Review: Organic Matcha Powder

I received "organic matcha powder" for free in exchange for my honest review.   This matcha usually costs $25.

I gave this matcha 5 stars.  Check out my review!

If this didn't have "culinary grade" on the label, I would have totally thought that this was ceremonial grade! I can shake this up in COLD water (usually with matcha you have to use it in hot water), with no chunks or powdery texture (not even at the bottom)! It is really difficult finding good quality matcha, for a decent price, This says culinary grade on the label, but you can use it as if it were ceremonial grade. In addition to shaking up with water, I also enjoy putting half of a tablespoon of this matcha into my daily smoothie! It is a bright vibrant green, and tastes great!

Review: Loose Leaf Green Tea Chai

I recently received Loose Leaf Green Tea Chai, in exchange for my honest review. This product is around $11, and I got it for free.  I five this awesome tea 5 stars! :D



I love green tea, and I love chai tea, so I was so happy to get to try the two mixed together! :)  Keep in mind that this is a loose leaf tea, so it does not come in tea bags (you will need a tea strainer).  When I first brewed this tea, I was surprised that in came out with such a light color.  At first I thought it wasn't brewing properly, but then I tasted it, and it tasted just like chai tea!  It is a MUCH lighter color than regular chai tea, since it is made with green tea, instead of black tea.  I was also glad to find that this brand did not put too much black pepper in their tea.  Many brands put too much black pepper in chai tea, which I dislike.  You only need one teaspoon to make one cup of this spiced green tea, and the bag is pretty large, so it will last quite awhile!  I found it really interesting that the date of packaging was right on the bag.  Mine was packaged just last month, it is SO nice to know that I am getting fresh tea!  #masalachaigreen

Review: Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder

The most recent product I have received is Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder by Nature's Blueprint.  This product is typically $35, and I received it completely for free, in exchange for my honest review.

I gave this product  stars.  This is my experience:

This is the best matcha I have tried so far.  Unlike any other matcha I have tried, this one is not at all powdering after mixing it with water.  I HATE powdery drinks, so I was really glad that it came out nice and silky smooth.  Also, you DO NOT have to use hot water, you can use cold water, and just shake it up.  It dissolves just fine in cold water, which is great, because I prefer iced green tea over hot green tea (just make sure to add the ice after shaking it up).  This matcha is a very rich green color, even when only using 1/4 of a teaspoon. This is high quality matcha.

Review: Natural Herbal Sleep Aid Tea By Hint Wellness

I recently received Natural Herbal Sleep Aid Tea By Hint Wellness for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.  This product is typically $17.  





I give this 5 stars.  Here is my review:

Let me start off to say that I have EXTREME sleep issues. It takes me at least an hour to get to sleep, and I wake up all during the night. Because of the severity of my issues, most people will receive much better results then what I did. The first two nights that I used this tea, it worked really well. I went to sleep fairly easily, and didn't wake up during the night. After the first two nights the results were not as good though. So this tea is probably meant for those with occasional sleep issues, and doesn't work as well if you are planning to use it every night. However, even though my sleep experience with this tea is not as good as it was the first two nights, it is still better than what it was before I drank this tea. With continual usage it still takes me about an hour to get to sleep, but I don't wake up as often during the night as I used to.  This gets four stars because this has worked better than anything else I have tried, and I have tried MANY things.
