Pure SynergyUSDA Organic Matcha Power (2.1 oz Powder) Ceremonial Japanese Green Tea Powder

I received this matcha today and it is not great. It has a fishy taste and the colour of the powder is pale (as if already oxidised despite being just unsealed). I’ve been drinking matcha for over 3 years and have tried many many many different brands of ceremonial grade matches and for the price, this one is probably the worst. I thought I’d switch from my current favourite (Clearspring organic ceremonial grade) as it only comes in 30g metal tins and thought one larger glass bottle would be more environmentally friendly. However, this one is not worth repurchasing (worse quality and way more expensive than the clearspring one)

It’s expensive for the size and there is no difference between other matcha powder brands that are cheaper

I try a lot of supplements with high expectations, and usually I see no significant results. Not so with this Matcha. I tend to be a high-anxiety person and with this tea, I really notice my mind is calmer and I stay focused longer. I started out with ½ teaspoon per morning and I have worked my way up to ¾ teaspoon over three weeks. I do not notice any more energy, given a lot of my energy comes from the anxiety that it quells. This will not work similarly for everyone. My son tends to be like me he but did not notice any significant results similar to what I experienced. My daughter drinks some of this tea before school and she likes it because she feels “less tired” in school. The taste is good. I’m glad for the high antioxidant content too. Finally, I really like the synergy company, the way they run their business and the quality of the product they produce.

This thing makes me feel like Im having more mental energy, but not necessarily make me smarter though. Just more active mentally. Taking 1 first thing in the morning is enough for more I think. Although the last 2 days Ive been taking a second pill around lunch time but causes me to have headaches. Its weird. Not sure why. I guess I need to google it. It might be a side effect. It would have been 5 stars if it wasnt for the headaches. Oh btw, the headaches started about 30 min after i took 2nd pill and its 8pm now and Im still feeling it. urgh..
