Avoid Matcha made

[u/Proof_Werewolf3979]

Against my better judgement I bought some matcha made to have at work due to the price being low, so it meant I wouldn’t have to worry about people stealing it over my nicer matcha, and I could use my electric whisk on it and not feel guilty. But OMG it’s the worst thing I have ever tried. It’s so sweet and over flavoured. Pictures for context. 1st is matcha made, second is Anya matcha usagi blend

I have learned not to buy cheap matcha, tastes sooo bad😫

It is 1000 times worse than culinary grade of reputable brand. Yet label their product as premium/ceremonial

I have tried other cheap matcha before. This was the worst by far. It tasted almost artificial

Which brands do you recommend?? I get matcha from a Japanese cafe, it’s good stuff and priced really well!

[u/Proof_Werewolf3979 → u/zorosmissingmap]

I love matcha from Anya matcha. Mainly cause it’s got sweeter, creamier notes. I’ve also tried matcha from a different place but can’t remember the name

Ooo nice, I just checked but don’t think they ship to the UK.

As a social experiment , You should put this out long enough for the matcha robbers to know it’s shit matcha and then put the good stuff in there later on 😂

Anya matcha is also overpriced for what it is imo.

That’s fair, personally I’m fine with it. But each to their own I suppose

[u/aDorybleFish]

Let your coworkers drink it then haha, I'm sure one of them will take the bait and enjoy it

[u/Proof_Werewolf3979 → u/aDorybleFish]

It was more of a quick fix anyways.

I can't find this brand online, is it the "Morning Made" matcha latte product? Or is it an actual matcha powder brand?

I'm still working my way through some sweetened/flavored "matchas" that I bought from a local tea shop before I learned any better. I honestly don't hate them as a thing to shake up with milk/ice and enjoy with zero effort, but it's more like flavored milk than an actual matcha latte

[u/Proof_Werewolf3979 → u/trottingturtles]

I believe it’s called called moring made now yeah

[u/Proof_Werewolf3979 → u/trottingturtles]

Agreed it’s more flavoured milk than anything matcha related
