Why is everyone obsessed with matcha now, putting it in recipes it doesn't belong? It's been around forever and it doesn't even taste good. Why has it become a meme food?

something has to be the current meme food; it was matcha's turn. in a couple months, they'll move on to something else. if it really bothers you, find another ingredient and spam it all over social media until it replaces matcha.

Make tea with it. Add it to a sweet blended drink or to a dessert where its delicate flavor might not out of place. Don't add matcha for color, or ruin a dish with its flavor, or make it a discordant.element in a classic recipe, or use matcha as a meme to signal "health." Please. Use matcha in your food sparingly, and wisely.

I'm not against creative dishes, so long as they look and taste good. I just hate it when some instagram cook makes a pile of schlop, throws some matcha in it and justifies it by saying it's "new" or "creative." Matcha isn't a "new" ingredient. Making slipshod unappetizing food with matcha haphhazardly added to it isn't "creative" Far from it! In fact, you an your "freethinking" ilk are ruining matcha!

Yes. That's exactly how it should work. It's mostly amateurs and bloggers trying to make a buck who flood the internet with their slum gullion "dressed up" with matcha or other meme ingredients that they use as click bait. Chefs use meme ingredients to appeal to the crowd and its collective wallet, but you won't find a terrible lot of disgusting meme swill listed on the menus at good restaurants. Use meme ingredients, but do it with some taste and originality, please.

What do you mean by "ceremony grade"?
The highest quality matcha is of course hand-ground in a stone mill by a monk, but even mass-market matcha is still specially grown tea ground in a mill.

Imitation matcha made from ground sencha is a thing, but that's not matcha and isn't priced as matcha.
