I discuss the benefits of this herb along with some recipes in this post:  My Favorite Herbal Tonics/ Tea ingredients: Identification and Usage.  Check it out!  I will be giving away a quart sized container full of this lovely, healing herb.

Matcha Green Tea

Quick facts about Matcha tea

  • Only grown in Japan (and some parts of China)
  • Used by ancient Japanese to help aid them in meditation and focus
  • Has been proven today to help you stay relaxed but alert (thanks to the L-theanine)
  • Matcha tea comes from the same plant as black tea and green tea, however the unique growing and processing makes it very different in flavor and health benefits
  • Matcha tea is picked and processed by hand to ensure only the best leaves are used for the tea
  • The tea leaves are grown under shade for the last stage of their growth cycle which helps bring huge amounts of chlorophyll to the leaves, making them a dark vibrant green (and filled with nutrients)
  • The tea is VERY high in anti-oxidants, in fact it has 137 times the amount of antioxidants as regular green tea and by weight it has more antioxidants than many of the “super fruits”
  • Matcha is also said to boost metabolism and help reduce cholesterol levels when drank regularly (source)

The beauty of the matcha green tea is that a little goes a LONG way.  I will include a small container (which is A LOT) along with information on how to prepare and enjoy. :)

So, if you have been wanting to try some new teas in your diet – now is a chance to try your hand at winning!

To ENTER:  Just leave me a comment below letting me know why you want to try these.  Easy – peasy!  

**  Good luck to ALL and thanks for all your entries and comments! **

I will announce winner on Monday, December 17th!

  6. You to my friend….I hope you are staying warm and cozy, it’s been cold and rainy here. Been delivering lot’s of packages and I can honestly say I’m so happy we haven’t had any snow (yet) I do not enjoy delivering mail in the white stuff at all. So far so good. Until next time, have a nice evening (;

  9. Dear Kibby,
    In January 2012 I discovered healthy juicing & eating. I knew deep down this is what i’d been searching for all this time and hoped it would help me with a lot of my physical problems. They weren’t major, but enough to make me think: when will this finally be over! You know what i mean?

    Turns out it wasn’t just poor diet. My major breakdown finally hit me in the face last november, realizing I’d been pushing myself through university doing something that really wasn’t for me. I broke down and had to make a very hard decision to quit school for now. Scary as hell, believe me, but it was the right thing to do. Although a big relief at first, the journey isn’t over yet. I slowly have to crawl back up and learn how to enjoy life as it comes, and not with things I think I’m suppose to do.

    Even more now, I see how my diet has been a slave of my emotional wellbeing. And i realize even more how much I want and need to change it. I’ve been doing so much research and your tips and blogs have helped me so immensely much. Thank you for that.
    And thank god a lot of healthy juice places are popping up where I live!!! In one of those places I discovered macha green tea, but i just can’t find anywhere to buy, and if I do it’s freaky expensive for my ex-student budget… so you’re free give-away is almost a god-send! ;)

    I know it’s quite a story, but I’d would love to try these products for myself and discover the many wonders they hold.

    Thank you, happy holidays!!!

    • AMAZING story and YES! I know how you feel! Our human bodies are mind-body connected and doing one without the other is counter productive – I have learned this along my journey. We are ALL wired this way. I commend you immensely for following your heart and listening to your own intuition/ gut instincts that school wasn’t for you and YOU WILL find your true calling in time. Life is a journey to learn, grow, find out about yourself, evolve constantly, and with the ups and downs – it molds us into “who we are” and “who we want to be”. Read more into Law of Attraction and some of my inspirational posts – they help open up areas that have been immensely beneficial to me to “LET THINGS GO and FLOW/ EVOLVE AS THEY ARE TO BE”. Feel free to contact me anytime you have questions or just want to talk – about anything. THANK YOU! Happy Holidays too! <3
