Dissolvable tea?
Just wondering if any of ye have heard of these dissolvable teas around now? No teabags or leaves left in the cup, just dissolves into the water? What ye think?

Don't like this idea, somehow feels fishy.
But for example matcha is 100% natural and you don't need tea bags and nothing will be left in cup.

Re: Dissolvable tea?
I believe even powdered Tea and/or Matcha is more of a solid suspension rather than a completely disolvable..Xell wrote:Don't like this idea, somehow feels fishy.

That's true, but effect is about same. Don't need to be completely dissolvable. We have already more than enough chemistry in our food.iannon wrote:I believe even powdered Tea and/or Matcha is more of a solid suspension rather than a completely disolvable..Xell wrote:Don't like this idea, somehow feels fishy.

I've tried it, and don't like it. Perhaps a Jasmine version for making Jasmine rice, but even then, I'd rather brew real tea and use the result.

Re: Dissolvable tea?
Since teabags are already convenient enough i don't see much reason for this product to exist. Seems likes a product made for non-diabetic Splenda users. Sounds pretty gross to me.

But where is the matcha? Am I brain dead that I do not see their matcha?spot52 wrote:Not quite dissolvable, but I like this:

Re: Dissolvable tea?
Yeah, you are brain dead. But there is no traditional matcha there. I guess it is also a question of the definition of matcha. Some sources just say Japanese green tea, in which case their teas would all qualify.Chip wrote:But where is the matcha?

I do not think you can change the definition of Matcha strictly because a few people got it wrong, or didn't care to do any research.

And that is the beauty of being able to have your own opinion. What ever you want to call their product, it is pretty good on the go!edkrueger wrote:+1. Matcha has a correct definition and that is not matcha.

This is not a matter of opinion, I can throw Genmaicha and throw it in a food processor, it still does not make it matcha. At best it is "powdered Genmaicha " same with Houjicha and Sencha. Now I am not knocking its quality or its ease of use, but matcha has very specific guidelines as to what should actually be called matcha.
