Aiya Sweetened Matcha Powder to Go Sticks

While labeled as ceremonial grade, this product contains corn fiber and stevia in addition to matcha powder. Several reviewers noted it's not pure ceremonial matcha and the dark green color differs from traditional bright ceremonial grade. If you're looking for pure, traditional matcha, this might not be what you expect. However, if you want a convenient, pre-sweetened matcha drink, it delivers on taste and ease of use.

It's noticeably sweet—about a dozen reviewers specifically called out the sweet flavor profile. Some loved it as a dessert-like treat, while others found it too sweet for their taste. Since these are pre-measured single-serve packets, you can't adjust the sweetness level. If you prefer controlling your own sweetener or like unsweetened matcha, you'd be better off with pure matcha powder.

Not really. Several reviewers mentioned difficulty dissolving in cold liquids, with some getting chunky or clumpy results. These work best when mixed with warm or hot milk. If you want a cold matcha latte, try mixing with warm milk first, then adding ice, or use a frother or shaker bottle for better results.

Think smooth, creamy, and sweet with a strong green tea backbone—but without the bitterness that turns some people off from matcha. Reviewers describe roasted, milky notes with that distinctive matcha flavor coming through clearly. It mixes especially well with milk, creating a latte-style drink. Many compared it favorably to coffeehouse matcha lattes, calling it a satisfying alternative to coffee or energy drinks.

This is ideal for matcha beginners or anyone who wants grab-and-go convenience. The pre-measured packets eliminate guessing, the sweetened formula is more approachable than traditional matcha, and you just add milk—no whisking expertise required. However, matcha purists and advanced enthusiasts should look elsewhere. Multiple experienced matcha drinkers noted this doesn't meet ceremonial grade standards and the added ingredients (corn fiber, stevia) aren't what traditionalists want.

Absolutely. Fifteen reviewers specifically praised the portability of these single-serve sticks. They're individually sealed for freshness, easy to toss in a bag or purse, and perfect for office use or travel. Just grab a packet, add it to milk, mix, and you're done. No measuring, no mess, no bulky containers to carry around.
