Mocha Matcha
Single-serve chocolate matcha with cacao from Sierra Leone
Shinzo Mocha Ceremonial Matcha combines what Shinzo describes as ceremonial-grade matcha from Kagoshima, Japan (according to Shinzo), with cacao from Sierra Leone and non-GMO cane sugar. Each individually sealed pouch contains 3 g of matcha and makes a smooth, chocolate-flavored milk drink in about 60 seconds.
What does Shinzo Mocha Matcha taste like?
The flavor is rich and chocolatey, with a dark chocolate character and a smooth finish. Cacao gives the matcha its mocha profile, while cane sugar adds light sweetness. The formula contains no artificial sweeteners, stevia, or monk fruit.
This is a flavored, sweetened matcha made for mixing with milk. Each pouch contains 5 to 8 g of sugar and about 65 mg of caffeine. It also contains L-theanine and antioxidants, without making the preparation more involved than a standard single-serve drink.
Where do the matcha and cacao come from?
Shinzo describes the matcha as ceremonial grade and identifies Kagoshima, Japan (according to Shinzo), as its origin. Shinzo identifies Sierra Leone as the cacao origin. Each portion is sealed in its own pouch rather than packed together in a bulk tin.
- Matcha: ceremonial grade from Kagoshima, Japan (according to Shinzo)
- Cacao: sourced from Sierra Leone
- Format: individually sealed single-serve pouches
- Testing: third-party tested for purity and heavy metals
How do the single-serve pouches work?
For a frothed drink, add about 30 ml of water to a cup, empty in one pouch, and whisk for 10 to 20 seconds. Add 6 to 8 oz of milk and stir. A shaker bottle also works: add 6 to 8 oz of milk, empty in one pouch, then shake vigorously for 10 to 20 seconds.
The preportioned format removes the need to measure matcha or sweetener. One pouch is used for each drink, and preparation takes under a minute.
