new matcha in CBD - is it really good?

saw their launch post on rednote, and I was so excited to try it out! but sadly, this really fell short of expectations 😭

I got their matcha coconut with their type 3 matcha, and it tasted like grass water... bitter yet oddly diluted at the same time. the flavour was off, and the coconut didn’t help tie things together either. 💀 I usually take my matcha unsweetened, and I'm not new to matcha coconut either, so this one was honestly shocking.

honestly expected a lot better for the price and portion, and especially since they market themselves as using authentic Kyoto matcha. hopefully they’ll refine the recipes in the near future, but for now, this is just not it for me 🙃

... Read moreIf you’re considering trying the Moss Matcha at Marina Bay Link Mall, here are some extra insights based on my experience and what I’ve heard from others. Many matcha lovers look for a rich, smooth flavor that highlights the unique grassy notes of authentic Japanese matcha, ideally balanced with any added ingredients like coconut. Unfortunately, this particular coconut matcha felt watered down and didn’t showcase the traditional qualities expected from Kyoto matcha, which is often prized for its vibrant green color and umami taste. One thing to note is that matcha quality can vary greatly depending on the grade and preparation method. Type 3 matcha often refers to a more affordable grade which can be less smooth and more bitter compared to ceremonial-grade matcha. For matcha enthusiasts, especially those used to unsweetened traditional matcha, finding a well-crafted latte or coconut mix that balances bitterness and sweetness is key. In my opinion, Moss Matcha could improve by refining their recipe to make the flavor more authentic and enjoyable, possibly by adjusting the matcha grade or blending technique. Also, if you’re sensitive to flavor imbalances, you might want to try alternative cafes in the CBD area that offer matcha lattes and coconut-infused matcha drinks. Lastly, the location is convenient at 8A Marina Blvd, B2-29 Marina Bay Link Mall, Singapore, making it easy to visit if you want to judge for yourself. Just be mindful of the price point compared to what you’re getting—some reviewers have noted the portions feel small for the cost.
