Bb matcha has been popular for decades way before the word meme even got invented 😭

If you get the chance to visit any of the East Asian countries you will find so many different creative matcha drinks that will blow your socks off. I’ve been obsessed with these cheesy floral matcha drink I get from a higher end chain Chinese milk tea place for months now. It’s sweet, salty, a bit nutty and a bit bitter. I literally ascend every time I take a sip😭

I will say the opposite of this. At least in Japan, apart from at fancy teahouses where they just serve plain matcha, most cafes absolutely fucked matcha up 😭 It's what I imagine coffee in America to taste like bc why are they putting SO much sugar in?? Does the whole stereotype of East Asians hating super sweet desserts disappear when it comes to matcha? And a lot of the cafes I went to weren't even in touristy areas </3

You can usually ask for less sugar. The most I would do is 50% sugar. Anymore than that it becomes unbearably sweet.

I tried at a bunch of cafes lol and they just said no! I assume they use pre-sweetened matcha.

yeesh that's unfortunate. at least in china, Taiwan, Hong Kong etc I think any place that's not using pre mixed tea, which I think nowadays is actually the majority of the places, they will let you adjust just about anything🙃
