Matcha green tea

[English Tracy]

I've just read about this and how it is estimated to have at least 10 times the nutrients of regular green tea and to contain up to 137 times more antioxidants.

Matcha tea is apparently a ground powder that dissolves in water so the body absorbs more of the nutrients. Many of the nutrients naturally found in tea are lost after infusing then removing a tea bag as they are not water soluble.

OK - so the science sounds good but has anybody actually tried this tea? As it's a powder you could probably just use warm water to mix it rather than boiled.

BUT ..... is it raw?

I bought a box for under 20$ on amazon.com awhile ago, and it sure looks and tastes raw.

It's a vibrant green, and no other ingredients are listed.
It's strong though, I think I'm going to buy a capsule machine and just take it as a supplement.

I have the powder too...I don't take it personally..but I have sold some to my customers. It seems to give them a ZING ..like caffeine. They come in all hopped up and want to buy more. Makes me feel like a drug pusher. I think there might be some sort of natural caffeine in them. Which is why I don't try it..because I get headaches from caffeine.

I don't think it is raw though. the only way to know for sure is contact the manufacturer and ask what their drying temperatures are.
