W this Yamamotoyama mix as a starter, I'm looking forward to sitting beneath my magnolia trees, yummy blended green tea drink in hand, all summer long. I am Super picky about my big city luxuries - I have the Coffee Bean and my fave wine store ship their goods here and drive 120 miles to get clean meat.
It works and tastes great. The thing is, I moved from Los Angeles where I was never more than a mile from fabulous ice blended green tea drinks at Starbucks or my favorite, the Coffee Bean.
Forced to master ice blended green tea drinks at home after moving to rural NC, I tried this green tea mix. Last night I even ordered some gourmet coffee syrups for further experimentation.
This stuff blends super easily, though I didn't particularly care for it mixed only with water. W a teaspoon of sugar, a few ice cubes, a cup of either soy or rice milk, and the press of my blender's "Liquify" setting, my ice blended green tea drink craving is satisfied.
But w this mix and my blender, I do not feel like I've had to give up anything, except the $4 or $5 a pop at the coffee shops. This is a totally worthwhile product for those of you wanting to make ice blended green tea drinks at home.
Not only do I love this as a refreshing beverage (that can be punctuated with lime or lemon, or splashed with a healthful ounce or so of blueberry, cherry, acai, or pomegranate juice), but I started using it as my pre-workout caffeine punch. Voila, a really nice cup of tea you can heat in the nuker if you like, or just go with it iced (or room temp) like I do.The tastes is very fresh, no bitterness (like I can get with making hot tea, cause I'm a tea idiot apparently). I've bought tons of green tea products over the years, but if I have to heat the water, mix the leaves (or bags), etc, wait for it to cool or pour over ice, I tend to flake and just reach for whatever ready-to-drink bottled or canned sort of beverage is handy, super-healthful or not.This solves my tea-sloth issues. And, hey, yeah, sugar works, if you swing that sucrose way.
Mix with water. I'm lazy. And know what: It works. I wish amazon carried it in their amazon prime catalog of products so I could get it with "free" 2 day shipping. It mixes so well (no big clumps).
Having this 35-40 minutes or so prior to my Pilates hour-long session makes me put in some extra effort so I'm wonderfully sore in the core the next day from the boost of energy.This is unsweetened (a plus), so you can sweeten it to your heart's delight, with honey or stevia or, if you're watching calories, Splenda or Equal. Still, my experience with this supplier was great. Small foil packet that opens easily via a notch. And though I have a sweet tooth, I've been drinking this unsweetened. Totally a quality product.I ordered three boxes the first time (August 12, 2008).
I'm gonna order even more now, though I still have some left, just to have in stock in my pantry. It really tastes so.greenly refreshing.Totally love this tea mix. No worries.Mir
It has a fresh taste and is good for you. Yamamotoyama - Original Unsweetened Iced Green Tea Mix comes in packets that can easily be added to a bottle of water for a healthy beverage on the go. I do not like overly sweet drinks like Snapple so this is perfect without any "bad" additives. Everyone in my office is drinking it. I recommend it highly.JS, NYC
Excellent product easy to prepare not bitter like brewed green tea good tasting convenient healthy and well worth trying
If you like matcha flavored things, you will enjoy this. This is a unique powdered product. It's very nice in the summer months when you don't want a hot drink. It is unsweetened and turns water a brilliant green. The taste is of green tea, and not bitter. It's also a good value since you get 10 packets in the box. 0 calories and so much healthier and tastier than crystal light.
