Ohio Tea Company, Raspberry Matcha



Unlike green tea made with whole leaves or leaf parts, matcha's leaf powder is finely ground and doesn't need to be strained after steeping. The vibrant green powder blends into hot water and you drink the entire beverage

I am not a big fan of the taste of matcha, but I do love the health benefits. This raspberry matcha has a fruitiness that does help with grassy flavor.  I have found that adding this matcha to my protein shakes really is not that bad, I can drink it and actually enjoy it.
