Pumeli Matcha Powder, Calming Green Tea, Japanese Organic – 30g tin

The first thing i noticed opening the jar was that it had a tamper seal which is nice, the second thing was how finely ground it was.After watching some youtube videos on how to properly prepare it I gave it a try. From what i was the water should not be too hot, so i used a thermometer to check that it was the appropriate temperature before mixing it.I just used a normal whisk, not one of the special bamboo whisks that I saw them using in the videos. I think that is what caused me to have some lumps that did not dissolve when i mixed it.The taste was nice, except for when i had a lump of matcha, then it was pretty bitter. I think that was due to my whisking, not the quality of the tea since it was a very fine powder before i added the water. If I'm able to find a good whisk i will update this review with my new experience.Over all I'd recommend this if your want to try out matcha, good quality product.I received this product at a discount price in exchange for my fair and honest review, which I am giving on my own free will.

Wow...what a terrific product...comes in a cute little tin which is PERFECT if you need to go travelling and can take this with you for tea on the go....although if you tasted it directly from the packet it's pretty bitter stuff yet it is packed full of ORGANIC goodness.this pack comes in a Cute 30gm tin which will last ages as you only need a little bit. I add 1tsp to smoothies in the morning...absolutely amazed at what this stuff can do....Matcha has a long standing tradition of Japanese culture..it is the highest quality powdered green tea available. Made from the nutrient-rich young leaves picked from the tips of shade-grown Camellia sinensis plants, Matcha Green Tea is steamed, stemmed, and de-vined before being stone-ground into very fine powder.Matcha Green Tea powder is then stored away from light and oxygen in order to preserve its brilliant green color and antioxidant properties. 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.Fortunately, unlike a lot of other teas which require sugar, milk, or lemon to make them palatable to the average consumer, Matcha is absolutely wonderful all by itself. It’s crisp vegetative notes are complimented by the savory taste of the L-Theanine amino acid making Matcha a tea that is truly unique in every way. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a delicious bowl of hot Matcha.Researchers aren’t entirely certain how Matcha Green Tea has such a positive effect on cholesterol, however 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.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. During the last three weeks before tea leaves are harvested to be made into Matcha, Camellia sinensis are covered to deprive them of sunlight. This causes a tremendous increase in chlorophyll production in the new growth of these plants. The resulting 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. 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. amurai, 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. Another side-effect of L-Theanine is the production of dopamine and serotonin. These two chemicals serve to enhance mood, improve memory, and promote better concentration – something that can benefit everyone!Among antioxidants, catechins are the most potent and beneficial. One specific catechin called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) makes up 60% of the catechins in Matcha Green Tea. 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. We’ve all read this word before. Antioxidants are the magical nutrients and enzymes responsible for fighting against the negative effects of UV radiation, giving us younger-looking skin, and preventing a number of life-threatening maladies. Antioxidants are something that all health-conscious individuals seek from such foods as raw fruits, green veggies, and (let’s not forget) dark chocolate. The first amazing benefit of Matcha Green Tea is that just one bowl provides over 5 times as many antioxidants as any other food – the highest rated by the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) method.

Matcha tea is kinda scary to those who want to try it. You hear that if it isn't whipped properly it will be gritty or you'll get lumpy bits that don't taste great. Which can happen but the truth is, it's really not that hard to make if you have a quality product. It just takes a little time, patience and attention and the results are SO worth it!! Pumeli- Matcha green tea powder is quality and a wonderful tea. Open the tin and the aroma is heavenly. It is deep green and finely ground which makes the whisking easier and lowers the chance of lumps. Some other brands I've tried have been bitter and harsh but is not the case with Pumeli. This Matcha powder makes a wonderful teal that is really smooth and rich tasting. Organic does make a difference IMHO.This comes in a pretty 1oz tin.I have a small kitchen whisk I used to make my tea but will be getting a proper tea whisk for this. I put one spoon of tea in a couple spoons of water in a mug and whisked. I then added about half cup of hot soymilk (you can use almond milk or cows milk) and whisked again. Taste and add a bit more hot milk if needed. Then just add a bit of agave, honey, powered monk fruit or sweetener of your choice if desired. EASY and good for you.Disclaimer: I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
