BLOOM Tropical Matcha (30g)

Lovely tea, arrived quickly

I liked the idea of this product and was excited to try BUT over two weeks since purchase I’m still waiting

I'm afraid I really didn't get on with this Matcha green tea. It is very green (as expected from green tea) and does have a pleasant mango aroma when you open the jar. However once I tried to make it into a refreshing iced tea the pleasant smell seemed to disappear and I didn't enjoy the taste at all. Given the expensive price I would need to at least enjoy drinking it for the supposed health benefits in order to buy any more.

This matcha is a green tea supplement flavoured with fruit extract. it smells lovely when a little bit of hot water is added to the half teaspoon of matcha powder. The dark green colour initially looked a bit off-putting, but I quickly got used to it.On my first few attempts at making this, I didn't think it actually tasted of much when I'd added a bit more water to make it into an iced tea, so I've been reducing the amount of extra water to make it taste stronger. This is a bit of trial and error because the instructions on the jar only explain how to initially make the concentrated drink using 100ml of hot water, but not how much extra water to use for iced tea.The jar also says that this drink is not suitable for pregnant women and children due to having caffeine in it, so it would also not be suitable if you are currently trying to conceive.It's also suggested that this supplement can be added to food if you don't want to drink it.I personally didn't really feel much benefit from this supplement, but others might get better results.3 stars.

I like green tea very much; quite apart from the health benefits, as it is high in anti-oxidants, simply because I enjoy the taste. This is a 'Tropical Matcha,' which simply means it has a slight aroma/taste of mango, but that was more obvious with cooking with this, than with drinking it. I say this, because this product has a lot of uses and there are suggestions, for those unfamiliar with using green tea, on the packaging (although the print is quite small!).You make all kinds of things with this. I have a recipe for ice cream which includes green tea and that tasted lovely using this. You can also use this in various puddings. However, mostly I just enjoy green tea, unsweetened. You just use a scoop and add hot water. This has a pleasant taste - not particularly fruity in its original form, but a nice blend and nicely packaged. It also comes with a useful scoop.

Matcha tea is relatively new in the UK and I recently became aware of it having watched a programme about it on the telly. In its purest unflavoured form I have found it pleasant to drink but not exactly tasty. I drink it whisked with hot water til you get a frothy top and I've been drinking a cup a day on account of the health benefits and because I genuinely do feel better health wise and energy wise since I started.This blend from Bloom incorporates natural mango flavouring and it's really nice. I also have the grapefruit and the ginger varieties all of which I really enjoy and now alternate each morning.

This product is known for its high concentrated green tea nutritional content.It is advised on the product to mix a measure (contained with the jar) with hot water and ice to make iced tea. I tried this and would have to say even though there was a hint of natural mango the drink was not enjoyable.I have tried this drink for a couple of days now to try and get used to it and even though I am used to having green smoothies, I am finding it hard to enjoy this drink.If you want to have a healthier option to coffee and have a pretty strong stomach for different tastes then this could be the drink for you. Alternatively you could enjoy the health benefits without the taste by adding the powder to smoothies and stews.I won't be buying this product in the future due to the taste.

Matcha is a very healthy green tea powder which helps refresh and revitalise you in ways that regular tea doesnt. Like green tea whilst its definitely not unpleasant it takes a little getting used to the taste before you start to appreciate. I take this either in the morning or sometimes in the afternoon or evening as a wonderful refreshing brew.Its simple to make just add some hot water to to about one or two teaspoons of the matcha powder and its ready to drink. I love this refreshing drink and would recommend you try it.
