Thanks to Kiss Me Organics and Tomoson, I was given a sample of Organic Matcha Green Tea to review.
What is Green Tea Matcha?
Green matcha tea
Matcha, a form of green tea, is a very fine powder derived from the plant Camellia Sinensis that can be harvested from anywhere in the world. Unlike other green tea varieties, this plant is grown in the shade, resulting in a much greener leaf with a higher concentration of healthy amino acids.
Since it's a powder and not a full leaf/pieces of leaves, it can be used in cooking and baking.

Matcha Green Tea Powder Health Benefits: EGCGTaste of Matcha Green Tea
Matcha green tea can have a very strong taste, depending on how much you use. When I first tried this matcha, I put way too much into my water and it resulted in a very, very strong taste. Just a little goes a long way!When using the matcha in recipes, I found that depending on what is being made, the matcha taste was barely there. Plus, if a sweenter is used (I use honey in my tea), the matcha taste is actually pleasant.

How Much Matcha Should You Use?
To gain the health benefits of matcha green tea, only a teaspoon is needed every day. If you are sensitive to caffeine, however, you may want to start out with a much smaller amount and gradually work your way up to one teaspoon or a little more. I didn't know that the matcha packed such a powerful caffeine punch, so after my first taste I had a wicked headache. Once I realized that I used too much and lowered the amount, I did not get any headaches and instead felt an energy boost.Green Tea Latte Recipe
Green Tea Latte Receipe using Matcha
Kiss Me Organics sent me a 70 page recipe booklet to make some creations with the matcha green tea. One of my favorites is the green tea latte. It has a smooth taste and is perfect for a mid-day pick me up.
As you can tell in the picture, the latte has a green hue. Pretty much, anything you make with the matcha is going to have a slight greenish tint, but it's not necessary to see the green to have the health benefits.
