The great folks at Matcha Organics offered me this product for a discounted price in exchange for a review. All opinions stated here are my own. For more information please visit my disclosure page.
If you don’t know, I really, really, REALLY love green tea. For awhile I have been wanting to try Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder because I heard so many great things about it. I have read articles about how it helps with energy, metabolism and memory/focus. Since I am starting 2016 trying to live a healthier lifestyle, this was the perfect time to try it out.
You can use Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder for lattes, smoothies, shakes and baking.
The package suggests using 1/2 to 1 tsp per day. I would suggest starting with 1/2 tsp and working your way up. If you are not used to a strong or bitter tea flavor start at the lower end and/or add a sweetener.
Here are two recipes that I have used so far:
Hot Matcha Green Tea
– 1 cup hot water
– 1/2 tsp Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder
– honey or agave syrup (optional)
Iced Matcha Green Tea Lemonade
– 1/4 cup hot water
– 1/2 Tsp Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder
– 3 tablespoons lemon juice
– honey, agave syrup or your favorite sweetener (optional)
Directions: Mix hot water and Organic Matcha Green Tea Extract Powder until powder is dissolved. Mix cold water and lemon juice. Take both mixtures and pour over ice. You can always add more lemon juice and a sweetener.
My first time making a beverage, I noticed a boost in energy nearly right away. I felt a little peppy but without the jittery feeling. It was the perfect energy boost for the busy day that I had. After I use up this packet of powder I may just have to order more of it.
Since we are on break from school, I can’t give a full opinion about the memory and focus aspect, however, I did notice I felt a bit more clear-headed. Green tea often does that to me, so I sort of expected that from my experience with this product.

Oooo I love Green tea lattes… I forget… I need to go and get some 🙂 Thanks for the reminder 😉
Not a problem! I am really enjoying this green tea powder. I want to try baking with it as well.
Great Recipe. Will definitely have to try it!
Thank you! Let me know if you like it or any other recipes you may have for green tea.
I have used matcha green tea powder before and loved it. I haven’t had it in awhile, so I’ll need to go back drinking it again. Thanks for the recipes Rose! #ProductReviewParty
You’re welcome and thank you so much for stopping by!
I have yet to try matcha myself, which is surprising because I love tea! But now I see it is easier than the “proverbial they” make it seem! Thanks for posting and so happy to have found your blog!
XO to the MOON and back!

I really, really love tea but the green powder made me think long and hard. But I had read so many great reviews about it and I am the type of person to at least give things a try one time to really know if I like it and I really enjoyed it. You should try some and thank you so much for visiting and commenting.
