pleasant sweetness.

Hi,I wouldn't say it's sweet, at all. It's a very easily mixed drink and doesn't thicken up like some shakes do, like Syntha 6. The reasons I love it is because of it's mixability with water, very low carbs, no sugar, low fats and high protein. They do say that there are NO ADDED Sucrose, Fillers, Maltodextrin or Aspartmane. Quite an interesting find, let me know if you figure out anything further. Thanks.BTW: I have the 5lb tub of Cafe Mocha, amazing.

Mary, this is a great question and the only way I can answer it is by sending you to this link I found long ago when I first started using matcha. And, I just want to say that THIS particular matcha purchase on Amazon is wonderful and a great price as well!! http://gotmatcha.com/are_you_new_to_matcha.html

the package does not list other ingredients, saying only that it contains organically grown and handpicked matcha green tea. I have had trouble drinking it, the taste is a bit strange compared to other matcha teas I have had, but they were flavored with other ingredients. I just assumed I was making my tea too strong, but have not yet tried it with less powder b/c the tea upset my stomach. I don't know if it is the product or my ignorance of the proper way to use the product.

This Matcha Powder will not "completely" dissolve. The bamboo wisk does a good job, but the powder is from tea leaves and you will see sediments.What I do is just dilute my tea cup with clean water and consume the "sediment."

Well, Corey I did some research and it appears that you may be on to something. Already purchased a gigantic package of Stevia In The raw, so I will likely ride it out. However, I am now on the lookout for a natural sugar substitute, any suggestions? Someone suggested Sweet Leaf brand but not sure about that either.

It is not unflavored. I mix it into green smoothies so I couldn't tell you the exact flavor.

I suppose it is a matter of taste; I prefer the taste of the natural unsweetened to that of the special dark. I add my own artificial sweetener to avoid sugar. Try a can of both and see which you prefer before you order a large quantity, then place an order for the one you prefer.

I got this from their website. "The D&#333;Matcha Ceremonial grade of matcha is handpicked in the spring at the first flush, only the brand new top leaves are chosen. These leaves render a very smooth but strong flavor, considered to be one of the top grades of matcha. As a result it commands a higher value in the marketplace. The 2nd Harvest D&#333;Matcha is handpicked in August, the leaves for 2nd Harvest have been on the tea plant longer and render a more astringent flavor. As a result it has a lower value. You can see this by the pricing. The 2nd Harvest gives you more than twice as many servings for only $6-8 more than the Ceremonial matcha. If you are a purist or traditionalist and enjoy your matcha with just hot water, then the Ceremonial will give you the better tasting matcha. If you are going to use your matcha in a latte or a blender drink, then you may as well go for value and use the 2nd Harvest. I personally use the Ceremonial grades (organic and non) as they seem to give me more energy and mental clarity."

Our organic Matcha is made of 100% pure powdered green tea. No fillers, no by-products or additives whatsoever. Our recommendation per serving is 1/2 to 1 teaspoon. But for others, 1/4 tsp does the trick, especially when they want little, to no taste of Matcha in their food or smoothie.What other details do you need? Let us know and we'll try to get back to you with as much answers as we can provide.Warmest regards, Ashley Evans KissMeOrganics
