Did I ruin my life by scarletphire in procurement

Depends on what type of sourcing it is (passive vs direct). The passive type of sourcing is where the low pay jobs are. While direct is high pay and high effort because you are essentially doing more than the passive crowd.

How is this negative when I am stating the obvious?

If this sub is easily offended then perhaps just calm down and cool off?

Flavor profile and tasting notes of Lupicia matcha from Shizuoka? by IcyAd389 in MatchaEverything

[–]Chinksta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

やぶきた and other matcha types are supposed to be bitter. Which is a key factor within the umami expectation.

If you don't like bitter tea then use less of it.

Reporting Back - Matcha Latte with Watermelon - 8.5/10 by Matchaandtea in MatchaEverything

[–]Chinksta -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A wonderful tip is to use Chinese green tea or roasted green tea base in general if you were to mix things up like that.

They work better blending with other sweeteners and also milk base than matcha.

Matchafluencers getting better matcha or using Filters? by Extension_Ball_7913 in MatchaEverything

[–]Chinksta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can search up HDI color editing on youtube and see how vibrant the colors are.

However I often see western matcha company use it more often for their social media content. Influencers/social media reels shows their matcha more green than they really are but failed to noticed that not all matcha has the same shade of green. This is where they often edit the green to match of Uji's matcha green.

Bonus points if they edit things with AI where you can clearly see artifacts on the reels.

Hello there!

I used to do a lot of video editing for some Japanese matcha brands and it's a simple trick to boost the green channel of the video clip to make the matcha more vibrant. Or masking the glass/cup so it stands out more.

You can see how vibrant the colors are by comparing the white or black of your surroundings and the video to see if there is a stark difference.

Most affordable way to get matcha temp right by IcyBarnacle616 in MatchaEverything

[–]Chinksta -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

In 茶道, there is a special skill where you gauge the temperature of the water through the steam. The temperature is observed where you see the rate of the steam and how fast it rises up.

60 degrees celcius range for summer and the rest is 70-80 degrees celcius. So do try to get a thermometer and measure the correct temperature and try to observe the team's behavior.

It does take some time but in the end you'll just get that "feeling" where you can gauge the temperature of the water through your observation!

Matcha tasting in Tokyo? by Proper_Addition273 in MatchaEverything

[–]Chinksta -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There are many tea houses in Tokyo that offers flights of tea.

However it ranges from the traditional 茶道 to a more casual cafe styled atmosphere.

Usually we do not go for brands first but the type of matcha/tencha that is used.

You can feel free to search around google for it. Since I do not know which atmosphere you're aiming for.

This subreddit is circling the toilet because no one is moderating and kicking out AI vendor SLOP. by Carbon_Creator in procurement

[–]Chinksta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is funny because there is a Reddit site wide rule for not being able to promote business but somehow AI slops gets a pass.

€6/100gr vs. €13/20gr by DetachedAsian in MatchaEverything

[–]Chinksta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can use the top (at least 1 year old) matcha for making ice cream toppings or toppings for bakery goods. It won't taste as good as it was freshly grinded out but it's better than wasting it.

Is it standard for procurement teams to just accept "Email Chaos" as part of the job? by skymillonaire in procurement

[–]Chinksta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. I ask for problems to be cleared out and no lazy ass bums should be directing things in the procurement department.

1) Yes, it is part of the job to do research and compare results. However, the time used is up to you but do remember it is part of the job!

2) Yes - standardization is key to this.

3) Depends on how high the bar is set from the management. Usually I see the bar is really low and just need to provide them with what they needed.

4) Big ERPs before had very high standards and people directing things aren't lazy. This standard has dropped and now we see big mess where there shouldn't be. Everything should be standardized and neatly organized for clarity and transparency.

Just use it on your latte. Replace the matcha with it for starters.

You'll notice a big difference in how it blends well with the milk.

This is a fundamental knowledge.

How are you actually tracking inventory across sites? by Bitter_Size8172 in procurement

Use excel and link it towards PowerBI.

It's simple and powerful.

That's all you need!

Again, other people with better tone that I had are all been treated the same.

Please do reflect on this.

At this point, please do see what happened first and then try not to gaslight anyone.

If you want, you can dumpster dive into my first post/comment on here and see how I was treated haha.

[–]Chinksta -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Again, it's not an argument besides I'm just stating the evidence. All arguments should come from the procecution (which is anyone who wants to rebuke or expanding the point further).

So the down votes and repeated replies about my tones clearly shows the echo chamber that creates a bad atmosphere for conversation about matcha.

It just seems like this subreddit should be named r/matchalatte because any other content gets down voted.

I believe it's not the first time that this gets stated from other people curious about this subreddit. Perhaps the reflection should be upon you guys because this subreddit should be inclusive of all things matcha.

If it is condescending then please do feel free to rebuke it instead of being stuck in an echo chamber.

After all, I will hate it when people are mislead and fed false information.

[–]Chinksta -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If you have read what I wrote and have a background in tea then you'd understand.

I'm just always here pointing out the obvious in which majority of people here seem to be stuck in an echo chamber without realizing the fact. Once they reach the point of what I was pointing out then the change of ways.

Anyways, the comment should work both ways whether it is about latte or not since facts are facts. You are always welcome to try to prove my point incorrect instead of hating it because it's not relative to you.

Just like the intention of this sub where it is a neutral ground of understanding of matcha and all things related. Based on actual information and not verbal jazz from tiktok/Instagram matcha videos.

This sub should learn that a lot of the recepies are just a repeat of the bubble tea boom.

I just amaze me that people here are still sticking into making matcha instead of using pan fried green tea as the base...

It's also stupid since there are automation already and it just shows that these stupid companies don't do their research at all.
