Taster’s Review:

I have had this Matcha for a while now, and it has been my go-to Matcha when I want a smoothie. I love the hint of lychee that it adds to my smoothies!

But this Matcha isn’t only good for smoothies… it’s really quite delicious on its own, whisked in a chawan just like a typical Matcha. The flavor is sweet and the lychee fruit adds a wonderful dimension of flavor to it. The Matcha is vegetative and smooth. It coats the palate with a creamy, sweet taste of fruit and grassy taste. Delicious!

Matcha can be somewhat of an acquired taste and for those of you who want to acquire a taste for it, I recommend starting with a flavored Matcha. The vegetative flavor is not quite as intense with flavored Matcha, and it will help ease you into the experience.

Once you do acquire a taste for it, though, I guarantee you will not want to turn back. Matcha is better for you than other tea types because you consume the whole leaf. But, honestly, I don’t drink Matcha for the health benefits – they are a bonus! I drink it because I love the taste! It’s really delicious!

Anne (aka the Mad Tea Artist) has celebrated her 29th birthday for many years now. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her hubby and her youngest daughter. Her oldest daughter is married and has bestowed Anne with the proud title of "Gramma" and her grandson is about the cutest boy you ever did see. Anne started her journey with tea as a casual drinker and became more serious about her tea drinking when she realized that she couldn't drink coffee. Shortly thereafter, she started becoming obsessed with the beverage and she started creating small-batch, artisan blends of tea that she sold online as LiberTEAS. After a few years, she realized she wasn't cut out to be the sole proprietor of a business so she closed LiberTEAS and started reviewing teas online. She met Jennifer through another blog that they both reviewed for and they decided to start their own review blog. This review blog! Throughout her journey as a tea reviewer, she discovered 52Teas and became enamored with the idea of creating a new tea every week. When the founder of 52Teas decided he wanted to move on, he offered the business to Anne but knowing that she wasn't cut out to be a sole proprietor, she instead offered the company to her oldest daughter who employs her as the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas!
