MATCHA DNA Certified Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder (16 oz BAG)

This matcha has a strong and yummy flavor, nice color, and a good texture that’s easy to mix. I’ve had matcha thats impossible to get the lumps out when mixing it into water, but this one dissolves really easily. I’ve ordered this brand a bunch of time and will continue to do so. The bag is resealable, and each time it comes with its own little scoop, which makes it so easy to measure a serving, and also less dishes haha. If you can’t find the scoop just dig for it, and if you do use your own spoon, just make sure to check the serving size; I’ve noticed a lot of matchas are different strengths- some use one or two tablespoons, others (like this one) only a teaspoon. Since this one is a small serving size and still has a potent flavor, the bag lasts me a long time! Lastly, when I drink it, I find I have energy all day long!! As compared to coffee (which I do love) where the energy seems to fade off more quickly leaving me sleepy. I mostly put it in smoothies, lattes, and pancakes. I’d recommend this matcha to anyone! It’s good quality and a good price 🍵

Still getting use to the bitterness, but I have been feeling so good drinking this tea. My friend recommended that I don't add anything to sweeten the tea as it would hinder the benefits. As bitter as the beverage may be by itself, I don't find it that difficult to drink it on a daily basis. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who isn't use to drinking tea like this. I'm sure this would taste great to seasoned tea veterans. If nothing else, however, it isn't nearly as difficult to drink as black coffee! Well, at least not to me. I've been drinking Publix's bottled green tea inconsistently up until now. I would have loved to be able to drink it more often, but it was difficult for me to afford them due to their price and expiration date. I considered buying the bags and making the tea myself, but I wasn't so sure if it was worth it. I did take a step out of my comfort zone in buying this as well, but my friend was so enthusiastic about the product that I just had to try it. I am so glad I did, too! One thing I was so happy to read about from another Amazon reviewer was how easy it was to brew using a Keurig. And it is; all I have to do is take a teaspoon of powder, put it in a cup, and fill it with hot water from the brewer. It's so easy! I personally use the 8oz button since my model is older and doesn't have the 10oz size. Since 6oz is less than the recommended amount, I definitely didn't want to use the smallest cup size. Considering how much I've gotten tired of drinking coffee, I'm glad I can still put this brewer to good use. And I absolutely can't drink coffee without creamer and sugar, so I'm probably making a healthier switch by going with plain matcha. As a source of caffeine, I am definitely not disappointed with this. Not only do I feel more awake, but I feel more alive than I do drinking anything else! Even when I was drinking coffee, I was still feeling kinda sluggish a while after drinking it and felt like I had to have more than one cup. With this tea, one cup is all I need to get me through the day. It's even helping me with my insomnia! I'm not medically inclined enough to know how the tea works, but I definitely do feel healthier from drinking this. The person who recommended it to me would know how, but he just kinda explained the benefits to me in layman's terms. But whatever it does, it definitely works! With how much benefit I've had in the little amount of time I've been using it, I'm really looking forward to experiencing what this tea does for me in the long run. I will definitely be recommending this matcha to as many people as I can. My grandmother is a much bigger tea drinker than I am, so I'll definitely have her try a cup next time she visits me. I bet she would love to have this!

Great macha taste and super easy to use.

I add it to my rice and peanuts dish and it tastes great. The packaging is mildly annoying because its tough to get to the remnants when it gets low, and the dipper provided is always hiding. The product itself is fantastic, though.

I had bought the much more expensive matcha brands for years, and was delighted to find that the economical MATCHA DNA is every bit as as effective for the wonderful calm energy that matcha is known for. The flavor is just as good too.

I spent a long time agonising over which matcha to buy because I've read a lot of negative comments about what's "real" matcha and how it's supposed to taste. Since I lived in Japan and went to tea ceremony once a week as part of my university's (Chubu Daigaku) culture classes, I'm very familiar with the taste and colour. I also was invited to various friend's houses for matcha, and had it in many different cities, from Kyoto, Tokyo, and Osaka, to Kasugai, Nagoya, and Hiroshima, at temples and shrines, high schools, and traditional hotels and spas. I've had it prepared in a village that still lives as though they are Edo time. I've had it probably well over a hundred times. I think a lot of others are quite confused. First of all, even in Japan, not many tea houses serve the really high end ceremonial grade. They can't afford to do so. Most often you're going to get middle grade stuff, and only pull out the expensive stuff for very special occasions. It seems like people online think you can only get the real benefits and you're only drinking "real" matcha if it costs 100 bucks an ounce, or something. This powder is a great, great bargain. It tastes EXACTLY like the matcha I had on a regular basis in Japan. The colour is a bit darker than some of the preparations I've had, but the smell and taste are dead on. Matcha is *supposed* to be bitter and earthy--that's why they serve it with an overly sweet cake to help counter the taste. It is definitely an acquired taste, but just because you don't like it doesn't mean this isn't good quality stuff. I was worried when I bought this, but now that I've received it, I know where I'll be ordering from now on.

I’m a matcha lover and I’ve tried a lot of brands. My go-to matcha is around $50 for a small can, so I wanted something more affordable and thought I’d try MATCHA DNA Certified Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder (10 oz bag). I’ve been testing it for the last few weeks. The packaging is pretty and the bag is a good size, but unfortunately I don’t love the taste, or the lack of taste. I tried it with unsweetened oat milk and unsweetened almond milk, and I don’t use any sweetener. If you’re someone who really loves that classic matcha flavor, you might be disappointed with this one. When I opened the bag, I could tell right away from the darker green color that it probably wouldn’t be as vibrant as I was hoping. If you do want to test it out, I’d recommend starting with a smaller bag first. I’m going to give the rest of mine to my sister.

This is good grade matcha at an excellent price. Matcha is a wonderful choice for those mindful of their health; unlike other types of tea (green or any other) that is simply infused with the tea leaves possibly long after the plant was cut, decreasing nutriients, but with matcha, you’re drinking the actual leaves getting all of the nutrition. This miracle elixir has been consumed for over a millennium in the Far East, and is now considered to be one of the most powerful super foods on the market today for good reason! I put a tsp of matcha powder in my morning smoothie every single day, and if I miss a day I can really feel the difference in concentration, energy, and vitality. I love it for all of the protective health benefits, too. No wonder the Japanese are the longest living people on the planet! The health benefits of matcha are many: 1)Matcha is highly antioxidant, one tsp. provides over 5 times as many antioxidants as any other food – the highest rated by the ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) method. 2) Matcha is scientifically proven to prevent prostate cancer (and no doubt most other types) because it is high in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg). Out of all the antioxidants, EGCg is the most widely recognized for its cancer fighting properties. Scientists have found that Matcha Green Tea contains over 100 times more EGCg than any other tea on the market 3)Chinese Daoists and Japanese Zen Buddhist monks as a means to relax and meditate while remaining alert. Now we know that this higher state of consciousness is due to the amino acid L-Theanine contained in the leaves used to make Matcha. L-Theanine promotes the production of alpha waves in the brain which induces relaxation; 4) Another effect of L-Theanine is the production of dopamine and serotonin. These two chemicals serve to enhance mood, improve memory, and promote better concentration 5) Increases energy more efficiently than coffee: Samurai, the noble warriors of medieval and early-modern Japan, drank Matcha Green Tea before going into battle due to the tea’s energizing properties. While all green tea naturally contains caffeine, the energy boost received from Matcha is largely due to its unique combination of other nutrients. The increased endurance from a bowl of Matcha Green Tea can last up to 6 hours and because of the effects of L-Theanine, Matcha drinkers experience none of the usual side-effects of stimulants such as nervousness and hypertension. It’s good, clean energy! 6) Helps weight loss. Drinking Matcha Green Tea has also been shown to increase metabolism and help the body burn fat about four times faster than average. Again, unlike many diet aides currently on the market, Matcha causes no negative side-effects such as increased heart rate and high blood pressure. 7) Improves immune system. The catechins in Matcha Green Tea have been shown to have antibiotic properties which promote overall health. Additionally, just one bowl of Matcha Green Tea provides substantial quantities of Potassium, Vitamins A & C, Iron, Protein, and Calcium. Further studies have even suggested that the nutrients in Matcha may have the ability to inhibit the attacks of HIV on human T-cells. 8) Detoxifies. The high levels of chlorophyll in Matcha Green Tea not only give this tea its beautiful vibrant green color. Matcha is also a powerful detoxifier capable of naturally removing heavy metals and chemical toxins from the body. 9 )Lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and raised HDL (good cholesterol). Matcha Green Tea has a positive effect on cholesterol, studies of different populations have show that people who drink Match Green Tea on a regular basis have lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while at the same time displaying higher levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. Men who drink Matcha Green Tea are about 11% less likely to develop heart disease than those who don’t drink Matcha. I am so glad that I found this certified organic matcha at such a great price! I am a regular customer, and will be for life!!

Honestly... The best I have found in the market! I requested more information on lead levels and processes used and I was well impressed. Second time I've purchased from them and will continue to do so for sure. Very quickly delivered too!

lasts a long time so worth money you only need a tiny amount.
