Organic Matcha Ceremonial Grade Green Tea Powder by KissMe Organics Revives and Refreshes

Container: The product comes in a metal can. Once the top is removed there is a pull tab to remove the inner cover. Once this is removed the Tea Powder is contained in a mylar-type bag. This combination of container and linings really protect the delicate tea powder and ensure freshness. The product is stamped as USDA Organic, All Natural Non-GMO, Vegan and Grown in Japan. The net weight is 1 oz. It is recommended that consumption occur within 2 months of opening the product.

Ingredients: Organic Matcha Green Tea

The Product: While this tea could be prepared by any usual method, the recommended method for 1 teacup of tea is to place 1/2 teaspoon of the matcha powder into a bowl or cup, add 3 oz. of hot water, whisk in a zigzag pattern until the tea is dissolved and becomes frothy. I found that when making more than 1 teacup full, using a stick blender quickly dissolves and froths the tea. Basically the 1/2 teaspoon is equal to 1 gram of tea powder. The container holds 29 grams of the tea powder, so there are approximately 29 servings per oz. The flavor of the tea is delicate and refreshing, very unlike the average green tea. It also contains more antioxidants than regular brewed green tea. This is due to being able to consume the entire tea leaf which has been ground into a fine powder. The product is a first harvest, which makes it a ceremonial grade. Sugar can also be added if more sweetness is needed, but I found that the flavor is so delicate that it is preferable to drink it without sugar. This is not a tea that you quickly drink, this tea is meant to be savored and sipped slowly. The fresh scent arising from the cup is relaxing and meditative. I enjoyed this tea very much and the ritual of preparation and slow consumption helped me calm down from a busy day. KissMe Organics Organic Matcha Green Tea is for health of the body and centering of the mind. It is an experience, not just a beverage.

I did receive this product to test and review. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. It can be purchased from Amazon.com at: Organic Matcha - Ceremonial Grade - Green Tea Powder
