Midori Spring Ceremonial (GOLD) Matcha Green Tea #midorispring

To be honest, the only tea I have tried is Lipton sweet tea. I was willing to try this product out to see what it tasted like. I have heard the many benefits of drinking green tea and thought if I liked it I would start to drink it.
The tea comes in a tin can that you have to peel the lid off; kind of the the lid on cat food to give you an idea. When I opened it, there was a pleasent sent that came from the tea in the can. The tea inside is a fine, pretty green colored powder. In fact it looks just like the picture above. The can had instructions on how to prepare the tea, and that is exactly how I prepared it. The can also has a website that you can do to to get different ideas on how to prepare the tea. There are some reciepes on there that show how to use it to bake with it.
After preparing the tea, the smell was no longer pleasent. The smell reminded me of baby food peas. The color was also dark green. At this point, I was hoping it would taste better then it smelled. Nope. It tasted like baby food peas to me and it left a bitter after taste. Maybe if you added something to sweeten it up, it may taste better. i did not have any honey in my home to see if it would help the taste. So my conculison in all of this is that this tea is not going to be for me. Now if you are a big tea drinker and you love green tea, this may be the product for you. I'm thinking that maybe this maybe a better product for me to use in baking, and will try it in the future to see.
I recieved this product free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.
