My go-to order:

A dirty matcha-iced matcha espresso latte with regular, unsweetened milk-for when I need that extra jolt before a hectic workday. Or, an iced strawberry matcha with regular, unsweetened milk for an afternoon pick-me-up.

Where I get my fix:

While I love whisking my matcha at home, I'd gladly drive all the way to SAPA Sourdough & Pastry in Gokulam, Mysuru for theirs. It's the creamiest matcha I've ever tried-totally worth the three-hour drive.

Old-school sip or creative twist?

Mango matcha was my biggest pregnancy craving. I think I drank it almost every day!

How and when did your love affair with matcha begin?

Beyond the texture and flavour, I love the non-jittery boost I get from matcha-it just hits the right balance. I had my first cup while travelling in Shanghai and was hooked.

My go-to order:

An iced matcha latte with honey or sugar syrup.

Where I get my fix:

I've always enjoyed ILEM JAPAN’s matcha, but lately I've been savouring matcha from Eventide in Injambakkam, Chennai.

Old-school sip or creative twist?

I live for creative twists! But even with mango or strawberry matcha on the menu, I end up reaching for the classic matcha latte.
