DoMatcha Product Review & Giveaway!

This spring I decided I wanted to clean up my morning routine by switching over from coffee to tea.  I have nothing against coffee at all but it just hadn’t been sitting well or satisfying to me in the mornings.  I don’t love hot tea first thing which is strange considering my typical Americano that I make.  So I made up my mind and chose matcha to start my day because I like it iced and I like the amount of caffeine it has.  I was not disappointed in the least.  I have written about my love of matcha before and will often make it in the afternoon when I need a boost or when I want to eat something and know I don’t need to.  It always gives me great energy to get a task or workout done.  I am hooked.

Well, now I am hooked on it as my morning ritual. I was so blown away by the clean energy I felt. I am not one to take energy pills or to drink loads of caffeine since I get nervous and jittery. Matcha has around 70 mg of caffeine per eight ounce cup which is 1/4 of the caffeine in a typical tall Starbucks drip coffee. I cannot tell you how amazed I was at the cleanest and healthiest energy I felt. The amount of anti-oxidants in one serving of matcha is equivalent to 10 cups of green tea, making it a cancer-fighting, fat burning, anti-aging, power packed superfood. I make mine iced and actually sometimes add a little bit of Nu Naturals Stevia to it. My five year old even loves it. He helps me make it in my matcha bowl.

My favorite brand I have tried so far has been Organic Ceremonial Matcha by DoMatcha. At around $34.00 a tin for 25 servings, it is by no means cheap. However, I feel like it is so delicious and so healthy that I am willing to pay a little more for quality.  I have tried the cheaper versions (like 2nd Harvest) and other brands and this, by far, is my favorite.  I have no problem mixing the powder as I have with other brands and it has no bitter taste. Domatcha, as it name states, specializes in matcha teas. I feel that anytime someone specializes in something, they stand to excel. I am thrilled to have found this brand of matcha!
