Hemp Matcha

Green Matcha Blend by Red Leaf Tea

Hemp protein has some rather controversial origins within the seed pod of the well known cannabis sativa plant. In spite of this, Hemp protein does not have the drug inducing side effects of its mother plant but is in fact nature’s highest source of natural fiber, protein and vital fatty acids. This means that, it has been documented to contain up to 10 necessary amino acids and has proven itself as a fundamental source of natural fiber.

Since dark green nutty flavored hemp protein powder is very rich in natural protein, blending it with Matcha creates a balanced drink that can be taken as a healthy beverage at any tea party. Hemp Protein Matcha also provides its drinkers with a special taste that comes with bonus health benefits such as;

Adding to the body crucial new protein sources that cannot be produced naturally by the body but are necessary for survival. Sustaining life because it is a 100% protein source. It overshadows all other plants in its ability to prolong life in situations where no other foods are easily available. Easing the digestion of protein into the body without the uncomfortable gas effects. Its rich fiber source is also excellent in ensuring adequate bowel movement in many diets that are low in fiber. Neutralizing common protein allergies. Keeping inflammations at bay. Maintaining brain activity by the provision of all essential amino acids. Can improve some skin diseases like atopic dermatitis. Contains other minerals including iron, calcium, vitamin E, magnesium and the B range of vitamins.

This flavored matcha is a bit different from what I would normally try, which is one of the reasons why I decided to order it. That, and I have a history with hemp. In college (and long afterward) I was a strong advocate for the legalization of hemp farming/production. No, not marijuana, hemp. They are different, they even come from different strains of the plant.

Anyway, I wanted to try it and I’m glad I am. This is really very good. The hemp gives the matcha a very pleasant nutty kind of flavor, and seems to accentuate the vegetative, earthy qualities of the matcha. It is smooth, creamy and very tasty. I won’t go all out and say that it’s my favorite flavored Matcha, it isn’t, but, I am enjoying it, and I’m not sorry at all that I decided to give it a try.

Today I am drinking my Matcha as a smoothie: yogurt, a tablespoon of Matcha, two bananas, a few frozen strawberries, some half & half (I should have used the hemp milk that I have in the cupboard, but, my half & half is getting near the expiration date), and a few ice cubes. Absolutely YUM. I can really taste the flavor from the hemp with these other ingredients… it really stands out.

Yummy and refreshing.
