Premium Japanese matcha – 100 grams. New, sealed package. This is not culinary matcha from cafés and not expensive ceremonial matcha costing $35 per 50 grams. Premium grade is a well-balanced option in terms of quality and price. 100 grams is enough for 50 servings of strong matcha; on average, it is enough for me for 60–70 servings. It helps reduce anxiety, irritability, anger, and fatigue, relaxes and improves mood in a Buddhist-inspired way. It provides calm, long-lasting concentration and energy, without the sharp crash, nervousness, or tachycardia associated with coffee. All the effects of matcha come from L-theanine, which can fully or even better replace an L-theanine supplement in the diet. Ideal for a humid climate if you need to work mentally and feel less anxious. I discovered matcha on cold sparkling mineral water this summer. It takes a minute to prepare: add mineral water to the matcha powder and stir well with a teaspoon. In two steps, you get a tasty, refreshing, and invigorating drink. I drink it every day, adding ice on hot days. Price: 80 lari.
