Matcha Chocolate Customer Reviews

Probably my current favorite matcha. The chocolate flavor is pretty light, but it makes a nice accent. I made a latte with it using 1 cup milk, 1 1/2 tsp. powder, and 1 Tbsp. sugar.

When this matcha arrived, I greedily opened the tin, inhaled and said aloud to my empty kitchen, 'Oh dear sweet mother of god I'm going to be so broke'. I am, in a word, obsessed with this tea. So much so that I made my mother hide the tin from me to prevent me from going through it too quickly. The cocoa cuts through that, frankly, kinda gross 'I'm drinking leaves' taste matcha has so it isn't too overwhelming. I drink mine with a little splash of vanilla simple syrup because I have a sweet tooth the size of Texas, and a splash of milk.

Protip: Pop a teaspoon and a half of powder into your blender with about a cup of ice, a cup and a half of coconut milk, and your preferred sweetener. Wonderfully refreshing on a hot summer day, and something about it makes me feel really fancy when I drink it while gardening.

Makes a yummy mocha latte if you add some milk and sugar. It's a touch bitter and flat if you have by itself. I can't imagine having this daily but it makes a yummy weekend treat.

Not quite what I was expecting but still delicious. My only complaint is that the matcha powder gets into the seal on the bag and makes it difficult to close.

Not super chocolate-y. I like mixing it with the raspberry matcha and making a latte.

The matcha itself tastes great, as can be expected. The chocolate was lacking for me, and presented itself more as a scent and aftertaste of cocoa butter than a true chocolate flavor. I've been drinking this iced rather than hot, as that cocoa butter scent and aftertaste comes out better than it does when whisked up hot. Served hot, I feel it's a bit more bitter than regular matcha, and it seemed not to foam as readily as its plain counterpart. Fun to try, but I'll stick to the classic stuff, methinks. :)

Nice smooth flavor. Starts with a grassy flavor and finishes with a nice cocoa sweetness.

I was very excited and scared to try a matcha. Don't like the ideal of spending money on something I might dislike. This matcha WITH chocolate proved to be a temptation, though, and I got it. My roommate and I tried it together and, my God, was it bitter has hell. I assumed I had put too much of the powdered green tea in our cups. She made a second batch with less tea and still found it bitter. We are both trying to figure out if we did something wrong with making the tea or if it is just naturally bitter. I don't think I will be buying this matcha or any other any time soon.

This was my first experience with matcha. I didn't know what to expect.

I don't care for the green tea I've tried in the past, as I found it too grassy and too much like steamed vegetables (note: this was not tea from Adagio), so I was concerned that maybe matcha, being made from the entire leaves of green tea, would be repulsive.

I bought the chocolate because another reviewer said that the chocolate matcha, plus some sweetener, tastes like hot cocoa. I ordered a sample, so if I didn't like it I wouldn't be out too much money. I also bought a bamboo whisk because the videos I saw on this site and on YouTube said that it's important to break up any lumps and to make the matcha frothy.

I used about a teaspoon of matcha powder in a deep bowl, boiled some Brita-filtered water, let it cool for a few minutes, and poured in just a little bit of it on the matcha. Stirred with a 'M' and 'W' motion with the whisk, rather than in a circle. Broke up any lumps, then added about another six ounces of water to the bowl and made the tea frothy. I added about half an ounce of sugar-free Torani syrup made from Splenda.

Refreshing, warm, comforting cocoa taste but not too sweet. I liked it so much, I drank another four cups that day. The following day I ordered a two-ounce tin. This is now going to be a permanent part of my morning.

I liked this better than any other matcha I have tried. I am just not a fan of matcha

Really nice. The matcha flavor was excellent, very forgiving, and the chocolate was subtle and not at all fake. Adding a little sweetness almost made it like a very low key hot chocolate. Great stuff.

Yummy tea. Even my husband liked it and that is a rare thing.

I took a risk and bought three different tins of matcha all at once, rather than samples like I normally do. I knew matcha powder was very fine and didn't want to deal with it in Adagio's sample bags. The varieties I got were regular matcha, chocolate, and mocha.

Chocolate was, unfortunately, my least favorite variety. For some reason, the chocolate flavor actually enhanced the bitterness of the matcha, which made it difficult for me to drink it plain, the way I'd prefer. The next time I made it, I ended up mixing it with a bit of honey. That was better, and brought out the chocolate flavor a bit more, but it still didn't really taste all that good. I'll probably look up ways to incorporate matcha in baking and see how this one does in baked goods.

really enjoy this type of green tea. having some light flavor in a great quality matcha tea is nice.

Another nice sweet matcha with the smell of chocolate but the chocolate flavor is subtle not very strong. It does add that after taste of chocolate tho. Update, I decided to add some sugar to see what it may taste like and that enhance that chocolate flavor. Now it's more like a cup of hot chocolate.

Delicious match flavor with just a hint of chocolate.
