This is the hilarious moment that a grandmother tried Matcha for the first time – and was less than impressed.
Caroll from Yorkshire declared the drink a ‘waste of B **** y -money’ after he was offered to try a sip from the ice drink of her granddaughter.
Matcha – A form of green tea in powder form clamped and mixed with milk to make a latte – has become the favorite drink of Gen Z.
The trendy health drink has become popular with teenagers and young adults after he has been promoted by influencers of social media – to the extent that Japan has began to see shortages.
In the video, posted on TapCaroll could not hide her disgust immediately, go “Oh, oh!” While she tried the unpleasant taste.
When her granddaughter, who was filming, said that the drink was not ‘bad’, Caroll did not stop because she gave it a brutal assessment.
“It’s bad, it’s terrible,” she exclaimed, looking at the green drink next to her in contempt.
‘And if you look at it, it seems that someone is caught inside. It’s good weak! ‘

After taking a sip of the Starbucks Cup, Caroll stated that it tasted ‘terrible’
“I don’t understand Young’uns,” she added to the video caption. “A real diva wants a cuppa with six sugars, a good helm and a cigarette in my hand.”
The video has become viral on social media and has achieved more than 700,000 views.
And it seemed that most people agreed, as they wrote: “Matcha is disgusting.”
A second added: “Proof that hype distorts your taste buds, that was a purely unbiased opinion.”
“For me those Matcha fans in fact illuminate the gas by thinking that it is fun,” one third noted, while another added it: “She’s really over Matcha, it’s like dirty.”
One person said, “Her lips hits the bitterness of the matcha, let me crack.”
For another, the video brought back a dear memory and wrote: ‘I have not had my Nan since I was 13, but this is exactly how she would respond, only the Eastern version. Thank you for laughter. ‘
The tea, made from the finely ground powder of green tea leaves that are specially grown in shade, is particularly loved by Japan since the 12th century, when Buddhist monks introduced the nation.

Production has almost tripled over the past decade, with Japan producing 4,176 tons of matcha in 2023.
Consumption of the antioxidant -rich green tea ‘reached a record high last year’, according to Fumi Ueki, the chef of one of the largest tea companies in Japan.
And rising demand, largely powered by online trends, has given rise to warning for further deficits this year.
Great influencers like it Sophie Habboo And Kourtney Kardashian have embraced the benefits of Matcha.
Matcha -tea is made by combining fine matcha powder and hot water with a special matcha -garde, which is used to form a creamy foam on the tea.
Proponents say that the tea can stimulate the health of the brain because of the high concentration of polyphenols, chlorophyll, caffeine and L-theanine.
The question largely comes from outside Japan – while the consumption of Matcha and Leaf Green -Tea has fallen in the country, global sale is expected to be almost doubled from £ 2,2 billion in 2023 to £ 3.9 billion by 2028.
In the past year alone, the sale of Matcha products in the UK has doubled. The arrival of the US Cafe Street to the High Streets of Groot -Britain in 2020 thought it led to an increase in popularity here, with its range of Matcha teas combined with other flavors such as blueberries and white chocolate.

The peak in demand has become such a problem that last year two of the largest tea companies in Japan, Ippodo and Marukyu Koyamaen, unprecedented purchase limits to Matcha products announced.
But increasing evidence suggests that too much iron deficiency can activate. Left untreated, this can increase the risk of serious infections and life -threatening heart failure.
Iron, found in red meat and a variety of vegetables, is crucial for the production of red blood cells, which transport oxygen to the organs. It is also vital for a healthy immune system.
Experts now say that drinking only one matcha tea can cause problems per day.
Research suggests that teenage girls, pregnant and postmenopausal women are at the highest risk of a matcha-related iron deficiency.
“People must be aware of the potential risks of this drink,” says Dr. Jeannine Baumgartner, an expert in nutrition and researcher at King’s College London, who studied Matcha. ‘There is a real danger of a shortage, especially for younger women with higher iron needs.
It has long been known that in some cases green tea can cause an iron deficiency.

This is because it contains high levels of tannins – a connection that gives tea bitter taste.
Research shows that tannins attach to iron molecules in the digestive system and prevent them from being absorbed.
An important overview of more than 150 studies published in 2010 by the Journal of Chinese Medicine showed that the consumption of more than three cups of regular green tea per day reduced the iron absorption. However, it is assumed that Matcha has an even greater effect, because a cup has almost seven times as many tannins as a green tea of similar size.
In addition to the tannins, it has also been shown that caffeine reduces iron absorption and per gram, Matcha can contain up to four times as much caffeine as coffee.
Experts say that this means that even one matcha per day could have health effects.
“Matcha is much more problematic than green tea, because it is more concentrated, so the iron absorption influences even more,” says Prof Baumgartner.
“Even a cup, if it is poorly timed, either up to two hours after a meal, affects your iron level.”
Iron deficiency is already a problem. Three percent of men and 8 percent of women in the UK Keep the anemia through iron deficiency and it increases. Symptoms are a yellowing of the skin, dizziness and depression.
Last year there was a ten -time increase in the number of people who were admitted to the hospital with iron deficiency, with almost 200,000 being admitted.
But there are steps that Matcha -Drinkers can take to protect themselves against this complication.
“If you add milk or lemon juice, this can neutralize the tannins, which can help with the absorption of iron,” says Sarah Carolides, a London -based nutritionist. “It is also best to prevent oat milk in your matcha latte, because oats contains phytates, an acid that can also disrupt iron absorption.”
Timing is the key for those who are considering a cup of green tea.
Prof Baumgartner recommends drinking Matcha within or after a meal. A 1983 study unveiled a cup of green tea while eating a hamburger meal reduced iron consumption by 68 percent.
As the drinking habits change, experts call on the guidelines for doctors who are looking for iron deficiency to be updated.
“Doctors and GPS are not aware of the relationship between drinks and iron absorption and that really has to change,” says Prof Baumgartner.
