I was thrilled to find that this adored concoction added matcha into their turmeric-honey-ginger-lemon-spice mixture. I'll admit, the color is pretty unappetizing, but the taste and antioxidants make up for it.
Clean and unadulterated, Matcha Love is the real deal. Add a teaspoon to 175-degree water, stir with a traditional bamboo whisk, and slowly sip every drop of this delightful ceremonial tea. Gotta love that super-cute little tin, too.
Fizzy and frothy, one of our favorite kombucha brands has launched a drink combining fermented darjeeling and assam teas with matcha, spirulina, yuzu and miso. Perhaps the healthiest kombucha around?
Individually packaged and a bit sweet, Jade Monk is for those who want to enjoy matcha on the go. (I get it, not everyone has a special bamboo whisk.) A super-fine powder allows it to dissolve in hot or cold water.

Made from a finely ground Japanese tea, matcha has been used in elaborate Buddhist ceremonies for more than 800 years. Since then, it has made appearances in everything from matcha green tea lattes to candy and ice cream.

Here are a few favorites to watch.
