    Anyone any opinions on this? Seen three different types by the same brand, 19.99 up to 27 euro. I was in a special tea shop on Wicklow street and their top end was 43euro for a 40g tub!!!

    Does it do as it says on the tin!

    It's just concentrated green tea powder.

    I bought it a few weeks ago and am still trying to get used to the taste. I paid €25 but haven't yet noticed any of the benefits I've read about...:(

    'Matcha' means 'powdered tea', so if you say 'matcha tea', you're saying 'powdered tea tea'!

    I buy the Koyu brand matcha from their website. You can also buy it in some health shops. It comes in 3 grades, ranging from €18 to €28 for a 30g tin. You only need a very small amount for each cuppa so it does last quite a while. I like a cup first thing in the morning to wake me up.

    Thanks for that, waiting for a decent answer. Overall though how are you finding it.
