Green Tea

I was just reminded recently that my first experience with Japanese Green Tea prepared from Matcha powder came when I was tutoring a Japanese student in the early 1990s.  It was at a thank you dinner from him and his wife, and was just a one time forgotten thing until I started getting into Matcha about a year ago or more.

I find that green tea is the stuff that will make me most awake, most alert, and most vibrant.  After years of coffee consumption, I am switching more and more to the green stuff.  And the more I get into it, the more I like higher and higher quality pure Japanese varieties like this Konacha powder.  Pure matcha is still only an occasional treat, but this stuff energizes my brain more than coffee.
