The most overrated tea ever.
What was once a sacred aristocratic tea used in Chinese and Japanese tea ceremonies, is now being consumed globally by millennial urbanites. Matcha tends to be very popular with all the ladies.

Matcha
A low-key roast disguised as calm advice. “Matcha” is what you drop when someone’s spiraling, uptight, or killing the vibe—basically telling them to chill out, but with just enough shade to land. It also doubles as a state of being: relaxed, unbothered, all good—you’re matcha.
If someone tells you to “have a matcha” in front of the crew and they’re right, it’s brutal. Instant ego check. You’ve been clocked for doing too much, and everyone knows it. The only way back is to actually be matcha—cool it, reset, and prove you’re not rattled.
