CAFFEINE:On average, Matcha contains less than half the amount of caffeine per cup than in a similar-sized cup of coffee. More about caffeine.
STEEPING INSTRUCTIONS:Fill the kettle with fresh, filtered water and heat to just short of boiling. Fill matcha bowl or cup with warm water and pour out. Add ½ to 1 teaspoon of matcha powder to bowl or cup. Add 6 oz of steaming water (175°F). Experiment to find your favored strength. Using a tea whisk or a hand frother blend for one to two minutes until the matcha forms a nice top foam. For iced tea, blend ½ to 1 teaspoon to 8 oz of cold water and pour into a glass of ice.

this tea tastes like poster paint (not that i know what that's like), so bad i thought i had bought an expired product...so i tried again only to find the same unpleasant brew. i never write reviews, but in this case felt compelled. too bad, i like the company. |

Green Goodness | January 30, 2013 |

This is my first time using matcha, so I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. It's a very earthy tea, slightly bitter but not overly so, and adds a healthy boost to a smoothie. I love it with honey. I enjoyed this tea and will but it again. |

Pretty good matcha | January 17, 2013 |
|
Lindsey J. Houston, TX |
I thought this matcha was pretty good. Not too strong or bitter. It has a very green taste; sorta grassy, but then again, it's green tea. It's going to taste grassy and earthy because that's just how green tea tastes. If you're a matcha snob, you may prefer a more expensive matcha. For those who are new to matcha, I think it's pretty good and I would buy it again. |

Great! Doesn't taste like fish | January 16, 2013 |

I was extremely intrigued by the cheap price that was listed for this matcha, and figured if it was unsuitable for drinking I could always cook with it. I was pleasantly surprised that this is good quality for a good price. It's has the slightest bitter aftertaste, but it still also has the sweet finish that matcha is know to have. The bitterness isn't strong or off putting. This matcha was also vibrant green when I ordered it and has a nice pleasant aroma. I would also like to note that it doesn't taste like fish/seaweed like I worried. I've bought several loose leaf green teas that have a fishy flavor and I know the green tea lattes at 'everyone's favorite coffee shop' have an unbearably fishy flavor, so I was worried this might have that too. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my matcha, and will definitely reorder when I run out. |
