Sharing my coffee experiences on The Blog
Don’t like the taste of Matcha? Read this!
Just like coffee, my first experience with matcha wasn’t great. It tasted bitter, earthy, and had a strange fish-like smell. Milk helped mask these flavors to a certain degree, but I couldn’t quite understand why matcha beverages were becoming so popular.
And then recently, my perception changed when I discovered a matcha brand that made me realize I haven’t tasted the right grade matcha all along. Discovering the right ceremonial-grade matcha is like entering another rabbit hole, similar to my journey in specialty coffee.

What lead me to start The Need for Coffee was an idea planted in my head by Lameen, a dear friend who has been writing about coffee on From Coffee With Love for more than a decade. I didn’t give it much thought and jumped on it straight away.
