A few decent lattes later, it was gone. In hindsight, wish I tried baking with it. <br /><br />Then I purchased a whole pound of matcha for $40 at culinaryteas.com, which is strong and bitter. I like my green tea flavored ice cream not-too-smooth and bitter which the matcha from culinaryteas.com would be appropiate for. <br /><br />For baked goods and drinks, I prefer very smooth and slightly bitter. I never got ideal results from using this strong tea powder in baking and my lattes. But I still use it for the sake of not wasting it. <br /><br />I have always loved the quality of teas from mightyleaf.com so I will try their matcha when I order next.

The cost difference here is quite steep though so I will definitely post on alternatives. Grace, I’m always open to paying a little more for superior ingredients.
