Baking with Organic Black Matcha powder + GIVEAWAY

SWISS CERTIFIED ORGANIC – BPA FREE CERTIFIED - USDA ORGANIC 

You know about green tea powder but how about black matcha? I recently received it and I didn't know about it until now.

Matcha DNA tea is organically grown and hand picked. It can been made as delicious tea, latte, martini or used in food like green tea ice cream and cooking. Few people know that the current practice of drinking powdered tea in the Japanese tea ceremony is actually from the song dynasty in China. It dates back to over 1,000 years ago. This practice was carried on in Japan and is now considered a pillar of Japanese culture. Today. once again high quality Matcha is being made in China. The tea has a slightly different character than its Japanese counterpart. Both teas have a deep green color and thick, savory taste and texture. Both are high in EGCG and antioxidants. However, this Chinese MatchaDNA is smoother, without the bitterness, and has rich, smooth and fresh taste unlike any other!

This black matcha was totally different from any other green tea matcha. It tastes like hojicha and I love it. I really wanna make latte with it but since I didn't have any milk at home, I used it for baking. 

I made low fat/ low calorie scone. with only used 6 ingredients below.
