Matcha Green Tea Powder (Super Tea) 50g by PureChimp | Ceremonial Grade From Japan | Pesticide-Free | Recyclable Glass Jar & Aluminium Lid

After trying other brands, I was starting to lose hope, but this matcha is amazing. The vibrant green colour is so inviting, and it whisks up into a beautiful frothy drink with no clumps at all. No fishy smell or taste, just a fresh, grassy flavor that's perfect for my morning latte. I love that the airtight jar keeps my matcha fresh. Plus, it's perfect for throwing in my bag when I'm on the go.

I am very sensitive to caffeine as it makes me jittery, anxious and gives me heart palpitations. Although I find it hard to gain the necessary energy that I require for 12 hour shifts, which lead me to matcha and I decided to try it.This matcha not only tastes great, but its effects had me in a state of calm alertness for hours, l love it. While I say it tastes great, it also did not taste as vegetal as it was meant to be, but I like that nonetheless.The EGCG in matcha, which is a powerful antioxidant, is superior to that of normal green tea due to the pulverisation and harvesting process of the leaf, which gives it over 137 times more anti oxidants than lower grade green tea which is good for the immune system, clearing the body of free radicals, preventing oxidative stress and also aiding in weight loss.Matcha is also full of L-theanine, which is an amino acid which is able to cross the blood brain barrier. It activates “alpha waves”, in the brain which activates a state of calmness without drowsiness. This makes it great for remaining focused in stressful situations as well as getting a good night sleep.Not only that, I can feel the water weight pour off me while I don’t get that ‘dehydrated’ feeling that I get from coffee and tea. It feels wonderful and I recommend it to anybody if they would like to remain focused, relaxed or want to aid in better sleep.Be aware, I was confused by the picture of this product and thought that the Matcha came with the utensils such as the bamboo whisk and measuring spoon, but it does not.The tub is made of glass and is 50grams. Originally I read the instructions wrong and was having 1/2 tablespoon of matcha instead of 1/2 teaspoon! Although despite the large volume I never got anxious or jittery like I do with coffee which is amazing.The only downside I can say for this tea is that it came packaged rather messy with the powder outside and around the lid and beneath the tub.Other than that, I highly recommend it.

Prior to the Covid 19 lockdown in the uk my friend and I would go to the local coffee shop. I would drink golden milk (a turmeric latte) and my friend a match latte. After 5 weeks of lockdown I got a pang for the golden milk, started making my own and then wondered if I could make my own matcha latte too. After doing some research I opted for this, said was ceremonial, was tested for lead, was from Japan, was a nice bright green colour, was in my price bracket and to be fair I like the branding. When it arrived I remembered that I don’t drink caffeine usually so saved my first latte for the morning. I mixed 1 tsp with half a cup of almond milk, a little vanilla and a little maple syrup, whisked and topped up with warm, not boiling water and boy was it tasty. Smooth and not grainy at all, I drank every drop, no mess at the bottom of the cup. However be warned if you don’t drink caffeine, I could really tell that I’d had this. I wished that I was going for a run instead of sitting at my desk! On a video call I had to confess to my boss that I’d had it as I felt the caffeine rush lol. On reflection, this seems a great quality product that I will only be having once a day, first thing in the morning! I’ll let you all know if I get to sleep tonight. May adjust to half a tsp, but did like the taste of 1 tsp

Liked the colour and taste and all but haven’t been able to buy this in months and I don’t know why.

Absolutely LOVE this tea! I'm already onto my second jar of this stuff.So I bought this as I heard that green tea/match is supposed to help with acne. I've tried teabags from supermarkets but I thought that I might get better results if I use the actual matcha powder.To be honest, I don't think it has made that much difference to my skin as I still get cystic acne on my chin every month. But I normally have 2/3 cups of this green tea every day and I've noticed that my appetite has decreased. Especially in the morning, I drink a cup of this on an empty stomach and I find I'm not so hungry and end up eating a smaller breakfast or late breakfast. So maybe it has helped me to control my appetite as I've noticed a tiny bit of weightloss.Also, my energy levels are better! I'm not drinking as much coffee, but still have a cup every now and then. Matcha/Green tea powder does contain a small amount of caffeine in it but not as much as coffee. I feel a lot "healthier" drinking this green tea stuff than having coffee.Final comment: the taste of this matcha powder is really good. Not bitter at all and tastes fresh.I might try the lemon and green tea powder next time. But I'm pretty happy with this flavour and will be buying again once I've finished my second jar!

I used to regularly buy the Purechimp twin packs as I always really enjoyed the quality of their product for matcha lattes. They were unavailable for quite some time so I was quick to order when I saw they were back in stock.Despite having the same bright green hue as before it is, unfortunately, not the same quality that I remember. It settles and leaves a powdery residue at the bottom of my lattes and is also much much milder than before. I used to be able to get away with 3/4 of a tsp for one cup but now even after using 2 tsp, the flavour is barely there and leaves a bitter aftertaste. So unfortunate as I used to really enjoy their product and price point. Perhaps it's an off batch or the result of cutting corners in a changing economy, who knows?
