Located about 50 miles out from the Korean mainland’s southern coast, Jeju Island has an ancient nickname: “Samda-do,” or “Island of Three Abundances,” referring to Jeju’s prevalence of rocks, wind, and women. All three abundances were ultimately a consequence of the fact that Jeju is a relatively isolated volcanic island: the rocks a result of the dormant volcano at its center, the wind coming from the ocean on all sides, and the women an artifact of the island’s male-dominated seafaring economy creating a comparatively matriarchal society back on shore. While much has changed in the centuries since Jeju earned its nickname, its volcanic nature (and more importantly, fertile volcanic soil) certainly hasn’t, which is why it remains one of the best places in the world to grow green tea for matcha. And that’s precisely what you’ll find in our convenient new Trader Joe’s  Instant Jeju Matcha Latte Packets.

Indeed, inside each packet, our supplier has placed rich and aromatic Matcha powder from Jeju, along with a mix that includes skim milk powder and sugar. That means that all you’ ll need to Instantly create a sweet, smooth, and flavorful Matcha Latte is a cup, eight ounces of hot or cold water, and the time to mix it, sip it, and savor it to your satisfaction—no whisk required. Since it can be enjoyed hot or cold, we find it’s suitable for all sorts of weather and all times of day, especially when paired with an Almond Croissant, a yogurt parfait, or a bowl of fresh strawberries.
