It is roughly the same price as a Latte (around $3.50 for a big one) and you can get it almost any way that you can think of. I like just the plain matcha iced tea and the matcha latte with steamed soy milk. If there is a Tully's coffee anywhere around you please go check it out. The stuff tastes great and makes you feel great too!

Otherwise, ItoEn is a good source here in the states. I think one of the other benefits of making green tea is that it is a slow and thoughtful process which requees you to slow down a bit. It has enhanced my quality of life in ways I had not anticipated. I am a cancer doctor and recommend green tea to my patients, family and friends.

I personally buy my Matcha through eBay. The brand is "<a href="http://search.ebay.com/maeda-en" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Maeda-en</a>" and the eBay seller is "Inpisa" (no, we don't profit from this). It weighs 1.1lbs, 50 bucks and lasts for almost 2 years. Mine is about 1 yr and 7 months old and I still have left for 2 more months. It's powdered, and apparently, very concentrated. You might want to serve it chilled because it doesn't mix well with hot water. Put some cold water first then add lukewarm if you want it hot. Another option is if you simply want the exact compounds in Matcha Green Tea, take <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/104-2375734-8877551?index=blended&link%5Fcode=qs&field-keywords=now%20foods%20egcg&tag=healthynerd-20&sourceid=Mozilla-search" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow"><strong>NOW Foods EGCG</strong></a>. One pill is equivalent to around 3-4 cups of Green Tea. If you are battling Stage I cancer, you may experience immediate remission from taking that. Plus it's much cheaper, much more economical, and easy access. I chose NOW Foods because it is the one trusted company that is economical without compromising their raw material quality. Jarrow is also an honest brand. 10$ good for 3-6 months. Hi Jan,

This may have been true when he conducted the study, but it has been shown that powdered sencha has 3 times the EGCG value of matcha. This can be verified by the study: Mutat Res. 2001 Sep 20;496(1-2):75-81 * Ohe T, * Marutani K, * Nakase S.

It usually amounts to 50% of the amino acid content. The Japanese love it so much they put it in everything; soft drinks, gum, candy and bottled water. Love your work!

BTW, if you checked your mail, an even better way of getting the anti-aging compounds from the tea is buying http://www.greenteamax.com/ (not an affiliate) If you enjoy it as a tea and don't drink it primarily as a health and anti-aging supplement, the tea powder would do for now.

I also must admit that I'm one of those people who thought that the logo was a toxic waste barrel (the orange looks like tongs). Otherwise great blog, I just discovered it today. :) Awesome, I’m always looking for new green teas to try out.
