Got this tea as a gift. The tea is a yellowish-greenish color and came sealed in a clear glass container. The tea had a very smooth taste, with a slight bitterness. I did add a little Truvia that gave it a some sweetness towards the end, It also has very similar characteristics to Dragonwell green tea. I think this is a great "first green tea" for those first exploring the variety.

Site Spotlight - Ratetea.com

The purpose of RateTea is to encourage people to develop their appreciation of tea and promote sustainability in the world of tea. RateTea was founded in 2009 by Alex Zorach, and is owned and managed through Merit Exchange LLC. RateTea launched to the public on Sep. 18, 2009.

They keep a database of teas indexed by brand, style, and region. Although it is not the largest database on the web (Steepster currently has a larger database), the site claims to be the most detailed database available. Single-region teas are classified to the level of provinces, states, districts, or counties, when this information is available. Rather than classify teas broadly (black, green, etc.) they identify particular varieties of each of these broad classes of tea, both to help people discover the vast richness of tea traditions, and also so that teas can be compared against truly similar teas.

Evening Matcha Green Tea Latte

I usually like to have green tea lattes in the morning but this evening I was just in the mood. 

Here is my easy recipe. All you need is a teaspoon of matcha green tea, milk (I prefer almond milk) and a little sweetener.

Mix the matcha power in 6 oz of hot water. Stir until dissolved. Add 6 oz of almond milk plus sweetener (I prefer Truvia). Stir again. Pop into microwave for 30 seconds and enjoy!

Did you know that one glass of matcha is the equivalent of 10 glasses of green tea in terms of its nutritional value and antioxidant content.

    About me

    Hello, I’m Steve. I’m 55, live in Dayton, Ohio and I have a passion for everything green tea. I love learning and expanding my knowledge of green tea and its health benefits, and then sharing it with others. I have varied and diverse interests that include the love of golf, basketball, wine, and music (alternative and smooth jazz).  I’m married to the most wonderful woman in the world and have three grown children (all girls).

    I have always been a tea drinker as I never acquired the taste for coffee like everyone else around me. But my love for green tea really started when I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or CLL.  CLL is the most common type of leukemia. Most people are diagnosed without symptoms as the result of a routine blood test that returns a high white blood cell count, as was in my case. I’m still in the early stages in what is called “Watch and Wait” mode, and my goal is to stay in this stage and never have to be treated!

    I used to consume a lot of carbonated beverages. This was not good from a nutrition standpoint, as nutrients play a key role in taking care of my CLL. Over time I have learned about the connection between what we consume and how it contributes to our overall health.

    My tea preferences are still evolving. I really like teas, both hot and iced. I’m still learning about loose teas and how to brew them. My favorite drink when I’m out and about is a Matcha tea latte from Starbucks.
