Matcha soy milk powder, just add water: Garu Seonsaeng Jeju Matcha

A matcha soy milk I'd recommend — Garuseonsaeng Seoritae's Taemeokneun Saengduyu (drinkable soy milk) Jeju Matcha.

Hi, I'm Julie :) I love matcha lattes, so I go hunting for matcha not just at cafes but even when I travel to Japan.

But buying it at a cafe every time gets expensive, and making it myself is a hassle. Then I found a pretty good product. Garuseonsaeng Seoritae's Taemeokneun Saengduyu Jeju Matcha — you can drink it as matcha soy milk just by adding water, so it's super portable, and the matcha flavor is seriously rich.

Not plain matcha powder — it's powdered fresh soy milk

Honestly, the phrase "drinkable soy milk" felt a bit unfamiliar to me at first. Garuseonsaeng Seoritae's Taemeokneun Saengduyu Jeju Matcha turns raw soy milk into powder form so you can drink it right away with just water. That means you don't need to stock soy milk separately — you can make just the amount you want whenever you feel like it.

What's inside: Jeju matcha and Korean soybeans

Since it's a powdered drink, the ingredients matter as much as the taste, right? This product uses four ingredients: Jeju matcha, Korean soybeans, sun-dried salt, and unrefined raw sugar. I especially trusted it once I saw it uses ceremonial grade Jeju matcha, the highest grade available. And with Korean soybeans giving 6.3g of plant protein per serving, it felt like I could take care of my health too.

How do you mix it? Two scoops of powder in a shaker

Making a matcha latte properly usually isn't that easy, right? With Garuseonsaeng Seoritae, all you do is add two scoops of powder to water. I tried it in a shaker, and it was really portable, great for taking out with me in the morning. Besides enjoying it as a home cafe drink, I've also been keeping just the powder in a shaker as an office snack.

Water or milk: which tastes better?

Garuseonsaeng Seoritae's Taemeokneun Saengduyu Jeju Matcha is basically fine with just water since it's raw soy milk powder. But after trying it a few different ways, I personally found that adding milk doubles the nuttiness. Made with water, it felt clean and light. Next time I want to try it with almond milk. There was no clumping or settling, which I really liked.

How does it taste? More matcha than beany

I've tried a lot of powdered matcha products before, so I didn't expect much. But I was surprised by how genuinely good the matcha flavor was. At first I worried that, since it's marketed as healthy, the bean flavor might be strong, but that wasn't the case at all. The bitterness typical of matcha along with a gentle sweetness — if you didn't know better, it would feel like drinking matcha in Kyoto.

Who is this matcha soy milk powder for?

After trying Garuseonsaeng Seoritae's Taemeokneun Saengduyu Jeju Matcha, it has enough upsides that I'm planning to stock up. You can make it with just water, and the matcha flavor comes through more genuinely than expected, which I really liked. Combine it with milk or almond milk for a richer, iced matcha latte feel at home.

On top of that, since it barely clumps or settles, try packing it in a shaker for your morning commute on an empty stomach. If you like matcha and want something that takes care of your health while the whole family can enjoy it too, I'd recommend this one.
