About the Shinzo Matcha Matcha
Single-serve matcha pouches

Flavor ingredients and formats
The flavored pouches combine matcha with Madagascar vanilla, clover honey or Sierra Leone cacao. Shinzo explains that it selects a different matcha blend to complement each flavor. The range also includes Coconut Mango and Yuzu Mint sparkling matcha sodas.
