Tasters Review:
Here at SororiTEA Sisters we have reviewed a handful of the GreenTeaHP/Green Tea Pros Products and I must say they continue to amaze us for different reasons! One of those reasons, for me at least, is that their flavors actually DO smell and taste completely different that their other flavors! I have had other ‘products’ from other companies who claim they have all these different flavors, but to me, they all seem to taste the same or at the very most taste very similar! But NOT at GreenTeaHP/Green Tea Pros! They do it right! Each of their MANY flavors has their own personality, aroma, taste, and mission! And I LOVE that!
As for their Raspberry Cream…I give it a sparkling review!
It has a Raspberry Mocha type taste to it that I really like! It smells like Raspberry…very pleasant! The “mocha” taste I will chalk up to being the “cream” part of it. It gives you a kick at the beginning of the sip and a smoother finish. It has a lighter and semi-smooth aftertaste that I also appreciate!
Another good product from our friends at GreenTeaHP/Green Tea Pros!
Acai Matcha from Shanti Tea
Tea Information:
Leaf Type: Matcha (Green Tea)
Where to Buy: Shanti Tea
Product Description:
Matcha tea is kind of like a super-powered green tea—since you’re ingesting the whole leaf instead of just the brewed beverage, you get up to ten times the antioxidant effect and nutritional value of your standard green. Matcha’s rich in antioxidants, as well as chlorophyll and fiber, and has been found to have natural mood enhancing effects. All in all, matcha’s got no match when it comes to healthy teas.
Taster’s Review:
This is a really good flavored Matcha. Flavored Matcha is not as common a product as other flavored teas, so it’s an exciting thing to find one.
The flavor is a bit different than other flavored Matcha teas that I’ve tried, I don’t know if that is because this is intended to use to make Matcha Lattes. The first time I tasted it, I enjoyed it as I would normally prepare Matcha – that is with some hot water in my chawan and whisk with my chasen. And this results in a pretty tasty tea.
The flavor is smooth and rich, with very little bitterness. It is a lot less bitter than I usually experience with Matcha (which is typically a little bitter and a little sweet – a delicious contrast). It is also not quite as vegetative. Prepared traditionally, what I taste mostly is a creamy, sweet and rich tasting tea with mere hints of a vegetative taste (it’s kind of in the background!) and a tart note from the Acai berry. It isn’t an unpleasant tartness, though. I’m really enjoying it.
But because I didn’t feel like I was truly experiencing this tea as it was intended, I decided that I should also try this as a latte. I put a few heaping scoops (I used my Chashaku) of the Matcha in my Chawan, and then I made a thick paste using two tablespoons (I eyeball it) of hot (not boiling) water. Then I added steaming milk and whisked it until blended and frothy.
As a latte, I notice that I get more froth than I did preparing it traditionally. The flavor is much creamier, and I notice more of the vegetative notes as a latte, but less of the acai berry, which slowly creeps up to the palate in the finish and imparts a lovely tart note. Not a pucker-y type of tart, just a pleasant, fruity tart taste.
After trying it as a latte, I decided to get a little more adventurous and try it with some orange juice. So using the same method as before (a few heaping scoops, a little hot water, thick paste), I replaced the hot milk with a little bit of cold orange juice. This may be my favorite way to enjoy this particular matcha because I like the way that the acai berry and the orange flavors mingle. There is very little vegetative taste, it is sweet, slightly creamy, and pleasantly tart.
This Matcha is incredibly versatile. It would also make a great addition to a smoothie, if you’re so inclined! I like that the acai berry is subtle, but just enough to help smooth out some of the bitter notes of the Matcha. I really enjoyed my time with this Matcha!

Taster’s Review:
I think that the writers for the Dragon Pearl website must have seen my garage!
I have to admit that I really had my doubts about this energy shot. I haven’t tried those other energy shots because I feared the nervous, jittery feeling that some have reported after use. I also feared the crash that would come in a few hours!
But, so far… so good! I consumed this shot about an hour ago – just before walking to my daughter’s school to pick her up from choir practice. It’s quite a hike – while the school is only a mile away, the hills between our house and my daughter’s school are quite steep! Usually, after I get home after this little jaunt, I am wiped out for about a half an hour or so, but, I’m not feeling that way at all today! I feel like I am at the same energy level that I was before the walk!
Awesome! Of course, I will have to complete this review in a few hours to see if I “crash.”
These 2 ounce shots of energy are quite tasty. They taste a lot like grape juice! There is a little bit of berry taste in the finish that lingers well into the aftertaste. It’s quite good.
That being said, there really isn’t a lot of green tea flavor to this shot. I have a feeling that this was created for those who may not find green tea particularly enjoyable but wish to enjoy the beneficial (and energizing) properties of green tea.
There are other benefits to this shot as well because the fruit juices used here are superfruits: pomegranate, Concord grape juice, blueberry juice and Acai juice. As I said before, the dominate flavor is the grape, but I can also taste notes from the pomegranate and the berries, especially at the tail.
So not only is it a delicious and energizing drink, but the ingredients are actually good for you! Let’s see how I feel in a few hours …
Seven and a half hours later…
Well, I had planned on coming back six hours later, but, I got busy doing other things. (Sorry!) Anyway, I am here to tell you that I did not experience any “crash-like” feelings. Not that I would really know what they were like, having not ever experienced the crash from those other energy drinks. But, I didn’t feel completely drained, if anything, I feel more energetic than I usually do at about this time in the evening!
KUDOS to Dragon Pearl – this Super Natural Energy shot is a winner in my book!

Tasters Review:
Today I am writing about Black Cherry Cream from Green Tea HP/Green Tea Pros which is a product that includes Green Tea as its base. Here at SororiTEA Sisters we have reviewed a few of these already and have more on tap!
Before adding this powder-pocket to my bottled water I thought it smelled like Chocolate Covered Cherries…which is perfect timing because almost every year I get my mom Chocolate Covered Cherries for the holidays! She just LOVES them! This was a great reminder as well as a healthy alternative for a sweet tooth, too!
Afterward I added it to the water it was basically a sugary smelling Black Cherry type aroma.
The taste is a little tart but that makes sense considering it’s Black Cherry Flavored…it DOES taste like Black Cherry! As for the cream connection…I guess I can also make that out a little…it is sort of reminiscent of black cherry ice cream.
Where as this specific flavor isn’t my favorite from Green Tea Pros it’s still pretty good and I am VERY excited I got to try it!
Stay tuned for more Product Reviews from The SororiTEA Sisters!

Tasters Review:
Acai Matcha from Shanti Tea is a deep, dark olive green color when you add the liquid to it. In this initial attempt I just did it plain with water specifically to taste the natural green flavors without additives. It smells like leafy green tea when dry and a different sort of a veggie aroma after adding the liquid – almost buttered.
This is much more smooth than I thought it would be and pretty darn good. Many Acai flavored drinks I have had in the past have been either bitter or tart and not smooth or sometimes just plan hard to handle and not very tasty. But not this! This is tasty. Acai Matcha from Shanti is more of a strong green than most flavored matchas I have had and the acai is very much in the back ground and I like that in this Matcha. I like that the Acai is NOT overbearing. This is bold and strong and brothy and I like it.
