Organic Ceremonial Matcha from First Harvest Tea

  By , ,

It certainly feels weird for me to review just a single matcha and not 20 of them at once, as the last 4 matcha reviews I’ve done all are huge comparison ones. Today’s review is a matcha from an online seller based in Nevada, First Harvest Tea. At this time, they just have a single matcha for sale, the Organic Ceremonial Matcha, and a free matcha recipe ebook. First Harvest Organic Ceremonial Matcha is also available on Amazon! This matcha is from Shizuoka, Japan. It is Certified Organic by the JAS-JONA & USDA. Matcha Powder and Preparation The matcha powder is a light… Continue reading, hoot!

Sunday Tea Hoots 7 – Matcha Ranting

  By ,

I recently finished doing some matcha tasting work. Matcha has been on my mind a lot as matcha is the big trend now. Tea companies are pushing it, adding weird flavors it it (cheese pizza matcha yo), and selling it as magical cure to all your problems. I’ve been reviewing it and tea companies that aren’t exclusive matcha sellers are scratching their heads wondering if there matcha is any good and scrambling to find better. I’ve drank so much matcha this year that it is simply crazy and potentially damaging to my body. I also been drinking so much matcha I still… Continue reading, hoot!

DAVIDsTea Matcha Maker Travel Tea Tumbler Review

  By ,

Here I go again – me and my obsession with tea tumblers. I’m starting to buy these things as if they are accessories that go with my purse. Today’s travel tea tumbler is special though, the DAVIDsTea’s Matcha Maker, which is a unique design and the first time I seen a tea tumbler that focuses on matcha. First off, I need to address a question that is probably is on some of your minds. “Why is this a thing – can’t I just use a mason jar/any other tea tumbler to shake up hot matcha?” You can, go ahead and try it shaking hot… Continue reading, hoot!

Matcha Comparison – Matcha Taste Testing of 12 different Amazon Matchas!

  By ,

So I was sent 12, identical packaged matcha samples to be tested and rated from Red Leaf Tea. Red Leaf Tea wanted a comparison of their matcha verses popular matcha sold on Amazon.com. A number of other tea drinkers and bloggers got the same treatment too. At the time of sampling, I did not know what matcha was what other than number on the package. There was a few others who posted their results ahead of me and I did not look up their reviews. I wrote my reviews by sample number and sent in my results to find out what product was what, which… Continue reading, hoot!

3 Leaf Tea’s Flavored Matchas – Tea Review

  By ,

Matcha seems to be getting really popular these days as I see it starting to be sold by many tea sellers. I love flavored matchas – I own a bunch of different flavors with a couple different tea sellers. I don’t often prepare matchas in the traditional whisk/chasen, despite owning the tools. I think bubble/boba tea and Starbucks Green Tea lattes taste so good to me, that I prefer to make matcha as a milk shake blended with ice and milk. With that said, I love a good flavored matchas, it’s a delicious treat. 3 Leaf Tea is a new tea… Continue reading, hoot!

Caramel Matchaccino from Red Leaf Tea – Oolong Owl Tea Review

  By ,

Caramel Matchaccino is a matcha latte mix sold by Red Leaf Tea, online seller mostly known for their flavored matchas. A little about Matchaccino, this product is a matcha latte mix – it contains cane sugar, matcha, xantham gum, tapioca dextrose and flavoring. The mix, by its self is 58 calories a serving, 0 fat. If you love the Starbucks Matcha Green Tea Frappucino, Red Leaf Tea’s Matchaccino is even better – it was way cheaper for one, as its $0.32 a serving verses almost $4 at Starbucks. You also have more control over your drink since you are making… Continue reading, hoot!

Coconut Matcha from Red Leaf Tea – Oolong Owl Tea Review

  By ,

Coconut Matcha is from Red Leaf Tea‘s huge flavored matcha line up. Red Leaf Tea is an US online tea seller, known mostly for their customizable flavored matcha and matchaccino mix. I’ve had quite a number of Red Leaf Tea‘s flavored matcha, though I tend to drink through them slowly. The caffeine in matcha hits me hard with crazy energy that I feel like I could scale a wall. With that said, I restrict matchas as a morning or early afternoon tea. I was recommended to try Red Leaf Tea‘s Coconut Matcha as I heard it is really good, especially for coconut fans. With my… Continue reading, hoot!
