Using cane sugar that’s perhaps a healthier alternative to sugar syrup, the pink matcha latte is lightly sweetened, with a dual gradient of colours that’s aesthetically appealing 💚💖. Sad to admit that this might not meet up to the expectations of hardcore matchaholics, with the freshly whisked matcha being overshadowed by its pink companion when the layers are incorporated together as a a whole. The characteristic earthy flavour and vegetal, bitter undertone became a secondary flavour profile to the tangy, fruity and subtle floral notes of the pink elements. Apart from the aesthetics, another saving grace could be the intensity of sweetness, which was minimal in this beverage .

2️⃣Matcha cream cheese donut [3300 KRW ~> $3.96]
Not your typical deep fried donuts but rather one that’s baked, with a texture resembling that of a financier instead. A cakey texture that’s dense and crumbly, the top coating of matcha cream cheese was also something that might not appeal to hardcore matchaholics, leaning towards the sweet side that lacks earthiness. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed this donut for its texture! 😋. Perhaps getting other flavours might be a safer (and wiser) option 🤭.
