Matcha Green Tea Powder - Powerful Antioxidant Japanese Organic Culinary Grade (28 Grams) - for use in Lattes, Cookies, Smoothies, and Baking

I wanted to give this tea a try after hearing about its wondrous properties but after talking to my daughter, who had tried it already (not this brand) I was a bit concerned about it. She could only stomach it in a smoothie, and even then could taste it, so I geared myself up to trying it in a latte or smoothie. Whacked some into a latte and eurgh bitter weird green milk! Decided to just make a straight tea with it, without milk, as I'm used to drinking strange herbal concoctions anyway. It was perfectly palatable, even though it did smell like grass (and not the good stuff either). I certainly feel more energised after drinking it.We are all different though, so if you're not an old hippy artist like me who has had numerous weird drinks, then you're probably fine making a tea with it; you can always put a bit of honey in if it's too bitter. Others who are not into strange stuff might be better off with it in a kale smoothie or something similar. I'm going to invest in more of this as it's cheaper getting it on Amazon than on the high street.

I have been mixing this into my green smoothie made with coconut milk. I definitely have an energy boost for about 4-5 hours afterwards. My exercise session is easier and I feel more alert. I have dropped one star as when you open or close the small pack there is a puff of air and you can see a small amount excaping and it is expensive. Also, I am almost at the bottom of the pack and I think it will be quite awkward to remove the last bit from the creases in the pack. I am going to try capsules instead.

I have to say that Maccha tea powder from Japanese shop is much better.

Loved it but needs to be in a much bigger packet.

Poor, expensive and not worth the price!!!

Increased my energy. I found I have so much more clean energy now, for longer and throughout the day. I mix it into my protein shakes and it tastes excellent!! Also mix it in with other hot drinks. Really recommend.

I was expecting it to be very bitter but it wasn't. Matcha tea is a lot less bitter than black tea and I found it to be very smooth.

Decided to try this as a morning coffee replacement and its been great - increased focus minus the jitters!
