Palau Peach

Green Matcha Blend by Jade Monk

Legend says an elderly couple, while strolling in the countryside, discovered a small boy inside a peach. Upon opening the fruit, the revealed little man explained he was sent from heaven— they named him Momotaro, or “peach-son,” and he’s been an integral part of Japanese folklore ever since. His most famous exploit involved defeating a giant ogre, with the help of a monkey, a dog, and a pheasant. Jade MonkĀ® matcha and Momotaro offer a slightly more peaceful experience with their Palau Peach flavored matcha green tea, a fragrant, refreshing breeze of fruit. Standing guard behind the sublime flavor are abundant polyphenols and the mind-calming effects of Jade MonkĀ®, the “meditation tea.” Not bad for a boy found inside a peach!

This is a bit different than I was expecting. It is definitely PEACH, which I was expecting, and there is definitely green tea. But this reminds me more of a green tea power drink than a typical matcha. It isn’t quite as creamy as a matcha, and it doesn’t froth up like matcha.

But that doesn’t mean it’s not tasty. It is sweet and deliciously peachy! I do wish that there was no stevia in this, but I am glad that the cane juice manages to curb the taste of the stevia somewhat. I don’t really like the funky taste of stevia, but other than that, I am enjoying this.

It tastes a bit more like a sports drink or punch than it does matcha … more like a green tea made for people who typically don’t like green tea but still want the benefits of green tea, if you know what I mean. That doesn’t make it bad, it just makes it a bit different. Not your typical Matcha… for the other three flavors of this that I have, though, I think that I will use cold water instead of hot, because I think it’s better chilled.

MATCHA-THON #9 MATCHA
There is no way I will have time to make it to #10 – DRAT!
I gotta jet!

BUT! YES!!! It HIT me! Woot! FINALLY!!! MATCHA-THON!

Which is great because I have to keep on keepin’ on until late this evening…part two of my ‘job’ – busiest time of the year. The BEST part of this Matcha Choice is THIS Matcha says it’s like drinking SEVEN cups of Green Tea! Woooot!!!!

This smells like REAL Peach…sweet and juicy Pennsylvania Peaches, perhaps???

This has the same ingredient list as the other Jade Monk Mix I tried the other day…after closer examination…all of their flavors do…but…this DOES taste a lot different than the Chai! I wasn’t too hot on their chai, if you remember. This one…I think the Stevia and Cane works MUCH better with this flavor vs that chai.

In away this tastes a little like Sour Patch Kids or like candies…I remember a vegan gummy-oh that was peach…that’s what this reminds me of!

Yeah…I like the Stevia and sweetener MUCH better in this one. Azzrian tempted me with Peach earlier and I had to cave and try this. Glad I did. I agree with Liberteas that it’s not a straight matcha but a noveltea matcha or like a power drink with sweetener.

Depending on how tomorrow goes I might have to do round TWO of MATCHA-THON!
LOL

FUN!
