I was suffering with depression and anxiety and drinking this tea lifted up my mood and I feel great!❤❤❤

[kayleigh]

I can’t drink caffeine normally, it makes my anxiety way worse. This is the only caffeinated beverage I can drink.

[TinaLeder]

Just gathering more reasons to drink matcha everyday!😅🍵

We love matcha! Thanks Tim for having Dr. Weil on the show. Great interview

I recently decided to learn and use ceremonial matcha and ceremonial cacao. I learned all of this and more in my research. My main reason for
Doing this was to have more choices than coffee and herbal teas. Mostly to avoid the dairy shortage that it just beginning. I love 1/2 n 1/2 in my
Coffee lattes, and no other plant or nut milks can replace the taste, altho I like those milks and use them. Im telling you this because I learned that dairy blocks the metabolism of the phenols in both matcha and cacao. So Im using macademia for the cacao, and hemp milk for the matcha. The other reason/benefit for doing this is the health benefits, and both can handle supplementing
And retain their own flavor. Ive created an entire liquid cuisine for
myself, and actually obtain more nutrients thru my drinks than from solid foods. Its all homemade with
The best ingredients too.

[sukotu]

Love the apparently unscripted and awkward self promo at the end haha. Off now to make a matcha latte!

[AndreFasciola]

Great information on matcha. I’ve been a fan of matcha and Dr. Weil for years. Tim did a great job in this interview too.

[Solus]

He looks great for being 81 years old. I'm sure matcha had a role to play in that too.

Warning: "Matcha tends to be high in oxalates. This is because, when you drink matcha, you're actually consuming the whole tea leaf, rather than just an infusion of tea leaves. If you're trying to avoid consuming oxalates, you should steer clear of matcha."

[lindahouston]

I have being drinking matcha before I move to USA, everybody I met asked me why I drinking and now they drinking too

[doriscastillo]

Greetings all the way from Republic of Ireland filipino.

[Unsubscribedd]

I wonder if he ever gave this Macha tea to Yoko Ono? I heard a story where she and John Lennon got a special tea that arrived from Japan, back in the 70's.

[amya]

I drink up my matcha before it can go bad. ❤

[snorremortenkjeldsen]

Organic matcha: Here in Japan, you can get organic matcha for about 500¥ in most supermarkets

[KingdomUploader]

Can't I simply ingest matcha powder? I'm after the effects more than the deliciousness. Thanks
