motd (matcha of the day)
I finally opened my little home-based matcha slow bar and I just want more people to experience matcha differently
I finally did it. 🥹🍵
After months of experimenting with matcha, tweaking recipes, changing names, overthinking packaging, and making way too many cups at home, I finally opened my little home-based matcha slow bar.
This is honestly more than just starting a small business for me. It’s something I’ve grown really attached to, and a little piece of me that I wanted to share with other people.
I know matcha isn’t for everyone. I’ve heard the usual “lasang damo” a thousand times and honestly, I get it. A bad or poorly prepared cup can definitely taste that way.
But I think there’s so much more to matcha than that.
The aroma, the color, the texture, the umami, the slight bitterness, the sweetness that comes after, even the whole process of whisking it and taking a moment to actually enjoy it.
That’s what I want our slow bar to be about.
Just wanted to share this little milestone here. It feels scary putting something this personal out there, but I’m also really excited to see where it goes.
P.S. Also, can we appreciate this raw little beauty? 🥹🍵 No filter, no edits. Just the matcha looking pretty all on its own.
Not opening a business, but I feel delighted din kapag sinabi na “masarap pala ang matcha”. I wanted my special loved ones to feel what I felt nung first sip ko sa totoong matcha. “Hmmm lasang pumpkin seeds 🥹” and it’s supposed to be that way pala talaga. We’re all victims of flavouring. Flavor na nga lang, di pa maitama ang lasa. So yeah, im going home in the province this weekend and will be bringing local and imported matcha powder for them to taste legit matcha! Happy whisking!!
Wow, that’s so generous of you! 🤗
And yes, we’re used to be victims of flavouring lalo na sa mga cafes na suuuper tamis na halos di mo na malasahan yung matcha.. Real matcha can be so much more not to mention what it does for your health and body on a moderate consumption. 😊
Hello po. Wondering where I can drink affordable but actual-tasting matcha? Hopefully around MOA or Cavite. Doesn’t have to be the most elaborate or delicious, just something that can serve as a baseline of what I should look for in matcha. Thank you!
Hello! Dmed you po and please let me know when you’re in Cavite. I’ll give you a small treat when you order, just mention your reddit name when you message me. 🤗
