- Sick Customer
- After first use, no problem, but after a few days.........
I began to experience severe gastric reflux followed by intensively painful chest pains. Things seem to have normalized after I proceeded to stop intake of this tea. Now I proceed to expect a call from the seller for a refund on my purchase. - 2008-09-03, 0 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Happy with purchase and service
- The product is as advertised and of good quality. Service was prompt and professional. The matcha was of good quality taste, texture and color.
I do feel the total cost is high for what you get but I am pleased with my overall purchase. - 2008-08-13, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Love this tea!
- This kit is a great way for a beginner with Matcha to get started. I happen to really enjoy the taste of this green tea. Not all in my family feel this way. There are many ways to drink this tea. The most popular way is in a Matcha yogurt smoothie or au Lait.
Also purchased the cookbook, "New Tastes in Green Tea", by Mutsuko Tokunaga. This has very good recipes for someone new to the uses of this tea. Our family also enjoys this matcha tea sprinkled over rice and in sauces. Our next Matcha Green Tea adventure will be Matcha butter on green tea scones or maybe a matcha syrup over icecream or in a Quiche. Matcha has become the best new condiment / medicinal ingredient in our home. Outstanding product and service from a company carried by Amazon. Thanks to the staff of both companies for answering so many questions. - A - 2008-07-09, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Heavenly!!
- I had read in a running magazine that tea was good for weight loss. I started poking around the internet to find out more about that idea, and found, actually, that it is green tea that has been shown to aid in weight loss.
As I read about green tea I found out about EGCG, which green tea contains, which is the strongest of any known antioxidant. EGCG has been shown to aid in lowering cholesterol, help with arthritis, discourage cancer, etc. As I read I found out about matcha, which is powdered green tea. Instead of brewing matcha, you mix it into warm/hot water and drink the mixture. Because you are ingesting the tea leaves you get much more EGCG, as well as chlorophyll.
The green of matcha reminded me of the green of wheat grass juice, which, to me, is a nasty way to get chlorophyll, which is also supposedly very healthy to drink. I was curious, searched around on Amazon for matcha, and bought this starter kit.
The matcha was a breeze to make, I heated some water, poured about 1/3 cup of water into a bowl, added a teaspoon of the tea, whisked it for about 30 seconds and drank it. I found its flavor tea-like, but different, and better, than any tea I'd ever had.
This tea is expensive, but it, and the experience, are sublime. I bought matcha for health reasons, but it's a delightful addition to my day as well. - 2008-06-21, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Complete!!
- Everything you need to get started with a REAL green tea experience...this is not the bland green tea you find in individual bags..yet it is VERY easy to brew a cup in minutes.
Highly recommend this set!!! - 2007-05-20, 9 of 9 people found this review helpful, Rated:
