Do you drink matcha?

I do. I just buy it at the grocery store; I haven’t made much effort to find better matcha, but what I’ve had has been good. I just add a small spoonful to hot water. I never add any sugar or milk to tea.

Thanks. I’m brand new to it. I have only tried a couple of different kinds. I am currently drinking some Numi ceremonial grade matcha, which I whisk with a tiny whisk in hot water (not some fancy traditional bamboo whisk).

I have reduced my coffee intake, and started drinking green tea and/or matcha throughout the day. I’m looking to find some matcha online that might not be as expensive.

I’ve never been a coffee-drinker, but I have always liked tea, though until a few years ago I’d mostly limited myself to teabags; recently I’ve been trying more loose teas as well as matcha.

My friend mixes it in with his daily morning smoothie concoction.

I tried it once and didn’t like it. I realize there are different types. To me, it tasted like dust. Maybe it wasn’t sweetened and I like my coffee and tea with sweetener in it. I don’t know.

^ Yeah, it’s definitely not sweet. I don’t use sweetener in coffee or tea, so I don’t mind it. There are all kinds of sweetened matcha beverages, like lattes, etc, although I haven’t had these.

I used powdered matcha and make latte out of it. I can drink pure matcha if I want but it would just be too much to take in, and besides it wouldn’t be as good.

I add two shots of vodka with it

I tried it a few times. Not a fan.

Heya Huntington!

I have no idea what it is.

@Dutchess_III: It’s a drink. The person that had me try it was from Argentina. Appaerntly there they all drink it from the same drinking apparatus, which I think is gross. They drink it as a group thing there. Just like tea, there are many different kinds, apparently. Here’s the Wiki link which gives a general overview:

@Dutchess_III: I stand corrected. The drink I had was Yerba Mate. This Argentinian person had me try it and it was gross.

Matcha is finely ground green tea.
