UMatcha Ginger
Premium UMatcha Ginger is unlike regular green tea, these tender, shade-grown leaves are ground to a fine powder creating a spicy kick of flavors in baked goods or savory dishes. This exceptional tea is abundant in nutrients and has the balanced flavors of what is referred to as umami (literally, "yummy" in Japanese). Premium UMatcha Ginger wakes up the flavors of miso soup, stir-fry, and sweet desserts.

Tastes like seaweed | March 22, 2013 |

This tea was not my cup of tea. Package as loose tea that is stirred into hot water. Found it to be rather strong, so go light at first. Very strong flavor, tastes like seaweed. Blah. |

A touch of ginger is perfect | December 04, 2012 |

I love this delicate, soft matcha. It is perfect in plain greek yogurt, as well as a cup of tea, and I have used it in veggies. I agree with the previous reviewer, it is small for the price. So it has to be a treat and not a regular choice for me. And I would love to have it more often. |

I bought this to make green tea ice cream, and I thought it would be a full tin. Instead, it's a very small bag inside of the tin. It tasted really good but had no ginger flavor. Also, it's overpriced for the quantity that you get. |
Pour 1/2 cup of milk into a medium bowl; sprinkle 2 teaspoons gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the following in a large saucepan:
2 tablespoons umatcha powder
2 1/2 cups cream
1/2 cup sugar
another 1/2 cup milk
Cut open vanilla bean and scrape seeds into saucepan; toss in bean. Simmer over medium heat and stir until sugar has dissolved.
Remove from heat; cover and let steep for 15 minutes. Warm cream mixture to a simmer again. Add gelatin mixture and stir until it has dissolved. Strain the mixture. Divide among 8 ramekins. Chill uncovered until panna cotta is set (around 6 hours).
