Health Benefits of Matcha Gymnema
This thin-grade matcha tea is blended with Gymnema Sylvestre, an herb known as the �Sugar Destroyer.� Gymnema inhibits the absorption of sugar in the intestine and also �blocks� the taste of sugar on the palate. Gymnema is often used in the Ayurvedic community to control Type I and Type II Diabetes. The herb is also known to help regulate weight loss, and cholesterol.

A study by The National Institute of Health claims, �Gymnema can serve as an effective and safe weight-loss formula that can facilitate a reduction in excess body weight and BMI, while promoting healthy blood lipid levels. Source: NIH http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15056124

People with diabetes, high cholesterol or who are significantly overweight should consult their health practitioner before adding Gymnema to their diet. Gymnema is not recommended for small children or pregnant or nursing women.

Tasting Note: Appearance, Aroma and Flavor
The Matcha 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 Matcha Gymnema is grassy and pungent with a distinct bitter note.

About AOI Tea Company
AOI Tea Company has a rich history of ninety years in harvesting and manufacturing Matcha Green Tea. The family crest, granted by the Shogun in 1600 A.D is Aoi, the Japanese word for Hollyhock. Aoi has been providing the finest Matcha Green Tea to Tea societies and food manufacturers for decades. Aoi was officially recognized as an official AICHI brand, a title which only a few elite corporations in the Aichi prefecture may earn. The Aichi title was awarded because Aoi has the largest Organic Tencha (Matcha before grinded process) production in Japan.

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.
