Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

This is the first time I've heard about powdered green tea. I do enjoy it and knowing the health benefits and fiber it contains. However, I would recommend to purchase a matcha wisk for this tea, it's better than trying to stir it with a spoon (clumpy). I plan on purchasing this again and again.

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

I mixed this in ice cream and it gave it some nice flavor. I also liked it in a smoothie. I even want to experiment with using it in breads and Asian foods; it could fit with non-sweet tastes as well as sweet. It is basically a nutritional supplement.
By itself it was a beautiful green color, but to me didn't have much flavor. It was kind of lumpy, and some people talked about mixing in a machine, but for me the point of having it in powder form is to make it simpler.

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

If you like green tea...YOU MUST TRY THIS...a little tip from a japanese friend of mine that is just amazing is this...sprinkle on top of ice cream (usually vanilla, try that first then experiment) This is so delicious. It also makes amzing tea all by itself, but you must try it on ice cream or even shaved ice...yum!!!

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

I don't know a lot about matcha, but from others, I wasn't sure that I would like it. I was wrong though! We mixed this with soymilk and rock sugar and it was delicious. Bastardizing the tradition? Perhaps, but delicious.

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

I love matcha - it's such a unique tea and can be a personal experience in making it. From thick to thin you can have it your way. It's health and excellent quality. Not for everyone - but anyone who appreciates a truly good quality green tea or looking for a new tea experience it's perfect for. Also can be used in cooking and baking. It's a very versatile tea. If you like the Kuki Matcha tea you'll most likely appreciated it. And it comes with superior health benefits.

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

I bought this tea for a friend who is fighting breast cancer. She had little to no appetite but drank a cup of this tea. After, she ate some soup, foccacia bread and salad. She is drinking it four times a day now and has a much better appetite. Her mood has also greatly improved. I am so glad we found this tea!

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

matcha puts me in the best mood! energized but calm and focused. it can actually take you out of a bad mood. really nice and now i am addicted. it is an acquired taste but once you feel the effects it changes how you feel about it.
i've started my tea ceremony by getting the special matcha bowl, putting a teaspoon of matcha in the bowl, pouring about 8 oz of water, wet the whisk then whisk the tea until the bubbles form then quickly add the german rock cane sugar 1 teaspoon whisk more and drink.

my little boy of 21 months tried it today and said "hot" "good" small joys.

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

I love this tea. I purchased something similar while in Hawaii that was from Japan, but that tea did not even come close to what Teavana offers. Teavana's matcha is smooth (no residual), fresh, very green in color which means it is high in chlorophyll and not degraded....Simply Awesome!!

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

I love to use this product for green tea lattes. I am not at a point where I would like this product without milk or sweetener added. I bought the product with the intention of using it for the lattes and because of that I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and will continue to order this product indefinitely.

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

I love most of the teavana green tea's, steaped with water only and no added extra's. I tried this with water only and did not care for the taste. Once I added milk and a little sugar it was the flavor I was looking for. Next time I'm going to try it with all milk and make a latte, that seems to be the consistancy that I enjoy with this tea powder.

I also used my espresso frother to mix it up, it made the drink quite smooth.

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

This is actually the first time I've tried Matcha. I was interested in it because it doesn't require the hassle of steeping, making it an all-around, anytime, anyplace kind of tea. It's something I can drink whenever I feel like it without the awkwardness of steeping (it looked strange the last time I steeped my tea at the local 7-11). And the greatest thing is that it has the most health benefits than the teas that require steeping. I get the same health benefits without the hassle. The taste is also really smooth. And because of it's nature, I never experience the bitterness that over-steeped tea sometimes produces.

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

This is a very unique tea from the others at Teavana. I use the milk frother to mix it up smoothly; I enjoy this one especially mid-day as an alternative to coffee, and love the extra health benefits compared to normal green teas! I typically brew a little silver needle and sugar, and then add that to the matcha and mix it up together.

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

This is a decent tasting Matcha for the price- I've tried many and been disapointed. All Matcha are lumpy by nature- I use (may the Japanese tea Gods forgive me!) a milk frother designed for making cappucinos in a 1/4 of hot water to blend it to absolute smooth consistency; then add more hot water, or soy milk to make a healthy drink- add 1/2 tsp of maple syrup if you like it sweeter.
My biggest complaint is that I order it online in mass quantities- and cannot order it in a bag- have to order dozens of little tins- quite wasteful.

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

I've tried a couple matcha teas and this has been the best so far. Matcha has a unique taste, though not bad. I had bought some cheaper stuff before and had to mix milk and honey with it for it to be drinkable. This however I can enjoy by itself. I also bought the matcha whisk which really helps to mix the powder. It also helps to start with a clean dry cup. If there is moisture the powder tends to clump. Add powder first and then whisk as you are pouring the hot water or very soon after. This will also help with clumping problems. Very Enjoyable!

Comments about Teavana Matcha Green Tea:

My favorite aspect of Match tea is that you're consuming the whole leaf in powdered form. I've read a few books on Green Tea and basically what sets this tea apart from the others is its antioxidant value. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in particular is present in Matcha at a much higher concentration simply because you're not just drinking the steep. If health is your highest priority, I would say look no further. If taste is your highest priority I'd just say add sugar: )
