Quick vanilla matcha pouches for milk-based drinks

Shinzo Vanilla Ceremonial Matcha combines what Shinzo describes as ceremonial grade matcha from Kagoshima, Japan (according to Shinzo), with Madagascar vanilla and cane sugar. Each single-serve pouch contains 3 g of matcha and is designed for a vanilla matcha drink prepared in about a minute.

What does Shinzo Vanilla Matcha taste like?

The blend has a warm, creamy and smooth profile, with vanilla adding rich sweetness to the matcha. It is lightly sweetened with non-GMO cane sugar rather than stevia or monk fruit. Each flavored pouch contains 5 to 8 g of sugar.

Shinzo identifies Kagoshima as the matcha origin and Madagascar as the vanilla origin. This combination is intended for milk-based drinks and can be mixed with either a whisk or a shaker bottle.

How do the single-serve pouches work?

Each pouch holds a measured portion, so there is no need to weigh the matcha or add a separate vanilla syrup. The individual packaging also keeps each portion sealed until it is opened.

For the whisked method, add roughly 30 ml of water to a cup, empty in one pouch and froth for 10 to 20 seconds. Add 6 to 8 oz of milk and stir. For the shaken method, add 6 to 8 oz of milk to a bottle, empty in one pouch and shake vigorously for 10 to 20 seconds.

  • Matcha per pouch: 3 g
  • Approximate caffeine: 65 mg per pouch
  • Sweetener: non-GMO cane sugar
  • Formats: 10 pouches or 25 pouches
  • Preparation time: about 60 seconds

What is in this vanilla matcha blend?
