It’s been a Matcha week for me. I’ve been craving for a warm cup for a while now and have bought from CBTL, Starbucks, and Chatime.

Yesterday afternoon, I tried Chatime’s matcha tea latte w/ (just) 70% sweetness. I thought it must be pretty promising ‘cos they had decent and addicting milktea’s to begin with. After skimming through the beverage menu, (and yes, it takes a long while for me to choose and order something especially when there’s a looong list of options!) I thought I ditch the usual and try their hot matcha for a change. (I usually order their pearl milk tea with grass jelly or some lemon and yogurt-based drink, which I think is ultra refreshing after a long hard time at the gym).

Hmmm how do I start? Let me show this collage:

You see, there’s not much green in it. Hahahaha. Well, you guys, it matters how much green I see in my matcha latte, which brings me to a sad conclusion that their matcha tasted like warm milk. Too bland, too plain. For P90, it wasn’t worth it. The aroma wasn’t there, the spike taste of matcha was nowhere found by my sensitive, biased-towards-matcha tastebuds. It was… nothing special.

So ladies and gents, I say if you’re a fan of matcha or simply would want to try it out- grab it at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. A far cry, indeed.

For some excitement and to cut the routine, why not find and get your comfort food/drink? Feel good, find comfort- you deserve it! Happy Thursday! Oh guess what— it’s a long weekend ahead! Now that’s something to smile about. :)
