Domo Tea

I gave a bit of a review of this stuff before but that didn’t seem like enough so here is a full one and with a little background on matcha itself.
Domo teas are a matcha blend that comes in three flavors (at the moment) you has ginger kiss, vanilla cloud, and chocolate ecstasy. They are made with evaporated natural cane sugar juice and skim milk powder, which goes well as a latté or in a smoothie among other things and has only 20 calories per scoop (I’m not a calorie counter so this doesn’t mean anything to me). Domo is a Canadian company started by two women from Vancouver Tammy Olsson and Anne Yeo it can be found in western and central Canada and will be in Ontario and Québec soon but until then you can order from there website (US and international as well). There website also has a recipe section so you can make smoothies and some cocktails as well.

I thought I should also give a little bit of background on what matcha is so you know what you’re drinking. Matcha is a Japanese preparation of the carnellia sisensis plant by grinding the whole leaf, which is different from other types; this gives it the most caffeine out of all the teas. The tea is ground and the more finally it is ground the higher the grade is Tencha grade is the only grade that can be considered matcha all others are just considered pulverized. It can take up to an hour to grind 30 grams of the leaves so matcha is usually more expensive then other teas. It is produced in Japan in the Uji region of Kyoto, the Nishio region of Aichi along with Shizuoka and Kyushu. The plants used are shade grown and are covered with blankets two weeks before picking to protect them from any direct light. Matcha also has some of the highest antioxidant count out there with 70 times that of orange juice (fresh I assume) and many times that of green tea. Hoped you learned something about matcha and go out and try some of those domo blends there just great and one glass and your fine for the whole day it doesn’t make you all jittery like coffee.
