To sweeten, or not to sweeten

Sipology offers matcha in a variety of types, both sweetened and unsweetened, but how do you chose?
 

Premium matcha is high quality matcha that is unsweetened. The different flavors will include matcha, spices, fruit powder, and natural flavors depending on the flavor, but no sweetening agents. When “premium” is listed as a flavor it means the matcha has no other flavors added. These matchas are offered in 100g bags.

Sweet matcha is the same high quality matcha and flavorings as the premium, with the addition of both organic cane sugar and organic stevia extract. Each serving contains 5 calories and 1g of carbohydrates. 

I love all the different types of matcha, but in different ways. I have a sweet tooth, so I tend to use the premium matchas more in my smoothies, lemonade, or anything else that has sweetness in it already. I do love the new Chocolate Toffee matcha in my froth for my tea…as long as I add Simply Sweet monk fruit sweetener to it, as well! The premium matchas are perfect for baking, because they add flavor without altering the level of sweetness already inherent in whatever is being baked! I really love adding the vanilla or peppermint matchas to my brownie batter!!

The sweet matcha flavors are my go-to for frothing in milk to top my tea in the morning!! I have a sweet tooth, as I’ve mentioned, so I love the little extra sweetness they add! I do use them on my smoothies, as well, depending on the flavor. The newer Tropical Berry and the Strawberry Colada flavors are super yummy alone or. In a smoothie!!
