@ohhowcivilized: Here are my 3 matcha hot takes as someone who has been creating matcha recipes for decades. One, matcha tastes better sweetened. Even traditional matcha is served with a sweet Japanese pastry to balance the bitterness. I like to add a little something sweet to my matcha lattes. Two, You don’t need a scale and weigh your matcha. I’ve never seen a matcha ceremony where they’re pulling out a digital scale. It’s fine to use a teaspoon or measuring spoons to get a basic ratio when starting out, but no need to weigh it down to the gram. Three, no one can match the mastery of matcha like Japan. No other country is putting in the time and labor to replicate the process. Which hot take do you disagree with? Let me know in the comments. #tea #matcha #matchatea #matchalatte #matchatok

What're your thoughts about hot vs cold matcha? According to TCM, isn't matcha damp -- and so it should be consumed only hot? IDK ....You tell me ❤️🥰❤️

Just wanted to say thank you for your content! I know we're all just strangers but your videos sparked some excitement in me. I haven't been doing the best mental health wise and finding joy/excitement had become a rarity this year. Then your video came on and I thought "how perfect for the summer! I really want to try this!" so I started just cold brewing, then added the fruits and herbs thing etc. I was unexpectedly laid off yesterday and I'm still processing but I've been hanging on to this little spark of excitement as a distraction into a better investment of my energy. So I went to a tea shop and got like 7 varieties and am making my own creative mixes now - especially with this hot weather, I'm also drinking more water this way. Long story short, thank you for taking the time and energy to share your knowledge and content. You never know how you'll affect others and in which ways ❣️🙏🏽

I disagree the last one... i have heard china is also making similar or better versions of cultivars like Yabukita or Saemidori and China is also helping us out through the Japanese Matcha shortage

I agree. My hot take, quality matcha shouldn't be the standard at most businesses that serve only matcha lattes. While high quality tastes better overall a good quality matcha made properly at a reasonable price point is arguably better for the average consumer.

Large serving of matcha to have throughout the day? As I work, maybe? Dying for advice from the tea sommelier.
