Yeah, sugar is on the list of ingredients before matcha in our matcha....sooooo....

If you like them hot, try a different tea latte. London fog or Chai made with tea bags instead of syrup (honestly it's better).

I second the plain great iced tea if you like it iced. Or even a regular iced Chai is less sugar than the matcha.

Are you looking for caffeine? Tea? A bit sweetened? Not sweetened at all? Hot? Iced?

My go to is a Blonde Iced Americano with some oatmilk. Unsweetened.

Or a iced green tea Unsweetened, no water cos I like my teas strong in flavor. lol

I like vanilla sweet cream cold brews, iced caramel macchiatos (basic I know), and pink drinks. Those three are my go tos but I also like the strawberry acai lemonade refresher!

I like to get an iced blonde latte with brown sugar and vanilla !
for a venti I like to do: 8 half pumps of brown sugar, 1 pump of vanilla, & 3 blonde shots with oat milk

If I want a blended drink, I get a tall double blended dragon drink with one scoop of vanilla bean powder, but I usually make it with one pump of cremé base. I don’t usually get this because it makes me feel like a germ, definitely something I usually make myself when I go on a break lol

Why 8 half pumps and not 4 pumps?

idk if it’s like this at every store, but our brown sugar pump top is a half pump- like you would use for cold bar syrups. :) so, to get four full pumps equivalent I do eight half pumps.

I drink tons and tons and tons of passion tea. If you want it a lil sweet, light lemonade (a grande with regular lemonade has your daily recommended amount of added sugar if you're a woman so that's why I go with light lemonade but it's still less sugar than the matcha with the regular amount).
