Product Description
Information: Matcha is perhaps the most popular green tea on the market today. The first thing you will notice upon opening the packet is that Matcha is a finely powdered green tea and looks like an emerald colored flour. This characteristic truly sets it apart from other teas.
When brewed, the powdered leaf is not strained or left in the pot, but is whisked into a frothy concoction and consumed. Because the leaves themselves are imbibed, brewed Matcha contains higher concentrations of vitamins and antioxidants than most other teas, green, herbal, or otherwise. According to researches done in Japan, brewed Matcha contains nearly 10 times the polyphenols and antioxidants of regular teas, 2 times the antioxidants of a glass of red wine, approximately 9 times the beta-carotene of spinach, and 4 times that of carrots.
Brewing Ceremonial Matcha: 1). Prepare tea bowls by warming them with boiled water. 2). Prepare your Matcha whisk by soaking the tip in the boiled water in one of the bowls for about 10 seconds. 3). Pour the water out and dry the bowl with a paper towel. 4). Using your tea spoon, add 2 scoops of Matcha to each bowl. 5). Pour 1/3 of a cup of your hot water into each bowl. 6). In a slow "m' motion, submerge any loose bits of Matcha that may be floating on the surface of the tea. 7). Whisk the tea more briskly in a back and forth motion until the surface of the Matcha becomes frothy. 8). Consume immediately.
Brewing Cold Matcha: 1g Matcha, 8 oz cold water, lemon, and sugar to taste. 1). Add 1g of Matcha to a little water and mix until you have a nice paste. 2). Add your paste to the rest of your glass of water and stir well. 3). Squeeze a lemon into to the mixture and add sugar to taste. 4). Add ice. Enjoy.
Iced Matcha latte: 4g Matcha, 2 tbsp sugar, 3 tbsp hot water, 10 oz milk, ice. 1). Blend dry Matcha and sugar in a glass. 2). Pour in the hot water and whisk into a paste. 3). Pour cold milk over the Matcha mixture. 4). Add ice

Happy about the quality September 18, 2009

I've been a tea drinker for a while, and green tea is my favorite, so I am very familiar with the green tea and matcha products. While I do enjoy green tea au lait, latte, frappe, and tea with honey or sugar, I like the plain green tea the best, since they are 0 calories and help stimulates your metabolism. Plain green teas are naturally bitter, it is a taste you have to acquire. But once you have the taste for it, you'll see a whole new different world of tea.
I was looking for green tea powders in make simple matcha. After some research, I decided to give this a try. Sure, it's not the ceremonial grade green tea, but you are paying what you get, and I think this is the best I can get at this price. Like all other reviews, yes, a little goes a long way. The shipping is fast, I definitely will come back for more.
By the way, one reason I purchased this tea powder is because the tea is made in Taiwan, not China. Many of my Japanese friends advised me to avoid tea powders from China. There are stories about the artificial coloring and filler additives. While the these horror stories are not verified, I certainly do not want to be the one to find out first-handed.
The one you've been looking for! October 30, 2008

I did my research and found the Matcha Green Tea Powder and how well this product will help with my health concerns. I read and have proof that it has improved my health and will improve anyones health that will incorporate this fine product into their life. I like a small amount of honey in my tea. Others can find many ways that they will like it. It is worth every penny and more!!! And a plus...I have been drinking it once or twice a day, for alittle over a month and I have lost weight drinking it, feel more alert, no caffeine buzz,(I can't usually tolerate caffeine), my skin and hair has improved and I feel that I have more strength. My husband is now drinking it because he sees the improvement in me and he is starting to feel the difference in his health. We both think we found the green tea that is the best and the one that will make a big difference for the better in our lives. K. 10/29/08

I just recieved my Matcha green tea powder in the mail today......it only took three days from the time I placed my order for it to reach my house! I have already had two huge glasses of the iced matcha latte. I some what followed the instructions it came with by mixing 2 teaspoons of matcha powder with 2 packets of stevia sweetener and 2 tablespoons of fat-free half and half into a 16 oz. glass and then whisked it all together. I then added about one cup of boiling water to that mixture and stirred it together.....I then added crushed ice into the glass until it was full and then mixed that together until it was ice cold. This drink is sooooo delicious!!! It gives me a nice energy boost without the caffeine jitters. I have had Matcha before from Teavana, Cafe Fresh, and Starbucks and Malden Teas Matcha tastes just as great if not better than all that high priced stuff. A half pound was only $16.00!! you really cant beat that price. and a little goes a very long way. It mixes very easily and tastes great hot or cold....I have finally found a coffee replacement that tastes great and is wonderful for your health. I can't wait to incorporate into recipes and make other types of drinks with it. I Highly recommend this product to anyone who loves tea...especially Green Tea!
Great Tea! August 11, 2009

This is good stuff. It is basically just the Matcha powder only. There is no sweetner in it so if you make a frappe you can add your own honey, agave or other sweetner. This tea has a nice flavorful delicate taste. It is great Hot or Iced. I put a tablespoon of powder, 1 cup skim milk, 1/4 c frozen raspberries with a couple of ice cubes in my magic bullet blender... pulse it a couple of times and have a nice antioxidant rich treat!
Great product, great service June 20, 2009
