" Kurt Vonnegut] has never been more satirically on-target. . . . Nothing is spared."--People

Jailbird takes us into a fractured and comic, pure Vonnegut world of high crimes and misdemeanors in government--and in the heart. This wry tale follows bumbling bureaucrat Walter F. Starbuck from Harvard to the Nixon White House to the penitentiary as Watergate's least known co-conspirator. But the humor turns dark when Vonnegut shines his spotlight on the cold hearts and calculated greed of the mighty, giving a razor-sharp edge to an unforgettable portrait of power and politics in our times.

Praise for Jailbird

" Vonnegut] is our strongest writer . . . the most stubbornly imaginative."--John Irving

"A gem . . . a mature, imaginative novel--possibly the best he has written . . . Jailbird is a guided tour de force of America. Take it "--Playboy

"A profoundly humane comedy . . . Jailbird definitely mounts up on angelic wings--in its speed, in its sparkle, and in its high-flying intent."--Chicago Tribune Book World

"Joyously inventive . . . gleams with the loony magic Vonnegut alone can achieve."--Cosmopolitan

"Vonnegut is our great apocalyptic writer, the closest thing we've had to a prophet since . . . Lenny Bruce."--Chicago Sun-Times

"Vonnegut at his impressive best. . . . His imaginative leaps alone . . . are worth the price of admission. . . . His far-reaching metaphysical and cultural concerns . . . are ultimately serious and worth our contemplation."--The Washington Post

Smooth and Convenient Matcha Latte Mix
Flavor Name: Original, Size: 17.6 oz (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Original, Size: 17.6 oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been trying to make matcha lattes at home more often, so I decided to try the Jade Leaf Matcha Latte Mix. Overall, I’ve been really happy with it. The powder mixes easily with both hot and cold milk, and it dissolves fairly well with a small whisk or milk frother. The flavor is smooth with a balanced sweetness, which makes it easy to drink without needing to add extra sugar. I like that it’s convenient for quick drinks. When I don’t have time to measure multiple ingredients, I can just add a scoop, mix it with milk, and it’s ready in a minute or two. It works well for both hot matcha lattes and iced versions. The container is also a good size, so it lasts quite a while even if you make matcha regularly. The matcha flavor still comes through nicely without being too bitter. Overall, this has been a simple and enjoyable way to make matcha drinks at home, and it’s a good option for anyone who enjoys café-style matcha lattes.

Makes the Best Cold Matcha Drinks
Flavor Name: Original, Size: 17.6 oz (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Original, Size: 17.6 oz (Pack of 1)
I got the barista matcha latte because I heard it blends well in cold drinks. I made a lavender cream matcha with it more than once now & each one was so delicious. I liked it better than Starbucks Iced Lavender Cream Matcha and not as sweet as theirs imo. I plan to try making more drinks with it in the future when I purchase it again.

Good matcha and way cheaper than Starbucks and taste the same
Flavor Name: Original, Size: 5.3 oz (Pack of 1)
This matcha tastes pretty good and has a nice, smooth flavor. Unlike some matcha products, it doesn’t have an overly grassy or bitter taste. Instead, it tastes more like a matcha latte, making it enjoyable and easy to drink. It is definitely on the sweeter side, and you can tell that sweeteners have been added. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of the extra sweetness, but that’s more of a preference than a quality issue. Overall, it still tastes like real matcha and makes for a pleasant drink. If you enjoy sweeter matcha lattes, you’ll probably like this product. While I would have preferred a less sweet version, I still found it enjoyable overall.
