Green Papaya Matcha

Green Matcha Blend by Red Leaf Tea

Green Papaya powder is made from Raw Wild-Harvested Green Papaya. This is because, important nutrients are contained in this fruit which eventually dissolve as the fruit begins to ripen. In its raw form, green papaya powder includes chymonpapain and papain. These are very crucial in helping the body to work down proteins and also assist the digestive system.

Since in its raw form green papaya powder can taste a bit acidic, when combined with the neutralizing flavor of Matcha, makes a healthy green tea that works better than any artificial laxative. This is because;

This tea is known to improve the digestive system thus reducing incidences of constipation, acid reflux and many other digestive disorders. An excellent digestive system is able to keep the body in strong fighting condition because the auto immune system is not compromised. Green papaya Matcha is an excellent beverage during meals, to avoid problems of the digestive system. It can also be taken in between meals as an exotic herbal drink or a healing health drink. For the sports enthusiasts who want to remain active throughout the sports season, including a regular cup of Green Papaya Matcha would greatly aid body tissues that have been injured and hardened by constant activity and the consequent tissue trauma. This is also a great tea for weight loss because; it prevents the arteries from being hardened by excessive deposits of fat. For the senior citizens who like to relax with a hot cup of tea, Green Papaya Matcha makes an excellent companion because it can be taken anytime day or night and it helps to restore their digestive systems that have been weakened by age. This is because; Green Papaya Matcha fully digests all proteins and releases amino acids for rapid digestion into the body. With a better performing digestive system, the body feels stronger and much more energetic. The soothing properties of Green papaya Matcha also aid in returning the intestinal environmental to its optimal levels. This is done by killing off all the dangerous parasites and bacteria.

This makes Green Papaya Matcha the tea of choice especially for those with temperamental digestive systems.

My friend purchased tea from red leaf using the referral code from me and asked if i’d be interested in trying some. The answer to that is always a resounding YES! Since I am trying to keep my cupboard manageable i opted to have this right away as my morning smoothie. Since adding milk and bananas changes the flavour enough, I saved a little bit so that I can have it straight as well to see how it tastes on it’s own.

In a smoothie however, this is a delightful little matcha. It’s got a bit of a tangy zip to it while still tasting like papaya. I also love the smell of this one and had it next to me all last night as I was trying to relax and get organized for the trip. OMG THREE MORE DAYS!!!!! FML i’m so busy.. haha I’ll rate this once i get a chance to try it straight :)

mmmm this is pretty tasty this morning. I wish i weren’t thoroughly exausted. One more day – thankfully my other half is cleaning the house and doing laundry today. YAY! I like the sweet/sour of this matcha. I’m not sure that I’d pick it up for myself but it was on my list to try. Not because i don’t enjoy it, but simply because there are others i love more and i’m trying to keep my matcha flavours manageable. :) Maybe i’ll bring this into the rotation in the summer :)

I chose this tea because I found the idea of Green Papaya interesting and a little something outside of what I would normally choose. But because it tends to be sour, I chose the Imperial Matcha base for this, thinking that the sweeter, better tasting base would help offset some of the Green Papaya’s more acidic nature.

And I was correct … I find this to be delightfully balanced. Tart but not too sour, and very nicely sweet. I’m actually loving the Imperial base at the moment, I might have to start upgrading my orders from Red Leaf from this point forward. I like this a lot.

It tastes creamy and rich and sweet and just … oh-so-yummy. The papaya BRIGHTENS the bowl with its acid, I taste that note on my tongue toward the finish and into the aftertaste, and it is really pleasant. It is sour, but I don’t feel the need to pucker because of the balance brought by the sweetness of the Imperial Matcha.

Beautiful Matcha.

Edited to Add: We will be giving away this Matcha with these specifics (Imperial Matcha, Distinctive Flavoring) in a contest on SororiTea Sisters that will begin January 5th!
