Green Tea Tablets and Powder (Matcha Green Tea Powder)

Having spent several years in Hong Kong I developed a taste for good quality Matcha Green Tea, since returning back to the UK I found myself testing many brands but none of them measured up to the taste I had grown accustomed to, that is until I tried ZlimZest Matcha Green Tea Powder. I found the taste to be just right not too bitter and overpowering and not powdery. The fineness of the powder meant that it blends very well with anything especially water, I found it did not clump together like so may others.Due to the great quality I also found that I did not need to use as much to get the great taste I am looking for, this means that 1 pouch lasts longer (over 4 weeks), It comes with a measuring spoon which is handy.I new it was good quality the first time I tasted it as it made me feel boosted and energised right from the start, I did nt get this m=with the other teas I had been trying, this feeling you only get from good quality matcha.I highly recommend Zlimzest Match Green Tea.

I don't really know how many times in my life I purchased and tried drinking green tea...a lot! And every time I had to throw away about 18 tea bags (of 20) as I didn't like the taste of those teas. So, I didn't expect too much from any green tea. Having read customers' feedbacks I decided to purchase a pack of Matcha tea. And what can I say after drinking it for 5 days....it's so good, the taste of it is so smooth...it's just lovely! After having a mug of the tea in the morning I really feel full of energy, and I am serious. not joking! No more coffee in the morning - just a mug of Matcha tea - healthy and tasty.

This is the cheapest green tea I have found for the amount you get. I don't drink tea on its own, I don't like it, I prefer coffee. However I am convinced by the health benefits and stimulant properties of green tea. Everything said about this product is true; it is not quite as bright green as the most expensive brand, its raw taste is more bitter, the packaging is problematic. But I wanted it for adding to slimming shakes and found that despite the raw bitterness I cannot taste it in my shake, there is no bitter aftertaste so at this price I am willing to put up with the minor inconvenience of the packaging. I've just ordered my second pouch, I cut off the ziplock and carefully decanted the contents into an old marmalade jar, then cut the pack completely open, scaped out the remains onto a piece of paper and poured that in too. Minimal mess. I knew what I was getting into and think it's a good tradeoff. It's certainly not premium quality and on its own a bit unpalatable, in a blend it's acceptable if you're on a budget. I find it's best to stir this into water first and it disolves quickly and fully, better than if the milk power or any milk is already there.

So very happy with this Tea - it mixes really well and is a lot smoother than some of the other tea's I have tried. Love the little scoop that comes with it taking the stress out of measuring and it came with a recipe book to download which is brilliant and full of useful and authentic ways to use the tea. I've been using Matcha for a few weeks now and it has helped me with my energy levels and bloating - I also have to shout that the suppliers have been incredible with contact to make sure I am happy with the purchase and offering any support if needed. Great product and caring supplier - win win and definitely has my vote and regular custom. Thank you

I never drink tea unless there is absolutely no alternative. However, in the case of Matcha Green Powder, I thought I would make an exception.As an experiment, I added half a heaped teaspoon to a small glass of cold water, and stirred. The resulting mix was a rather dull green colour, not particularly appetising. But then, this is green tea, so what can you expect? It also has the slightly bitter taste of ordinary tea. Again, this is hardly surprising.Having drunk the first glassful, I myself another cuppa. This tea is quite refreshing, and quite nice to drink, even for someone like me who usually never drinks tea.I bought this tea intending to use it in shakes. It comes as a very fine powder, so unpleasant 'bits'. The downside is that the powder can form into a soggy lump when stirred into cold water, so needs careful striiring, but if made as a shake there would be no problem here.I can't comment on the health benefits after only two cups. However, I will certainly buy more when the current 120 gm bag has been used. being in a bag means that the package will easily fit through the letter box. I presume that the tea would keep best in an air-tight jar.Disclaimer: SlimZest have told me that they would supply another 120 gm bag for free in return for a review. This has not affected my review in any way.

The taste is average but as expected for the price. The colour is dark green as opposed to bright and it tastes a bit bitter. However, fast shipping, good value for the amount you get considering matcha is usually quite expensive, but the quality is low as well. You can offset the bitter taste by adding more water or using it in a matcha latte with milk and sugar, but it's hard to drink on it's on unless you like bitter tastes. Overall, you get what you paid for with this. I have tried all kinds of matcha brands both in the UK and when I lived in Japan, and I have to say this matcha is at the bottom end of the quality and taste ladder. If you're a matcha veteran fan like me, I would not recommend this but if you are looking for just the antioxidant affect and don't really care about the taste or plan on using it for desserts, then it is good value for the amount you get.

Will buy again

...ça permet d'avaler cette horreur à moindre prix. Ce qui est marrant dans ce qu'on avale, c'est ce qui est dégoutant qui fait du bien. C'est un anti-oxydant ou anti-occident (à voir à terme) des plus puissants. Perso, je préfère la Bloody Mary, mais comme c'est bon, ça fait du mal.....
