Has anybody here made their own matcha/drink it regularly?
I want to try to make it. The kits are $40—$50+ and the matcha powder is $30+.
Kind of want others opinions before I invest. Was it a better boost than coffee? Is the taste okay?

I kind of know what it tastes like from coffee shops, but not sure if what you buy in stores is different. I do believe I like the taste.
Yes, I have matcha all the time. I have this kit.
I’m not a regular coffee-drinker, so I’m probably not the one who should compare the two, but obviously a cup of matcha contains less caffeine than a cup of coffee, so you would have to consume more of it to get the same effect. But I find matcha more pleasant.
I might recommend knowing for sure whether it’s something you like before investing in a kit, but whisking it is the only way to get the proper taste and consistency.
Do you get matcha online by chance if so, where?
I often order from Ippodo, but their stuff is on the expensive side (and right now nothing seems to be available). But I also have ordered from Republic of Tea.
Thanks. I think when I am done with my concentrates I will try to look more into it.
If it is similar to what I get in coffee shops, then I like it. But I may have to add my own sweeteners
