Me at the store: "Why the heck does matcha cost $25 for 4 oz?"
Me watching this video: "Oh."
I laughed so hard at this because this was me the other day... XD

I'm made the change recently from having coffee in the morning to matcha. Mind you, I don't add sugar to my coffee or matcha. I've noticed just after a few days that my stomach is hardly upset anymore, my anxiety has gone down, concentrating is easier, I actually eat less, and I feel happy and calm over all. As someone with ADHD as well, this has greatly impacted me and all my routines as a whole. Watching this video filled in the missing pieces of why I was suddenly noticing improvement overall in my health. Thank for for this informative video! Cheers! x
This is likely the l-theanine that it includes, for months i have taken that specific compound as a supplement with coffee and have found similar benefits
I just tried this today and it really got the effect of coffee in the morning, not as quick but still, and I feel calmer
Which matcha did you use?
@@_laifishardisntit_1379 same question
I'm surprised something that can make you feel so good isn't illegal. Guess the government doesn't know yet.
If Nestle would sell a Matchaproduct they would colour dirt green and sell it double the price than real matcha
match is crazy expensive at the Bulk Barn
and people would buy it in mass
nestle product are gmo.. nestle is super evil fuck nestle i really hate nestle dont buy nestle boycott nestle
@@edwardcm9175 Im all for boycotting Nestlé but do you know how big they are? They're EVERYWHERE. I literally stumble upon random stuff in my home and suddenly find out that Nestlé is behind those products and everytime Im like wtf... It kind of seems like we cant even live without Nestlé products and we don't even know it.
You forgot the 1kgs of sugar they add per 100g of green dirt
This was the single most helpful collection of information I have found yet! Thank you!
:) happy that you found us Colleen
completely agree, subscribed within half a minute. clear and concise
Agree, very informative video. You're stunning, that was captivating (but I'm also very interested by the matcha, I just bought it and I did first fails with the chasen hehe, it was well mixed, no residual powder, but I added too much water for the cream/bubbles) ! It looks the Matcha has a good influence on you. :o)
That's true about the theanine, I really feel something different, I was way more focused on my occupation, with a better self-control.
Floxit that's how I feel about yerba mate
DEVEINING leaves? No wonder it costs so much! That is intense work, I would imagine. I hope these workers are being paid well.
Well, the Japanese HAVE sort of always been known for precision and design, OCD is a by-product lol
@@lucylulusuperguru3487 😁😁😁
Thanks weeaboo
They get paid well there.
Or they are third world people being paid mere pennies while importers get rich.
I've never wanted a cup of Macha more than after watching this video! :) thanks.
+Skok w Bok Blog :)
Im so happy channels like this exist. There are enthusiasts for EVERYTHING!
Being caffeine sensitive myself, I actually find matcha to effect me in positive ways, not negative like coffee.
In the morning, when I drink it, I do usually have an empty stomach, but adding some milk to the tea for the first one seems to help with any discomfort.
Wow, this guy knows his shit! I'm impressed!
I'll second that.
He would do well selling used cars..!!!!!
And he isn’t even Japanese lol
No shit Sherlock. :) He definitely knows his shit from shinola.
Man...You totally captivated me. There's no way a person can disagree/dislike you.such a powerful communicator :)
Great pacing of to-the-point, incredibly relevant and helpful information delivered in the perfect customer-friendly pitch! Don, this is one of the best vlogs in any category that I've watched in a very long time. Thank you! I wonder if there's a Mei Leaf in NY? You won a new subscriber and fan.
Very complete video. It gathers all the right info you need to know about matcha before purchasing and consuming it. Very clear explanations. Big thumb up from Canada.
Thank you!
Can you list the best Matcha product/s use.. Thanks
I've been using NOW matcha. I get it at fruitful yields
@@saffron1996 have you tried tenzo tea? I just ordered my first matcha batch from them. I'd love to hear your thoughts if you've tried them
Encha matcha, grace matcha, hibiki-an matcha, sazen matcha
@@seshumarioku i havent, but recently ive tried sazen's matcha narino single cultivar, and this one my aunt keeps buying
@@kwnwrestler16 thank you for listing these Matcha brands! I looked into each of them and they all seem like great choices!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, finally a good expert in tea who can teach us in a easy way and with REAL information about tea and Matcha. Thank you!!! And Thank you Mei Leaf because you're one of my favourite Tea Shop in London!!!!! :D
Well explained, you really have a way to communicate. Very informative. Thank you.
My favorite breakfast has become matcha whipped into a glass of nut milk. It’s my own healthy version of a matcha latte. In my 32nd year of teaching and have no trouble keeping up with the kids!
Excellent presentation and a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for this and please keep them coming.
I was very hesitant to watch because it’s 15 minuets. I’m glad I watched it, it’s very helpful to help me start drinking matcha
I rarely comment on youtube, but that was such an informative video! Job very well done!
:) thanks for commenting
I didn't know what Matcha was, and now I'm blown away by the information in this video. Going to buy some for sure. Thanks.
I just found this channel and I'm in love!! Can't wait to binge every episode
Still the best video on TH-cam about Matcha.
Trader Joe's are now carrying matcha tea and gosh what a great quality!!!! Love TJs
The most concise and comprehensive info about Matcha Green Tea.
As one who only drinks Oolong and Keemun, I often wondered about the hype associated with green as opposed to darker teas. I think it was Healthcare Triage where they said it could be because people counteract the (minimal) healthful properties of darker teas (as well as ruining the tea) by adding cow udder exudate.
This is the first time where more "shade" is a good thing. So far the most comprehensive video on matcha. Is drinking "old" matcha powder bad for you, or is it just not as beneficial as fresh. Also, on your webpage, I was wondering what the significance of the "Powder/Liquor". Is that just a visual color comparison between stand-alone powder, stand-alone liquor, and powder+liquor?
I am a big matcha enthusiast (also Japanese tea ceremony) and I enjoyed your delightful way of explaining matcha. Also a big thank you for mentioning the problem with radiation since I think that it is really important to mention and unfortunately most of the people are ignoring. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos, especially the ones on tea tasting on Chinese teas since I want to learn more about that topic. 😀🍵💚
Wow! I have recently stumbled upon a tea and matcha drinking habit this winter, but you have provided so much more info that I was unaware of!! Thanks. Now I better learn how to make it properly.... Sensitive to caffeine, but have no problems with the empty stomach consumption. I have a likely found low quality matcha based on the price I got it for. And I am not even British! Never been a coffee drinker, but am obsessed with healthy lifestyle. Thanks so much.
Great video! Thank you for the information. Excellent presentation! *Clarification:* If the tea has the USDA organic seal would the question regarding _radiation tested_ still apply or would that question be specific to teas that are not organic only? Thank you in advance for your response.
I am a fan of all kind of green , white and Matcha tea. The heath benefits are endless and I feel much better when I drink tea. I am talking here about high quality tea which is expensive most of the time especially when it becomes a daily routine
but be careful....as matcha is gaining so much popularity, it is faked these days....using lower leaves or not shaded...this effects the colour and taste completly....usually you can judge it by looking at the price. If you go for japanese Matcha you can be sure to get the real thing ;)
yes I didn´t know about matcha at all when I bought my first now. I bought it at the asian food shop thinking they would have good quality. I seriously think they sell the worst stuff. It was from China and has a dark colour and does not even foam almost when whisking. China is famous of doing these scams.
I got mine in Japan! I bought it 9 months ago and it's still good!!
Japan, nuclear power plant exploding... I don't feel so safe getting products from Japan....
Josue166 what was the brand
@@FlawlesZMa yes. But you can found some solid matcha from china. Not so good as the japanese stuff, but ok.
This was the best video I've seen for macha, especially for beginners like me. I now have some great information, and a broder understanding. Thank you, well done!👏👏👏
Thank you for this VLOG. Very interesting and informative. I am new to matcha, and really appreciated you taking the time to explain the history and show the variations and the benefits of matcha.
I noticed there were a lot of matcha teas out there in the market, and it can be quite confusing and intimidating, especially after reading all the reviews.
I would really like to try this tea, considering all the benefits. Thank you once again. 🙂
First time listener. Scribed after this video. I'm switching to Matcha so your video is very informative Now im looking forward to see your video on how to make Matcha you ROCK👍🏽
What an amazing gift the knowledge of this video brings. Thank you!
Very good to combine with other substances that expand the consciousness
I love how thorough every video is ! Thank you for educating me so well !
Best video on matcha I have ever watched; so informative! Thank you!
Some people may find this boring but I love how detailed the information is. Ive been wanting to get some high quality Matcha tea, but there seems to be a lot of garbage out there so I feel like this will help a lot with chosing the right brand. Thanks!
And his voice and articulation. Perfect
GREAT VIDEO FILLED WITH GREAT INFORMATION!
I would highly recommend Sugimoto ceremonial grade matcha. Its $30 for 28 grams but they also have a 100 gram pouch for $80. They offer free shipping on any orders over $75 too
J Stud try rishi teas matcha , very high quality
Thanks😊
Your videos are informative. It encourages me consume tea the right way! You are Dr. Tea!
Great information! I have always loved green tea and recently tried matcha. From what you shared it was a good quality one. I may giving up my coffee for matcha.😊
Brilliant. Thank you for your mindfulness and insight to help all us beginners. Especially helpful was the tip on storage as here in Florida summers the entire state is in the steamy aracha state for six months.
Best matcha video on youtube! Nicely done
So informative. Thanks for making this!
Great video great education.💛
Oop I found this vid too late, I bought a packet of green tea powder labeled Japanese matcha instead
What an informative and useful video. Competence and fact are so useful. Thank you
His intro reminds me a lot of CustomGrow420 lol
+anthony andrade word up youtube youtube! 😁 Jolie did have an influence on us.
I am watching this video several years after it was posted and I have a few questions. Are suppliers still testing Matcha for radiation? Is this still a question I should still be asking when looking for a Matcha supplier?
I have seen Matcha that says it is "barista Matcha" and "teahouse Matcha". Is this similar to ceremonial and general grades? Or are these different?
Thanks for the tea help! I love these videos! They are so helpful and I have learned so much from Mei Leaf.
I wish I watched this video a few years earlier. I recently converted to matcha from coffee. I find myself healthier and have lost weight!!! Amazing stuff!
cool video...lots of information....many thanks
Thank you! not only an extremely informative video - a very friendly one too!! (I didn't even think to ask about radiation testing..) - and after hearing your words on why.. it makes perfect sense and will be top of my checklist!
I'm looking forward to swapping my coffees out with more high quality matcha now.
This incredibly helpful, fascinating, and tons of information. Thank you. Glad I found this channel.
Lately I love to mix gyokuro green tea with matcha. I don't usually like to mix teas, but they compliment each other nicely. Glad you mentioned about the radiation. Always something to be concerned about. Your shop is one of the few that I trust, because I know you are looking for and offering only the best and purest teas.
Matcha definitely works very well with other Japanese green teas, thanks for commenting!
This was so helpful! And very informative. Great video! Hit everything I need to learn about matcha and all of my questions.
This was a very interesting and helpful video on Matcha tea! Thank you so much! :)
Loved your presentation 👏
Well done
thank you for this amazing review/commentary.. ps: Thank you for pointing out the radiation values and how important it is to eat or drink organic.. Kind regards xx
We just found this out as well! So interesting 🧐
Such a great video! Amazing content.
Love your approach to making videos, very insightful and to the point! I have a video of a Japanese tea Ambassador in Switzerland making matcha in a "thé gourmand" version - check it out :).
Very awesome and informative video, thank you!
Thanks for the informative video! Looking forward to drinking matcha
That is AMAZING!! Huge convincing information and big heathy hack! Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing the info about feeling nauseous. The first time I tried matcha I actually vomited. Ive been weary ever since. Ive just placed an order for some ceremonial grade matcha so will try drinking after eating. Thanks!
You are specialist, thank you man ❤
The most informative video I've ever seen on TH-cam, well done! And I watch a lot of videos!
High praise indeed thank you very much for watching.
Just found out about Matcha a few wks ago. Where ya been all my life? 😭
I have never drunk matcha but thanks to your video, and other stimuli, such as when I was browsing what is trending on a shopping site, and I had come across a ceremonial matcha brewing set. My curiosity got the best of me! And because I do enjoy drinking teas and am extremely health conscious, I thought I'd browse TH-cam for a video to teach me more about it. There was only two other videos I'd watched prior to viewing yours and without taking anything away from the previous videos I've seen you all contributed greatly to my gnosis of matcha. Thank you very much.
Hopefully one day me and my wife we will have a cup of tea with you guys!!!
Great informative video, clearly presented, thank you so much.
Very informative! Thank You!
I love matcha and had no idea how time and labor-intensive it is to make. Thank you very much for this video.
Thank you I am going to try MATCHA
This was the best treatise on Matcha I have seen after MANY videos. Kudos!!!
Great video! Very no-nonsense and informative. Quality matcha is costly on a tight budget, what's your opinion on supermarket available brands of the tea?
I'll be recommending and promoting your video for my online family to check it out! Well made, thank you! Thumbs up!‼️
Thanks Maria!
Very interesting matcha facts! I love your tealosophy! Thank you for all the useful information, I am saving it for future reference! 🍵💚🙇🏻♀️💚🍵🙏🏻
Wow, I was just wondering what matcha was since I see people walking out of Starbucks with it all the time and I was clueless as to what I was missing out on. This was an incredibly informative and well-articulated rabbit hole I've fallen into. Thank you!
Great video and information.
errr.... asking if the Matcha is "radiation tested" other than yes, will they say anything else? like "No, it's not radiation tested, don't buy my product, I don't even know why I'm selling it"
What brand is safe?
Lol
That was my thought as well. Everyone will just say yes.
Is this is a concern with matcha?
@@loreboto5116 if your buying from china yes.
Excellent video Don.
I bought a matcha at a local Japanese sushi/market store, and the matcha was Sugimoto tea Daily Matcha. It has a USDA organic stamp on it, but I wonder if it tasted good and if it tasted like real matcha.
Daily matcha usually means standard. So it's a normal quality.
brilliant! i'm buying some now. we'll done.
Since Theanine works on the brain in a way that is similar to what some medications do, is there a recommended (or maximum) ammount of Theanine (or matcha) that we should consume?
Mohammed Al Ali i think there is no maximum amount of theannine you can consume but matcha is quite a strong tea so I would not go over 1 matcha a day. If you want to drink more green tea than one try to drink different during the day. For example a matcha or gyokuro in the morning and then switch to sencha for the later morning or afternoon.
Wow!! Amazing video. So much information. Love the scientific background.
Fascinating, thank you!
omg I learned a tone about macha thanx you
I purchased some ceremonial grade matcha from a farmers market, without any prior knowledge. Thank you for the information. I failed to ask about the radiation though...
The Russian subtitles are funny to read, they are confusing sometimes and can make a native speaker smile :)
Loved this thank you ❤
"matcher"
Ikr I bet he's Australian they also say "noer" xD
@@kevinmcallister9089 he has a british accent (source: I'm british)
Edit: though australian is very similar, only they tend to add "C**t" to the end of each sentence :P
@@kevinmcallister9089 i’m like 99.99% that’s a British accent (but i’m american)
Thanks souch for this info.
Hello Mei Leaf ! I also have a stone mill handmade in Japan.

Excellent info
I really like your presentation.. I learned so much about matcha and with the physiology knowledge that's a great touch, you earned a sub
Thank you for watching and commenting and WELCOME!
Extremely, extremely interesting!
omg this is the most informative video on matcha green tea I've seen today and I've been watching a lot today!! thank you!.
I have a question. Do you have any suggestions for which matcha to buy from Amazon?
Thank you! Since we supply and drink our own we have not tasted any Matcha on Amazon but look for Ceremonial Grade A and confirm that it has been shaded for at least 10 days before picking.
Mei Leaf~What about radiation tested?
I am so happy to have found your video. You are a wonderful teacher. I do have a question, you mentioned that you supply your own Matcha. Do you offer it to the public for purchase? Thank you again.
Not sure if anyone has asked this question but what if the Tencha leaves are said to be preserved fresh in freeze dried and air tight storage until ready to be shipped, in which they are ground in small batches? Looking into purchasing some Matcha finally and I'm researching while I watch - this question was brought on by replies from the distributor.
