Would love to preface that I love supporting brands in the same vertical as Narra who are a healthier choice with no added sugar, zero artificial ingredients and is lactose free in comparison to American brands, which have been around longer however this was a very disappointing experience. If you are sensitive to artificial sweeteners such as monk fruit, it will be really hard to get past this bad aftertaste. When I first poured a can of the Strawberry Matcha Latte into a cup, the first thing I noticed which was super off if you're a matcha connoisseur-the murky color. I get that you're combining oat milk, strawberry, and matcha together, but it doesn't have that delightful green that matcha entails. Even though monk fruit is the last ingredient on the nutrition label, it ended up overpowering the remainder of the ingredients in this drink and honestly holding a magnifying glass closer, their website does not have any transparency as to what is in the drink...which is very suss. I actually had to do a Google image for their nutritional label, after I threw the can away and began to scratch my head as to why a natural and authentic brand like Narra has to use both monk fruit and sugarcane as "natural" sweeteners in all their drinks-why not honey instead? At ~$5/can, I would prefer to either support my local small business cafe or make my own matcha latte.
