| convenient pre-measured packets |
Now I am going to be honest with you (as usual). I loved the way this tea was packaged in pre-measured individual packets. So convenient! Matcha is powdered and I make a big mess it at least twice a week. When I first tried this tea, I hated it and thought it was gross. I don't know what I did to it, but it tasted like green beans and asparagus juice mixed together. It was so bitter I couldn't finish it! I gave a couple of packets to my mom, dad and my brother, all of which are green tea drinkers. They all LOVED it and gave it rave reviews! I was confused, so I went to their house to see what the fuss was.
Apparently, I didn't follow the directions the way I was supposed to (surprise, surprise). My brother made me a cup of the tea, following the instructions exactly. I took a sip, and what do you know? It was really good! It has a light grassy/floral taste. My brother made me a latte with milk. It was super yummy! As it turns out, when you don't follow the instructions for making this tea, it changes how this delicate tea tastes. I really should have followed the directions. I didn't preheat the cup, and the water I was using was too hot (boiling), I also did not stir it well enough. As it turns out, when you don't follow the instructions for making this tea, it can change how this delicate tea tastes.

My parents swear by this tea and the energy it provides. I have also noticed that if you drink it on an empty stomach it has "cleansing" effects if you aren't used to it. My brother swears by this stuff as a hangover cure, (I make no claims that it really works) he drank it the next morning after consuming a large amount of beer, and was hangover free. Personally, I like the energy that I get from matcha. I think it is a better alternative to coffee for my sensitive stomach. I am also very sensitive to caffeine it makes me anxious and jittery.
Matcha DNA, gives me long lasting energy without the anxiety or jitters.
