Yeah, I Love You So Matcha

Hi everyone! A few weeks ago, I posted a picture of my matcha latte and someone asked where my-go matcha spot was in Greenville. I really only order matcha drinks while traveling, so I didn't have an answer for Greenville. However, over the last 2.5 weeks, I went to several different coffee shops and cafes to find that answer.

I went to eight places but only six carried matcha. So, in no particular order, I broke down those locations by price, ingredients, matcha taste, and overall taste. Side note, many places used added sweeteners, so I asked them to leave those out and only use almond milk.

O-CHA tea bar

$4.05 one size (12oz, a bang for your buck)

ingredients: unsweetened matcha, steamed milk, and a simple syrup. I ordered mine with out the syrup.

matcha flavor: medium/strong

overall taste: simple and straightforward :)

Village Grind

$5.86 small

ingredients: rishi (sweetened matcha) and steamed milk

matcha flavor: medium/strong

overall taste: yum!

Caviar & Bananas

$5.45 small (iced or hot)

ingredients: rishi (sweetened matcha) and steamed milk

matcha flavor: medium/strong

overall taste: real good!

Southern Pressed Juicery

$9.18 one size

ingredients: matcha, almond mlyk, coconut butter, agave, vanilla extract, coconut-whip + Wildcraftted Beauty, Brain or Energy

matcha flavor: mild

overall taste: pretty good! I should have kept all the ingredients in because I wasn't really able to taste the matcha. With drinks that have several ingredients, it's made that way for a reason so I'll be going back to try it as is:)

Bex Cafe & Juice Bar

$4.65 small ingredients: GT Matcha (has some added sugars) and steamed milk

matcha flavor: medium/strong

overall taste: delicious!

Due South

$4.50

ingredients: matcha and steamed milk

matcha flavor: strong

overall taste: tasted most similar to the one I make at home !

Everyone has their own preferences and these are just my opinions. With that said, I'd go back to Due South because of how closely it matched my homemade lattes. I'll be sharing my full matcha latte recipe soon, stay tuned!

Thanks for reading!
