I received this product either for free or at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. And because of that, I decided to give this tea a try. I had never had it or really even knew about the great benefits associated with matcha. So I went to a unbiased website and read up on it. First of all, I try to eat healthy (no grains, no sugar--though I slip a little here), and I liked the fact that this tea is organic and gluten free. Not knowing what to expect, I was hesitant to try it, as someone else stated, it doesn't really give very good directions for using it other than to add 1/2 to 1 tsp. to smoothies, lattes, and baked goods. My husband had a terrible headache, and I thought the antioxidants would help him. He felt slightly better after immediately drinking it, but while drinking it, he did complain about the fact that it tasted like grass. I have mixed one teaspoon of it into smoothies made with full fat coconut milk and fruit, and I could probably taste a hint of it. I noticed after drinking it that I did feel calm, as it is stated as an effect. But I did not notice an energy boost. As a matter of fact, I felt tired and got a headache. I wondered if this was due to a detoxifying effect. I do believe, however, that it did ramp up my metabolism. I have issues with cold hands and feet, and since drinking it, I've been burning up, and the scales have been reflecting what seems to be a faster metabolism. I will say that I am taking another supplement to help with that, but I had been taking that supplement for a while prior to adding the tea and only noticed these effects after adding it to my diet. The next time I use the powder in a smoothie, I will decrease it to 1/2 tsp. to see if I was possibly using too much and it was causing the ill effects. I would recommend that if you're new to this tea, start out with the minimum and then move up as your body adjusts.

I've been using this to make indulgent banana-matcha smoothies every morning. The flavor is great for smoothies, shakes, and desserts. Much better value and quantity than other culinary matcha out there, and it lasts a surprisingly long time because you only need one teaspoon per shake (although you can make it a heaping teaspoon if you need more caffeine)

The tea is good, smooth - earthy. The packaging is nice too compared to others that come in tins and make a bit of a mess.

Good service from the company--I am still evaluating the tea's effects, but it's easy to use and makes me feel good knowing I am taking something really healthy.

Im very satisfied with this product. I do not have to take coffee while using macha greem tea. It does give energy without the jitter. I will keep buying it

I've had matcha tea I didn't much care for, but this stuff is delicious. Yes, a bit spendy, but you only use a tiny bit per cup. I added a cinnamon stick this morning and it was so good!

I put this in my breakfast smoothie every day. It gives me the energy to get through the day. Love it!

Great flavor and decent price. I like Kino the best in comparison to other similarly priced matchas.
