In fact, it is very similar to matcha in its grain size and functions as an alternative ingredient for matcha lattes. For this reason, we are calling this powder a "tea leaf matcha".

Flavor - unlike matcha, the flavor of this powder has more of a "green" and "grassy" flavor, but at the same time is not as astringent or bitter as low grade "matcha" often is (these likely using non-tencha leaf as well, but producers hide that fact). Instead, you have a slightly bitter, grassy taste.
