I had been looking for a boost to burn calories. I keep trying different ways to loose weight like detoxification and drinking green tea. I am a big fan of diet green tea. I drink it all day. I was so happy when I found this opportunity to try MATCHA GREEN TEA POWDER by KISS ME ORGANICS. ORGANIC MATCHA- GREEN TEA POWER is 100% organic, tested for purity, and contains up to 137x the antioxidants found in a cup of brewed tea. Matcha is green tea from the Camellia sinensis, but it a very fine powder version of the healthy drink. Unlike other teas derived from Camellia sinensis, matcha has not been fermented. Matcha, like other varieties of green tea, can be harvested from anywhere in the world. But more than simply ground up green tea leaves, matcha is derived from tea leaves grown in the shade so that the leaves achieve a dark green color, which gives matcha its magnificent amino acids. It’s quite a long process to produce matcha but serious tea drinkers rely on matcha to enhance their culinary experiences from comfort food like macaroni & cheese to their happy hour matcha mojito. Now you know the difference between regular old green tea and matcha, let’s talk about why you should be making matcha part of your diet.
