MATCHA DNA Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder - 10 oz Pure Premium Culinary Grade Matcha (283 Grams)USDA Organic

For the price this stuff it hard to beat. I think it tastes great by itself or in a smoothie!

Still getting use to the bitterness, but I have been feeling so good drinking this tea. My friend recommended that I don't add anything to sweeten the tea as it would hinder the benefits. As bitter as the beverage may be by itself, I don't find it that difficult to drink it on a daily basis. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who isn't use to drinking tea like this. I'm sure this would taste great to seasoned tea veterans. If nothing else, however, it isn't nearly as difficult to drink as black coffee! Well, at least not to me.I've been drinking Publix's bottled green tea inconsistently up until now. I would have loved to be able to drink it more often, but it was difficult for me to afford them due to their price and expiration date. I considered buying the bags and making the tea myself, but I wasn't so sure if it was worth it. I did take a step out of my comfort zone in buying this as well, but my friend was so enthusiastic about the product that I just had to try it. I am so glad I did, too!One thing I was so happy to read about from another Amazon reviewer was how easy it was to brew using a Keurig. And it is; all I have to do is take a teaspoon of powder, put it in a cup, and fill it with hot water from the brewer. It's so easy! I personally use the 8oz button since my model is older and doesn't have the 10oz size. Since 6oz is less than the recommended amount, I definitely didn't want to use the smallest cup size. Considering how much I've gotten tired of drinking coffee, I'm glad I can still put this brewer to good use. And I absolutely can't drink coffee without creamer and sugar, so I'm probably making a healthier switch by going with plain matcha.As a source of caffeine, I am definitely not disappointed with this. Not only do I feel more awake, but I feel more alive than I do drinking anything else! Even when I was drinking coffee, I was still feeling kinda sluggish a while after drinking it and felt like I had to have more than one cup. With this tea, one cup is all I need to get me through the day. It's even helping me with my insomnia! I'm not medically inclined enough to know how the tea works, but I definitely do feel healthier from drinking this. The person who recommended it to me would know how, but he just kinda explained the benefits to me in layman's terms. But whatever it does, it definitely works! With how much benefit I've had in the little amount of time I've been using it, I'm really looking forward to experiencing what this tea does for me in the long run.I will definitely be recommending this matcha to as many people as I can. My grandmother is a much bigger tea drinker than I am, so I'll definitely have her try a cup next time she visits me. I bet she would love to have this!

I was the type of person drinking one to two lattes a day, with no breaks.Recently, I made the choice to cut out coffee, and switched it for this product in my lattes.My energy levels have doubled- no crashes. I can’t say thank you, enough! :)

This matcha is effective and fresh enough to be used for a long time. However, its quality is not as good as original matcha and the drinks it makes are a little bit bitter.

This stuff is amazing! It really gives me the energy boost I need in the mornings (and throughout the day for that matter). I'm not a coffee drinker at all because it tends to leave me "fuzzy". I get jittery and I crash as soon as the caffeine starts to wear off. My child's pediatrician recommended matcha to me in a conversation about tea once and I decided to give it a try. The amount of tea you get with this product for the price is incredible! It's worth every penny and I'm so glad I gave it a try. It seems to give me a sustained energy boost, even though I only use half of what it calls for. After convincing my husband to try it, he agrees. A couple tips/notes:1- The zip top isn't the best from what I can tell, so I take a small container and portion some out to use every few weeks. That way I'm not opening and closing the zip top too often.2- The package says a serving is 1/2 tsp, but I only use 1/4. It works perfectly for the caffeine-jittery person like myself. And that way, I don't feel bad about sprinkling a bit extra into my herbal infusions or other teas throughout the day for a little extra energy boost.3- I usually can't consume much caffeine after 4pm because it seems to keep me up at night. This tea however, doesn't seem to have the same effect. I've had it watered down as late as 6pm and fell asleep like a baby by 11:30.4- If the flavor is too strong for you, try half a tablespoon of honey mixed in at first. Then you can go down to a teaspoon and eventually you won't need any honey at all.5- This tea is great hot or iced, but I've found it to be terrible lukewarm. When making iced, be sure to heat it first then cool it with ice to be sure as much has dissolved as possible. You will still need to shake or stir before each sip, regardless of how you prepare it.I highly recommend this tea. I've read a few articles online that claim matcha can help with weightloss as well. Jury is still out on that one for me though. Buy it and enjoy!

Matcha is not really my "thing" but my family LOVES it... all ages from my husband down to my toddler... we make iced drinks & stir in a little bit, so the kids don't get a crazy amount of caffeine, but just enough to enjoy the flavor of it & the health benefits. We don't drink soda, coffee, etc. so we get very minimal caffeine.. this is our one "treat". I have gotten used to the matcha taste, which I would describe as earthy, maybe even grass-like... but will say I think it is slightly better tasting than moringa leaf power, which I drink to boost my milk supply... we add a bit of backyard honey & it takes the edge off.. the other day I actually asked for a matcha lemonade icy, so it must be growing on me! lol We make the lemonade icy with ice, water, lemon juice, backyard honey, & some matcha... YUM!I WOULD purchase this again.. in fact, this latest bag was a treat for hubby to keep at work because he has replaced soda, coffee, etc with matcha & herb tea. He is not one that is big on earthy type flavors, & would only agree to take vitamins when I got him gummy ones (yeah, seriously...but I choose my battles.. so gummy vitamins for him, it is).. so it must not be very gross if he will drink it & actually ASK for it.
