If high-quality milk means a milky flavour so pronounced that it overwhelms and masks the matcha flavour, I donβt want it. π This was exactly the case with this Iced Matcha Latte - there was no significant difference in quality as compared to other matcha lattes Iβve had in the past.
Which made me question - what was I paying close to $10 a cup for? There was really no marked smoothness in the texture of the milk or in the whisked matcha mixture. Plus, there was not even a modicum of an element of complexity in the flavour. And with little to no sweetener, this was truthfully and regrettably - an unpleasant and unreasonably-priced drink.
It was merely its minimalist visuals and branding that give it the βpullβ appeal. Otherwise, subsequent visits are out of the question. π
