Because you're a worthless tastelet.

You're literally consuming the tea leaves with all the bitter shit that doesn't usually end up in tea when you brew it. Some people like that, some don't.

i’m actually eating the leaves! my doctor always said i can’t eat those though

you're probably drinking shit-tier matcha that's meant for cooking instead of drinking

This, culinary grade matcha is shit and not meant for drinking. You need ceremonial grade matcha if you want to make tea. You also want water that is considerably below boiling, ideally 180F.

Taste like pussy

do you actually have to boil the matcha or can you just stir it in some cold water for an iced drink

You can stir it into a cold drink, but the leaves won't release their flavors as readily. No different from any other type of iced tea.

Because it's over hyped mulch. The crafty Japs convinced weebs that it's infused with 500 years of ching chong bullshit and contains the soul of a pure samurai or some other bullshit because the locals are catching on to how revolting it really is. Especially since real drinks life coffee and juice have entered the market.
