I've been trying out the new Mushroom Magic Matcha Baller Edition these last few days. While I never tried the original Mushroom Magic Matcha, as I tend to prefer Ceremonial Grade Japanese Matcha, I can at least speak to my experiences with this one compared with other Ceremonial Grade Matcha I have had in the past and what I liked and disliked about this one in general.
The Mushroom Magic Matcha Baller Edition is one of the smoothest matchas I have had in a while, compared with other Japanese Matcha I've used which tend to taste more on the grassy side. This one was more neutral in flavor. This is not inherently a bad thing, though, as I imagine that NootropicsDepot had to choose a Matcha that paired well with all the various mushrooms they added and didn't want the mushroom taste to come out way too much and spoil the drink's taste.

That all makes sense. While I love tea in general, matcha is my usual go-to, which is why the grassier notes of some do not turn me off, though I am getting used to the more mellowed flavor of this one.
Sachets would be ideal for me, and I'm so excited to hear that they're coming down the pipeline in the future. For now, I will have to settle with my green fingers, haha.
I will definitely look into getting some lavender syrup now that you mentioned it as an option. I would also be quite keen on NootropicsDepot releasing more types of tea variants whether it be flavored ones like lavender, other straight teas like green, black, and white, or even herbal teas. Though I am somewhat of a big tea drinker, so you'll have to see if the rest of the community holds my sentiment for more drink/tea mixes.

I made a Mushroom Magic Chai that was bomb! I also did a Mushroom Magic Dirty Chai. There are a lot of things I have been playing around with for drink mixes.
