Have you tried Matcha? It's Japanese green tea and it's powder, so yo prepare it kind like coffee (you don't use a tea box). Apparently it' great for your health and also for concentration and energy boost. Grea for coffee drinkers, yoga lovers and anyone looking for a healthy energ drink during an intense day.
If you prefer high quality tea (for drinking only) try 'Matcha Green Te Powder |*Breakaway Matcha'
What is your opinion on matcha? for drinking, cooking or both
The problem is that so much of the matcha sold in the US is actually Taiwanese tea powder, or it's been cut with Taiwanese tea powder. It doesn't have the flowery scent that real matcha has, or it has been greatly reduced.
I actually found the higher grade matcha from Upton's to be pretty respectable. It has become our tea of choice for making green tea ice cream, believe it or not.
You'd think that in ice cream it wouldn't really matter if you used cheap tea, but the difference was really very substantial in an A-B test.
