wanted to pin a comment since this video was filmed very long ago and I obvi do NOT support buying from Starbucks 🍉 also - in the video I did rate their matcha the way I did mostly as a joke😭 because it is SOO sweet. Like 50g of sugar ofc it will taste good because it's basically melted icecream💀... I wouldn't even say Starbucks matcha is comparable to real matcha because it's just powdered sugar lol (that's why it tastes like rootbeer instead of matcha😅) - I know a lot you guys love Starbucks matcha but trust me you can make a better one at home!!! I want to be super clear that pure ceremonial matcha will always be my favorite & is ALWAYS what I order/make for myself at home! Nothing will ever beat ceremonial matcha from Japan ♥️ LOTS OF LOVE!!!!!! And so excited for the matcha biz 🍵
I loved seeing this video compared to the videos you make now about matcha, it’s so cool to see how your pallet and requirements for a good matcha have changed and grown and we’re so so excited about Nami Matcha!! 🌸🌱
Setsugekka I think is actually a place that gives people the experience of a traditional Japanese tea ceremony. It’s aimed to bring harmony and inner peace to the guests by allowing them to come in and take a break from the hustling world outside, which is why it’s very quiet. It allows them to focus on the simple and special moment of being served tea :) Ashley for the best matcha, I recommend you take a trip to Japan HAHA. Every matcha I’ve had there is delicious, even if they’re unsweetened. and japan’s Starbucks matcha is very good too :)
It is good matchaaa, I’ve worked there and the powder is real pure, ceremonial I’d say, the sweetener is not added, next time you go and have it either with water or almond milk, no classic and you’ll see
omg you and kelly are like the "olive theory", where one person in a relationship hates olives and the other loves them and supposedly it means that you guys are perfect for each other. in this instance its matcha
ive been taking traditional japanese tea ceremony classes for the past 8 years and since you love matcha as much as i do (to the point that you appreciate just straight matcha with water as it is traditionally made) if you ever visit japan, you should definitely book an experience at a one on one or private guest tea house in a japanese garden :) we spend years and years training to do demos and to become a MASTER takes decades of practice! there's so many intricate details the go into it from the foot steps, to how you sit, to hand placement, what you say, EVERYTHING
8:25 Hi Ashley! The Lê Phin coffee place, is a Vietnamese coffee so the word “phin” is pronounced “pheen” sounds like “seen” but with the ‘ph-‘ in Vietnamese. Hehe! Hope that helped! (: love your videos! (Also, the phin is the silver, stainless steel that helps brew the Vietnamese coffee)
As a matcha lover i never clicked so fast on this video, i get matcha everyday and i enjoy it sm and i’m now excited to go to nyc and try different types of matcha. Thanks ashley.❤ 12:45
You should turn your passion into your own shop! If you love something and have a passion for it. You can never go wrong for chasing your dream . Go for it, Ashley!
ashley's face after having matchaful made me think of the little girl who tries spaghetti and is like gagging but forces herself to smile and say it's good lmao
Match is super delicious and sweeteners definitely help with the taste haha. If you’re looking to start a line, try and find more natural sweeteners and combine them with the process from the Japanese match house, I believe that will be the best combo. Most sugars we intake are not natural and have negative affects on our body, ex: fructose. So although matcha has positive affects for the body, adding unnatural sweeteners hinders the benefits if someone was drinking it plain. Super excited to see the progress of your brand!
@@heathermartin7459 Hi Heather! So basically any sugar that isn’t from it’s natural form or is added to your food is unnatural. You have probably been to Starbucks or any coffee shop and seen the tall bottles with nozzles in them. Those are pretty much all syrups and processed sugars. Starbucks vanilla syrup alone has 38% sugar content which is why it’s so dang good loll. Now, you don’t have to completely cut off sugars, but you have to be careful which and how much you consume. Look at the dietary label on the back of your products and anything ending with -ose, malt, sugar, or syrup are all unnatural, this unfortunately includes certain honeys. Though, honey is a better alternative to refined sugars, bee honey naturally produces healthy antioxidants. Plus you’re able to use less honey and achieve a higher sweetness because of the fructose content. Some examples of natural sugar are from unprocessed foods such as fruits or even lactose from skim milk. I would suggest buying pure and plain matcha and adding your own sweeteners or milks/ milk alternatives to it, so you know what is going into your drink. From personal experience, the less sugar I consumed the sweeter natural sugars were and unnatural sweeteners became too sweet for me to enjoy. Which, in turn, helped me be “healthier”. I still enjoy donuts and things, just in moderation :D. Hopes this helps and sorry for the long explanation!
@@j.siballl no thank you! This was so helpful. I always buy almond milk and substitute with that and my skin has cleared a lot since not using dairy milk. I never through of using honey as a sweetener. I try to avoid the unnatural sweetners and syrups and I usually don’t know what to use to add.
Ever since I found this youtube channel I feel fulfilled. When kelly doesn't post, you post and the other way around. My life is really fulfiled rn and dont know what to say anymore except do what excites
I always look forward to your videos every week Ashley! I can tell that You're a beautiful and sweet person inside and out! I'm excited about the merch and the matcha line your making, I'll definitely be getting those! :)
I love a good matcha mention in an ashley video but an entire video? ASHLEY THIS CHEERED ME UP I STARTED DRINK IT BC OF U LOL IT WAKES ME UP SM 🫶🏽🫶🏽 I CANT WAIT TO TRY UR MATCHA LINE
it's a hot take liking that Starbucks matcha latte lol...that one always makes my tummy hurt and instant regret. I agree with you tho, the best matcha latte is best made at home with high quality matcha and oat milk :)
my favourite video, i love coffee and matcha but this gives me more motivation to drink matcha this year 😂 good luck with your endeavour ashley!! so excited to see it!!
Miss girl ily but you saying Starbucks broke my heart LOLLL. Same thing when you were in LA. Homie OC/LA has so many great ceremonial matcha places tot gotta venture out
I am also very addicted to matcha!!! 💚💚💚 for me, iced matcha always tastes better than hot (too cold for nyc winter) my fav spots are kettl tea, Starbucks, laughing man cafe and Lackawanna!!
I tried a matcha latte for the first time last year at Pret with the coconut milk and it was okay, like a 6/10. And then my friend bought me a matcha set for Christmas (from a TkMaxx store??) and OMG the vanilla matcha was BUSSIN! Since then, have been on the matcha hype waggon and then found your channel! Ashley if you want taste testers for your brand I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE 🍵🎉
I’m an avid tea drinker to the core (I’m drinking it as I watched this video). It’s understandable to see Ashley get so excited about matcha. I’ve never tried it (surprising I know), but I hope to one day. ❤️Great video.
omgg you should try Matcha Cafe Maiko!! haven’t tried their lattes but i love their frappuccinos! (they also have matcha shaved ice which is really good!)
I used to get the Starbucks matcha latte with soy milk no sweetener 🤩 I used to get ask for it shaken back then but I think they always shake it or make sure it’s well distributed now lol

It was not a joke u clearly love it
@@catsports2209anything sweet will taste good lol. i tried starbucks matcha a couple years ago and it was so so good but it tasted nothing like matcha
@@catsports2209and so what if she did? it's not like she's consuming it anymore

it must be the best. matcha has been “whiteified” by the US in these coffee shops. kind of like the avocado :/
@@tommie42 totally agreeee. i wish ppl could appreciate matcha for more than just this “aesthetic” and “trendy” drink.
Well said 🙌🙌🙌
It is good matchaaa, I’ve worked there and the powder is real pure, ceremonial I’d say, the sweetener is not added, next time you go and have it either with water or almond milk, no classic and you’ll see
Matcha in Japan is the GOAT
omg you and kelly are like the "olive theory", where one person in a relationship hates olives and the other loves them and supposedly it means that you guys are perfect for each other. in this instance its matcha
Omg but also kelly hates olives and I like them HAHAHAH
Glad to say ASHLEY was the one who made me addicted to MATCHA‼️🍵
Can’t front this is true
omg me too hahaha
Same lol😂
SAME
Hope this helped with ideas for your New Matcha Line!
I can’t wait❤

You know so much about Matcha! You passed the test with 99/100!!!! I also love matcha!!!
I switched from coffee after having problems with it to matcha and I think you were part of the inspo!!
Issa’s got all the lines 😂 👏 “would be bussin with some high fructose corn syrup” “literally a bug’s life”
As a matcha lover, this is very relatable. In some place, matcha can taste VERY bad but OFC the homemade and the starbucks is the BEST !!!
We love to see it our matcha ambassador giving ratings!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I literally can not start my day without Matcha!
the editing on this was incredible 🤝🏼 I LOVE IT
Ashley if you make a matcha I'm 10000% trying it!!! you're like the queen of matcha haha
I’m an avid tea drinker to the core (I’m drinking it as I watched this video). It’s understandable to see Ashley get so excited about matcha. I’ve never tried it (surprising I know), but I hope to one day. ❤️Great video.
As a matcha addict - I would definitely buy and try your matcha if you came out with one!
cha an is legit my fav. and the desserts are so BUSSIN
ngl I judge my matcha by the color more than the taste, the prettier the better
How do you know if it was better by the color ? Should it be darker or lighter
@@roroalhashmi5829 it’s not the best way to judge matcha quality. I just enjoy when the drink has a nice color light green
Ashley never disappoint,I love watching your videos 💙💙
I love watching her vlogs 🤎✨
As a big matcha fan, I would give 100% support to ur matcha studio!! Really looking forward to that
been waiting for this one since you mentioned it (before christmas lmao) n im so glad its finally here !!!
gave matcha a chance because of you and I fell in love with it, it's so good
Matcha places let's gooo
THE MOST AWAITED VIDEO!!! Cant wait for you to start your own matcha brand💜🥹
matcha lovers rise!
I audibly laughed when your friend said, “sorry to that guy” when you all said the sweetened one was better LMAOOO
Ashley saying “hella” @ 13:02 shows how Kelly & Isa’s Bay Area slang is rubbing off on her 😂
your videos make my dayyyy🥺🥺💕
Love your videos so much always the best part of my day❤
Watching this made me crave matcha😀 So excited for you to start a matcha brand! You should try making vegan matcha chocolate!
omgg you should try Matcha Cafe Maiko!! haven’t tried their lattes but i love their frappuccinos! (they also have matcha shaved ice which is really good!)
We would absolutely love to see ur own matcha brand 💗💗!!
I used to get the Starbucks matcha latte with soy milk no sweetener 🤩 I used to get ask for it shaken back then but I think they always shake it or make sure it’s well distributed now lol
