Tasting Note:  Appearance, Aroma and Flavor
Sugar Destoyer Matcha with Gymnema tea is bright green and has the consistency of fine talcum powder.  The color is slightly subdued when compared to a pure matcha.  The aroma starts sweet and creamy like a quality matcha and finishes with a hint of bitter herbs.  The taste of Sugar Destroyer is grassy and pungent with a distinct bitter note.

Matcha Preparation
Place 1/2 to 1 tsp. matcha (2 bamboo tea scoops) in a matcha bowl, then pour 60 ml (2 oz) of steaming hot water (180 degrees) into the bowl.  Rapidly beat with a bamboo whisk until surface becomes foamy. You may also use an electric frother, but be sure to use a deep glass in lieu of a shallow bowl.
