Matcha article on yahoo food

[Drax]

So a did a quick scan of this article, which includes some interesting speculation toward the end.

https://www.yahoo.com/food/matcha-is-th ... 84926.html

The most amusing thing to me was the mention toward the end that matcha from coffee shops are mostly "pure sugar" and that you can tell because of the light color -- and that's exactly how the matcha in the picture at the top of the article looks.

Stupid hipsters and their organic locally-sourced free-range artisan matcha

Bet it would be 12.95 per serving. And you'd have to watch some dude with a civil war beard whip it up and act like he knows about it.

I suppose it's possible for the dude with the civil war beard to actually know and appreciate matcha.......

....but not likely.

You haven't been on our message boards, I see. They're just longer and hand-wringier.

Well, fewer fatalities anyway.

Perhaps we could bring our own matcha and show them how it's done

Haha they speak about a "calm alertness"... I've never experienced anything "calm" from a matcha high!

I've been meaning to get matcha ware anyways...can't let some phony hipster outdo me!
