LITTLE EXTRAS THAT MAKE GREEN TEA BETTER
READY-TO-DRINK GREEN TEA
This is one of those drinks I’d keep in the fridge for when I want something cold that isn’t sweet or heavy. It’s simple, refreshing, and doesn’t feel like I’m drinking candy.

Jasmine and matcha together just makes sense. This is the kind of drink I’d pick when I want green tea, but prettier and more floral.
HEYTEA Jasmine Matcha Tea
This is good when I want matcha but don’t feel like making anything. It’s creamy, easy to grab, and feels more like a little treat than a regular bottled drink.

Hojicha Powder (Original)
This is a good pick for making hojicha lattes at home. It feels cozy, smooth, and less sharp than regular matcha.
Organic Matcha-Style Hojicha Roasted Green Tea Powder
This is the kind of green tea find I’d recommend to someone who usually likes coffee more than tea. It has that roasted, deeper flavor without feeling too heavy.

LITTLE EXTRAS THAT MAKE GREEN TEA BETTER
A frother makes homemade matcha drinks feel way less sad. It helps mix powders better and makes the drink feel more like something you bought from a café.
Zulay Kitchen Milk Frother Wand w/ 2 Batteries
This is not necessary, but it makes iced matcha and green tea drinks feel cuter. Sometimes the cup really does make the drink more fun. I don’t make the rules.
