I use a casablanca mint green tea in mine. If you pre grind the tea in a regular food processor you get a much better result. Add some fresh lime juice to the mint green ice tea. Delicious.

@Lina: Thanks for the info on Matcha! That thoroughly clears up the question that Hillary asked (and I incorrectly answered). I’m going to check out your pound cake right now.

i purchased it last week shortly aftter reading this. i use it to grind up organic sencha. matcha is made from specially grown tea leaves that are de-viened, not only is it finer in texture but also distinctive in flavor. while you can try to make a matcha-like salt mix, the effect would be different. maybe if u grind up gyokuro(grown the same way as matcha), it might taste more like matcha.
i made a green tea pound cake http://eatyet.wordpress.com/2008/02/03/green-tea-grinder-and-pound-cake/ , the powdered sencha taste very different than matcha.

@Tashin-san: Oooo! That sounds so good. I will definitely try it. I have been thinking about kabucha tempura recently, so this is the perfect excuse to fry some!

Hey, John, your incredible knowledge of Japanese cuisine which I can say is wider and deeper than many Japanese youngsters amazes me all the time.
Why don’t you let your new toy meet sea salt, and make your own “maccha salt” for tempura. It’s such a luxury to grind the hand-made maccha salt right before tempura is prepared.

Colleen is uber jealous of your new toy, and so am I! I just may have to buy one for her.
