Matcha is a type of green tea. More specifically, it's made from green tea leaves which are ground into a fine powder, instead of just using the leaves as is. Matcha as a tea is very bitter and has a rather earthy and vegetable-y taste.

However, matcha is also used as a flavoring for a lot of snacks and desserts, including pocky! I've been told that matcha as a flavor is far less bitter than the actual tea. But from what I've been told, it's still a bit bitter, and in some cases it's actually rather bland. Granted, I have never tried matcha as a tea nor a flavoring, so I can't say that for certain. :u

Still, I have the feeling Maddy wouldn't like that kind of flavor very much. :P
