How do you tell good matcha from bad? Open it and look. Good matcha is bright, electric green. Dull, army green or yellowish powder means it's past its prime, has stems in it, or most likely both. Then smell and taste it. explore.breakawaymatcha.com/…

The four matcha Eric mostly drinks every day, in one box: Blends 94, 98, Rikyu and Hikari. Four 4g jars, one flight across all three tiers. breakawaymatcha.com/products…

How much matcha per cup? About 1 gram, roughly half a teaspoon, in about 2 oz of hot (not boiling) water. That's where we at Breakaway Matcha tell beginners to start. The surprise is how little a proper cup takes. explore.breakawaymatcha.com/…

Yes, you can travel with matcha. It stays fine at room temperature for a few weeks; I try not to push it past two. Matcha can't go rancid, it just gets kind of dead and dusty. Get it back in a fridge once you settle in. explore.breakawaymatcha.com/…

How much matcha for risotto? 1 teaspoon, sieved, for 1 cup arborio (serves 4). Stir it in with the last half cup of stock. Vivid green, subtle earthiness against lemon and Parmesan. From the Breakaway Matcha journal. explore.breakawaymatcha.com/…

@ShopifySupport @tobi @harleyf can you guys PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE allow bitcoin payments? We need your leadership here! Or at least allow @Square @jack as an option so I can do it through them?

@ShopifySupport is really like to offer bitcoin payments on my store. While it would be wonderful if @shopify offered this, I’d settle for using @Square as a payment option. Since they are now offering some wonderful options for customers to pay in bitcoin. @tobi any chance we can make something happen?

Mind officially blown
It is not often I read something that blows my mind, but this did. 🤯
I would highly recommend taking the 5 minutes to read it, and then an additional 5 minutes to pause and reflect to consider all the ways our world is about to radically change.

Amen to that
Within just 1 hour of drinking a single cup (200 mL) of green tea, we can significantly cut down on the rate of DNA damage in our cells. This is because green tea significantly boosts the activity of a DNA repair enzyme in our body that can fix DNA damage. see.nf/47dqCnJ

@andyjschoonover Andy I thought I loved Crowdhealth but you DO NOT make it clear that you will be charged $8k+ if you live in California. I’m sure it’s great for other states but You should make it crystal clear that this bill is coming if you live in CA. I feel really deceived.

Hey @crowdhealth , I just got a bill for $8352 from Sacramento for not having “proper” health insurance. You were never transparent that this would occur. I’m outraged and profoundly disturbed that you don’t tell your members this will happen.
