Matcha Green Tea Review

When I'm traveling, I like trying different types of foods and drinks and even though I kinda am a picky eater, I end up liking some foods that I didn't think I would like. When I was in Singapore, I always went to a Sushi restaurant and they always served green tea. It's a staple in Japanese restaurants. To be honest, I don't really particularly like the flavor of green tea. That's why I don't really order it whenever I eat at a Japanese restaurant.

Then I met my husband who LOVES green tea. Actually he loves MATCHA green tea. What's the difference? With traditional green tea, leaves get infused in hot water, and then you usually discard the leaves after steeping it for a few minutes. With matcha, the leaves have been finely made into a powder, which means you’re drinking the actual leaves in the form of "powdered tea" mixed with water. And the good thing is, you can use Matcha not just for tea but also in smoothies, shakes, lattes, in baking, etc.

My husband would always encourage me to try it, and he would enumerate all the benefits that it gives, like how it boosts energy and memory and helps you focus. He says it's also a metabolic booster and fat burner. It lowers cholesterol and healthier than brewed green tea. I said, why not, I'll try it, so one day I received this Organic Matcha Green Tea for free for me to try in exchange for my honest review. I tried this recipe, and I actually liked it! Matcha is in fact starting to grow on me. I can tell it's made of Premium grade Matcha and I really like the color. Very smooth tasting. I prefer cold matcha recipes over hot teas and lattes.

I will continue to drink this brand of Matcha from now on so I can reap the benefits and make my body healthier so I can continue traveling in the years to come. I might bring Matcha with me in my travels. Have you tried Matcha, and did you like it?
