Organic Matcha Green Tea Leaves - Antioxidant Whole Leaf Edible Green Detox Tea - 100 grams

My best friend, my fiance and I started taking this product roughly 2 weeks ago. At first, I did not notice anything different, but a few days after I started taking it, I noticed that I was getting around to doing things that I normally was too tired to get to. I also feel more alert, focused and “clear-minded,” and I have no jitters, nervousness, palpitations or any other undesirable side effects.On the physical aspect; I lost more inches over the last couple of weeks than I did at any other point since I started working out and eating healthier (about 2 months ago). It is quite possible that the shrinkage (about 1 size less on my jeans) is due to water loss, but I do stay well hydrated, and if I am simply releasing water that I had been retaining, I’ll take that. My fiance and my best friend also experienced a notable loss of both weight and size (I don’t see much of a difference in my weight) since they started taking it.I read that some people have difficulty eating this product, but I have not had that issue. I have added it to mashed potatoes, sandwiches, smoothies (mixed on my blender), soups, and bread with fresh mozzarella cheese, and it didn’t bother me one bit; in fact, I kind of like the crunch it adds. I wouldn’t recommend eating it alone, but I find it easy to mix with other foods, and I don’t find that it alters the flavor. My friend doesn’t like mixing it with other foods, so she dips it in sugar-free caramel, and loves it that way; I have not tried this because I don’t eat anything with sucralose (Splenda), but she says it is very tasty.I cannot attest to what the anti-oxidants are or are not doing inside of my body, for obvious reasons, but I will continue using this product based alone on the results that I am able to see and measure thus far. I really enjoy feeling more alert, less tired, and feeling motivated to get more active and get more things done; not to mention fitting into smaller pants. I definitely recommend it!

I was not the healthiest eater when I started using this product. Thanks to my wife and others I started drinking the good type of green tea (loose leaf, natural foods store). I enjoyed the taste and knew I was getting antioxidants which were needed. I started reading about this edible tea and decided to give it a try. I'm a convert and have been using this product for about 4 weeks.I tried consuming this tea couple of different ways. First (don't laugh!) I just tried eating it. That lasted about a minute. Later I tried swallowing it with some water which worked for about three days. Later, I found some healthy smoothie recipes and mixed it in. Yahtzee! (1/2 cup each of two kinds of fruit, 1/2 cup zero fat Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup skim milk, two ice cubes and 1 tablespoon of green tea leaves).First of all, you can't taste the green tea at all in the smoothie. I also mix in some other stuff like Chia seeds but with the other ingredients you won't notice it at all. Secondly, I have a nice level amount of energy throughout the day. I work a ton of hours and have had problems with tiredness during the evenings. Now I can work well into the night with no problems. Lastly, I'm a HUGE coffee fan but I don't get the same jitters I do with my quadra cuppa dark roast caffeine monster. This stuff works, keeps me level, and doesn't keep me up at night.

....no stars for the product.It arrived promptly and first shocker was ...the size. A TINY little bag for ....$25? I had ordered some other loose teas and they came in bags 4 times the size for 1/2 the price. 100 grams = .25 cents per gram!Ok, so maybe the product would produce significant results.Second shocker: produce of China. Even though labeled organic, China? Really?Third shocker: taste and composition ...inside was a mass of greenish leaves, stems and even a few brown twigs! Blended into an otherwise tasty smoothie, it tasted like dried grass and left little chunks of yucky green & brown stuff between teeth & all around mouth.And lastly, no effect noticed at all. Since I had another nutritional product I was trying out, I asked my (adult) daughter to try this one. She works out regularly, wants to loose a few pounds put on after her last vacation, and is always looking for good natural sources of energy.She noticed no change using this product ...except for the bad taste left from blending it in her smoothie. Having grown up holistically, she is used to wierd-tasting products ...but this was just unpalatable. After a week with bad taste & no noticeable changes at all, she gave up.Return was easy, refund prompt.Customer service sent me 3 super-friendly emails before I returned it, asking for a 5 star review. Sorry.I suggest using another source for the product, not China, and better quality control of contents.

I love drinking tea! I am always looking for great teas to try so when I was looking for organic green tea, I checked Amazon first (as I always do) and found this compelling product. Well, I know it says eat it instead of drink it but I had to do both. It IS pretty tasty just to munch on but it also makes for delicious drinking. Most people complain that green tea is too bitter. There are usually two main reasons for that (1) poor quality tea (and this is true of other teas as well) and (2) over brewing (you don't brew green tea the same way you brew black tea). Anyway, this is great stuff! I haven't tried it in my morning shake yet (because I am pretty much on autopilot in the morning) but will do so soon. Their website has a lot of recipes, too, even desserts.
