“You Know, this is a great way to start the day. The taste of the tea is great and it’s easy to use. I had never tried Victoria’s Best Matcha Green Tea before and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really enjoy it! I store it in my freezer and as instructed, allow it to come to room temperature before making either a morning tea or adding it to my morning smoothie. At first, I thought it was a bit expensive, but it actually is worth it since you only use a teaspoon a day, so it can last for quite some time. I’m really enjoying this tea.” —L.G.
