Is this the right kind of green tea powder for green tea cakes and ice cream?

I have no idea. I use it in my smoothies but I have never tried to bake with it.

To be honest I wouldn't use it for that. It's just so bitter even with sugar. I recommend Maeda-en.

This stevia is clear. I use it in my tea, coffee, and baking. When you use it for baking you need to find the right sweetness. I taste my batter to see if it is sweet enough.

Label Says "100% Organic Japanese powdered green tea leaves." Ceremonial grades meets USDA-NOP, EU, and Japan Organic standards. It's super smooth in texture and bright green color. Blends very nicely and no after or bitter taste in my opinion. I only use 1/4 teaspoon or less and can feel the effects within minutes. Hope this helps.

Yes, but not the kind that make most people jittery. Green tea extract is an ingredient.

Not sure, I would think it depends on how fine. I use green gunpowder style but that is a course leaf tea.

I doubt that they use the same thing but this powder does taste as good as the Starbucks Green Tea Latte!

It is not tea... I have only used it for smoothies and milkshakes, in which it works great for both. I suppose you could brew some black tea and mix some of this in it.The ingredients list on the back of my package: Taro Flavor Powder, Granulated sugar, Glucose, Non-dairy creamer. It is pretty sweet, I didn't need to add any sugar (wish I could take some out ;p).

It's not the exact same powder since there are different brands, but it is close enough for me to enjoy it every day. Give it a try, if you don't like it, most venders will let you return it. If you do like it, my advice is to buy a few at a time on your next purchase to save on shipping costs. I really love this green tea cold or hot.

Best I can tell this is made from brewed tea. The matcha I have used seems to be from green tea ground to a very fine powder. Since I use this match inserted to me it has much more of a raw taste than the all orgenic instant product. However I don't know that I'm using the matcha properly.

I don't believe there is any tea in this. The ingredients include: Taro Flavor Powder (Taro Flavor, Taro Flavor Base, FD&C; Red No. 40, FD&C; Blue No. 1), Granulated sugar, Glucose, and Non-dairy creamer. As for adding milk, yes you can even though it already has creamer. The recipe I use is: 1/2 cup water, 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup taro powder, and about 12 ice cubes and blend in a blender.

Angelica, My package of Tradition Pure Green Tea Powder lists "Ingredient: Tea Leaves." My understanding is that Matcha tea is Japanese and is powdered Japanese Gyokuro Imperial tea leaves (which I have as leaf tea as well). I have compared the Matcha tea from Teavana (now a subsidiary of Starbucks) with other green tea powders from Taiwan and Korea. All are satisfactory, but the imperial Matcha (ceremonial green tea) from Teavana is the smoothest and most elegant in flavor. I also get regular whole leaf Sencha green tea at my Teavana supplier and it is the Sencha not grown in the shade. Wikipedia has an extensive article on the varieties of Sencha. I hope this helps!

I haven't used it in a cake, but I would assume it would be fine for recipes that called for "Dutch-processed" cocoa powder. Do not use in recipes that call for natural cocoa, because it likely has enough baking soda or other alkali to balance out the acidity of natural cocoa. I have only used it a bunch of times in a hazelnut-mocha macaron recipe (with great sucess!), and in a hot cocoa drink.

This product contain only 100% pure green tea powder. There is no black tea in this product. The company also makes an organic black matcha tea that contains powdered black tea. The ingredients for this product are listed on the first line of the Supplements Facts label and it states: Organic Matcha Green Tea"

No, it is not. They sent me this product from China ,look n smell good, but when . I made a cup of tea it tasted like very sweet green grass, so it is just green sweet powder,totally different than green tea latte Matcha from Starbucks and Macha I bought in other companies.

It is in powder form. If you have never had this type of tea, be prepared...it is bitter!
