With all the health benefits advertised about matcha, I was ecstatic and willing when I got the chance to review this for free/discounted. It had been stated that this is a love it or hate it kind of tea because of the flavour. I, personally, don't care for it but don't hate it. I could probably stomach it for the benefits but not one I would enjoy. My husband is more favourable towards the tea and would continue to drink it. Speaking of the benefits, here's some of what its purported benefits are, some immediate and others over a longer course of time:
- Energy increase without the crash or jitters,
- Weight loss and improved metabolism,
- Increased mental alertness,
- Body cleanse,
- And immune booster.
