On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.3 stars.
One common complaint is that the matcha tastes too bitter and unpleasant as pure tea and does not dissolve well.
However, many appreciate the fine texture, the mild taste and the good packaging, which protects the product from light and moisture.
In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the packaging is of high quality and functional and that the tea dissolves well. In terms of taste, it is difficult to give a general verdict due to individual preferences. However, we were personally impressed by the taste and, above all, the different ways of preparing the tea.
Prices of up to around €42 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from around €12 . The organic matcha tea “Tenno” from greenco is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €26.91. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
