MATCHA DNA Certified Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder (16 oz BAG)

This matcha has a strong and yummy flavor, nice color, and a good texture that’s easy to mix. I’ve had matcha thats impossible to get the lumps out when mixing it into water, but this one dissolves really easily. I’ve ordered this brand a bunch of time and will continue to do so. The bag is resealable, and each time it comes with its own little scoop, which makes it so easy to measure a serving, and also less dishes haha. If you can’t find the scoop just dig for it, and if you do use your own spoon, just make sure to check the serving size; I’ve noticed a lot of matchas are different strengths- some use one or two tablespoons, others (like this one) only a teaspoon. Since this one is a small serving size and still has a potent flavor, the bag lasts me a long time! Lastly, when I drink it, I find I have energy all day long!! As compared to coffee (which I do love) where the energy seems to fade off more quickly leaving me sleepy. I mostly put it in smoothies, lattes, and pancakes. I’d recommend this matcha to anyone! It’s good quality and a good price 🍵

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 had bought the much more expensive matcha brands for years, and was delighted to find that the economical MATCHA DNA is every bit as as effective for the wonderful calm energy that matcha is known for. The flavor is just as good too.

The package is huge and the price was amazing. However it’s a little bitter tasting so not great for drinking. But great value for baking or maybe if sweetened for a latte.

This made me love even more now that I can make it at home!!!

This matcha is pretty good and very strong if you are loose in the wrist when measuring it. In fact my four star review is reflected in the potency of product and the lack of smoothness, which are good in way. I couldn't imagine having more than a teaspoon of this a day unless it was at 5 am in the morning, and anything later would interrupt my sleep. Perhaps I am a light weight. I've drank matcha tea from Starbucks without sleeping issues yet this really makes me alert for some reason. I've been drinking this product for eight months. It took me a few times to know how to make it so that it was not too strong for my taste. I did not have a cappuccino maker so I avoided recipes that required it. I am now a matcha tea recipe addict. I've used it to make smoothies, cake, protein drinks, and my favorite is a matcha green tea slushy with chia seeds, and bobas. You can use whatever you have yet I'll share how I make mine. I pour Kroger's fat free protein vanilla lactose free milk into a 16 ounce cup of ice. Pour the ice milk mixture into a blender, add a teaspoon of matcha, add squirt of coffee syrup with flavor of your choice, and blend until its a slushy consistency you like. Put the Baboa and Chia seeds in the bottom of two eight ounce glasses, top with the matcha slushy mixture, share with another person, or drink both yourself. The drink has protein, fiber, and taste delicious. Another way I like it is to mix the tea with fresh lemongrass, lemon pulp, drip of vanilla, and fresh ginger bits until cool to make a refreshing iced tea. I think I need to try a few other matcha teas to determine how this one measures up.

This is good grade matcha at an excellent price. Matcha is a wonderful choice for those mindful of their health; unlike other types of tea (green or any other) that is simply infused with the tea leaves possibly long after the plant was cut, decreasing nutriients, but with matcha, you’re drinking the actual leaves getting all of the nutrition. This miracle elixir has been consumed for over a millennium in the Far East, and is now considered to be one of the most powerful super foods on the market today for good reason! I put a tsp of matcha powder in my morning smoothie every single day, and if I miss a day I can really feel the difference in concentration, energy, and vitality. I love it for all of the protective health benefits, too. No wonder the Japanese are the longest living people on the planet! The health benefits of matcha are many: 1)Matcha is highly antioxidant, one tsp. provides over 5 times as many antioxidants as any other food – the highest rated by the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) method. 2) Matcha is scientifically proven to prevent prostate cancer (and no doubt most other types) because it is high in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg). Out of all the antioxidants, EGCg is the most widely recognized for its cancer fighting properties. Scientists have found that Matcha Green Tea contains over 100 times more EGCg than any other tea on the market 3)Chinese Daoists and Japanese Zen Buddhist monks as a means to relax and meditate while remaining alert. Now we know that this higher state of consciousness is due to the amino acid L-Theanine contained in the leaves used to make Matcha. L-Theanine promotes the production of alpha waves in the brain which induces relaxation; 4) Another effect of L-Theanine is the production of dopamine and serotonin. These two chemicals serve to enhance mood, improve memory, and promote better concentration 5) Increases energy more efficiently than coffee: Samurai, the noble warriors of medieval and early-modern Japan, drank Matcha Green Tea before going into battle due to the tea’s energizing properties. While all green tea naturally contains caffeine, the energy boost received from Matcha is largely due to its unique combination of other nutrients. The increased endurance from a bowl of Matcha Green Tea can last up to 6 hours and because of the effects of L-Theanine, Matcha drinkers experience none of the usual side-effects of stimulants such as nervousness and hypertension. It’s good, clean energy! 6) Helps weight loss. Drinking Matcha Green Tea has also been shown to increase metabolism and help the body burn fat about four times faster than average. Again, unlike many diet aides currently on the market, Matcha causes no negative side-effects such as increased heart rate and high blood pressure. 7) Improves immune system. The catechins in Matcha Green Tea have been shown to have antibiotic properties which promote overall health. Additionally, just one bowl of Matcha Green Tea provides substantial quantities of Potassium, Vitamins A & C, Iron, Protein, and Calcium. Further studies have even suggested that the nutrients in Matcha may have the ability to inhibit the attacks of HIV on human T-cells. 8) Detoxifies. The high levels of chlorophyll in Matcha Green Tea not only give this tea its beautiful vibrant green color. Matcha is also a powerful detoxifier capable of naturally removing heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body. 9 )Lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and raised HDL (good cholesterol). Matcha Green Tea has a positive effect on cholesterol, studies of different populations have show that people who drink Match Green Tea on a regular basis have lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while at the same time displaying higher levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. Men who drink Matcha Green Tea are about 11% less likely to develop heart disease than those who don’t drink Matcha. I am so glad that I found this certified organic matcha at such a great price! I am a regular customer, and will be for life!!

This is the first matcha powder I have ever purchased. I used to purchase matcha beverages from high end coffee and tea shops so I decided I wanted to make it myself and save some money. After researching a lot of types I decided on this one. I wanted this one because it was organic and a good price. I have seen it for $20 at a certain fancy tea shop by the register and it was in a small little tin. So when I saw this product I knew it was a great deal. It came quickly and in a mylar resealable bag. I opened it and it smelled wonderful. Exactly what I was used to. The powder is fine and bright green. I saw some other reviews that their tea was a different color and they were disappointed, mine was absolutely perfect. I put a little in some hot water and added some sugar and it was wonderful ,floral and fragrant. That day it was snowing like crazy outside , I got bored and decided to try and bake with it, I made a small cake and added a tablespoon to it and it came out green and delicious! I recommend this matcha tea powder, you can make much more than a drink with it. I added a photo of my beverage, I should have taken a picture of the cake. Really good stuff. I would purchase again.
