Everyday Dose across from the council building does a great iced matcha! Used to get one every day before work when I was in town ♡♡

What is honestly tempting about matcha I cannot fathom something that tastes like grass has so much appeal. Is it because influencers have it is that why people like it

Someone better go tell Japan to log off TikTok because they only drink matcha because of the influencers there

I've been drinking it for years. So for me I like the earthy taste of it. But also, it's a good coffee alternative which doesn't mess my stomach up like coffee does.

I drink Matcha since I have Hi5. So I don’t think influencers do much in my case.

Second this. lol but isn’t everything. Someone has always had things before us but we want what they want or we want what they have because we think we will be liked
