Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
I am certainly doing my part to live a healthier lifestyle–who isn’t these days? I love natural and organic products, and I was pleased to review this product from KissMe Organics. It is called Organic Matcha, and it is green tea powder.
Maybe you haven’t heard about all the health benefits of green tea. Well, this product is one of the finest green tea powders you can find on the market. It provides four to six hours of energy, but it is not the kind you get from caffeine and other such products. It is a stimulant and a relaxant at the same time.
Consuming matcha green tea can increase thermogenesis (the body’s own rate of burning calories) from a normal 8%-10% of daily energy expenditure, to between 35% and 43% of daily energy expenditure. It also protects the skin from harmful UV rays as well as improving the actual quality of one’s skin. This green powder also provides more antioxidants than brewed green tea. Indeed, the health benefits are staggering!
I will be honest–this is an acquired taste for me. It did come with a recipe guide, and I have not used it in baking yet. I believe that would be the best way to use it. I added this green tea powder to my cappuccino, and the flavor was still overpowering. I recommend using half what the packaging says, and the flavor does take some getting used to. I am not giving this a negative review by any means. It is versatile, and when the weather warms up, I plan to try it in fruit smoothies. It is clear that it gives lasting energy–I could certainly sense that. But I am still working to find the best way to consume it.
