If you want it sweet, the Sweetened To Go uses cane sugar and the Sugar-Free To Go uses stevia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also uses \u003cstrong\u003eceremonial grade\u003c\/strong\u003e, not culinary — the drinking blend, which matters considerably when there is no sugar to hide behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe format solves the real barrier to drinking matcha daily, which is not cost but faff. A proper bowl needs sifting, a bamboo whisk and something to wash up.
