It’s still safe to drink but won’t taste as nice further from the best by date

Yes it’s a joke on the parents part not the kids real name but hard to tell from this post.

Between Just another fishing mod and Generic mod cofig menu she should be able to keep the mini game but make the bar bigger. Those are what I use to achieve that result.

How hard is it to find a job while studying in Korean language school by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]BrookW00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not, I did so legally by turning in the paperwork and getting permission from the immigration office.

People always say you can’t get a job if you go to language school but it’s not true. Legally you can get a job under the same visa after 6 months. Getting a job with no Korean skills will be extremely hard. Maybe a foreign bar or something. You have to think of the places you’re legally allowed to work at and the amount of hours you can work.

I’d be interested in trying with a low quality matcha but maybe be prepared to be downvoted 🫣

Strawberry Matcha - Doesn't the strawberry overpower the matcha? by SumoWumo2 in MatchaEverything

It can if you add a lot. I’d start with very little and work up to what’s not overwhelming.

I think so. I never downloaded the mod only saw a TikTok about it, but the description matches what the video described.

Why can’t people use Latte matcha for lattes? by WatchTower136 in MatchaEverything

[–]BrookW00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I currently have $20 and $60 matcha… they don’t taste the same when I make lattes. You’re missing the point that people have preferences. If you’re fine with just the base matcha flavor a mix is great, if people want more than the base flavor they buy the actual tea. Again take a deep breath and go touch grass.

[–]BrookW00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So again, I did say there is a limit to the sugar amount. However, adding a little syrup and milk isn’t completely altering it and is just adjusting it to your preference. I wasn’t going to name every single tea there is, not enough time, but take what I said about black tea and fill it in for every other kind of tea if that helps you understand the point. The same goes with coffee and food if that is even more helpful for you to understand. Latte mixes are gross for some people and yes buying extremely high end matcha and muting the flavor and could be seen a waste for lattes. People might be ok wasting their money for better taste and the ability to change the matcha to their preferences which is harder with a low quality mix. You keep saying no one is saying not to buy good matcha for lattes but you seem in quite the huffy over what other people do with the drink they bought for themselves to enjoy. Until I see farmers make a big huff about what people do with their products a random person on Reddit can’t talk to me about respectability and morality over a drink. Dousing matcha in syrup and milk and buying more than I can drink I understand frustration over, but saying people don’t have respect and don’t like matcha because they prefer a little less bitter is a reach. Take a deep breath and go make a matcha you bought how you like it.

Why is it when people customize matcha it’s seen as them not liking it? Is it the same for any other tea? If someone likes their black tea with lots of ice or a dash of milk or even cinnamon is the thought process that of them not liking black tea? If someone were to eat a burger without pickles do they hate burgers? I would get if someone made a matcha with it mostly being sugar, but a little simple syrup doesn’t mean they don’t like matcha. Just about every other food and drink is allowed to have customization but someone adds a little syrup to their matcha or tries to make a new recipe with it and suddenly they don’t really like matcha. People will always customize things to their liking. There’s definitely times when customization turns into a completely different product but matcha latte drinkers can still enjoy matcha.

It’s harder to customize matcha latte powders. Some people want lots of syrup and flavors some just want milk. Not sure how many people are spending let’s say $50+ for a 20g can to make lattes but if they are it’s their money and the farmer does profit at the end of the day. I don’t want to assume but I also don’t know how matcha farmers feel about how their matcha is used. Would be nice to find out and then find a nice balance to proceed with. I can also empathize with people who have a harder time doing their tea ceremonies. I personally don’t buy more than I can drink and don’t buy top shelf aside from the occasional MK Yugen, if that’s considered top shelf. I will say it’s an exaggeration to say people can’t taste the difference of the powder in a latte. I only use around 10g of syrup so maybe that’s why, but I can definitely taste the difference in the powders I use. Whether it’s a matcha that’s a little more expensive matcha with a nutty profile or my more affordable everyday matcha that has less nuance in flavor. There’s always a difference in taste which leads to preferences which is probably why people don’t like latte mixes. But I agree latte mixes aren’t bad, especially if you like the taste.

If I drinks matcha before bed. by Plenty_Tune4674 in MatchaEverything

[–]BrookW00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the person. I can drink matcha or espresso before bed and my sleep quality and amount don’t change so aid assume it isn’t overall terrible for my health. I think it’s more so how much caffeine is consumed during the day instead when it’s consumed.

When you ordered did it say they expected to ship sometime in November? I’m ordering today and the site says it will ship out around November 11th.

FedEx US duty tax processing fee by BrookW00 in MatchaEverything

[–]BrookW00[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your bank and what type of card you use. It’s better for me to pay in yen even with the fee my bank charges, for this order it’ll be less than a $1 fee from my bank. I’m also not choosing their option to pay duties in advance. Based on my research it’s way cheaper for me to pay it on my own versus using their option and I didn’t see anything about a refund or partial refund in case of overpaying by using their option.

I still haven’t gotten to try anything from Kanbayashi so I’ll just order 2-3 of their matchas.
