As a matcha specialty shop, we had high expectations for Matchaya’s matcha soft serve. Thankfully, it didn’t disappoint. The colour of the soft serve was a rich and deep green. Unlike the more subtle Oolong flavour, the matcha soft serve was hard hitting. Each spoonful of the ice cream was like a punch of matcha, with a slight bitter aftertaste. It wasn’t too milky or sweet, just right to balance out the matcha. Will definitely satisfy matcha-holics, but won’t be the sweet treat you’re looking for if you don’t appreciate matcha! I’d rate this as a matcha level 4 against nocturne no. 5’s six matcha intensities - still ok to finish the whole ice cream by yourself without having the bitterness get to you! It’s also not too sweet, so all of us enjoyed this very much. The soft serve holds up quite well, and didn’t melt into a gooey mess. The butter biscuit stuck into the soft serve wasn’t particularly nice as it wasn’t as soft or fragrant as the Japanese butter biscuits we were used to, but it served its purpose as decoration quite well and didn’t get soggy despite prolonged exposure to the soft serve.

With Burpple Beyond, this set is extremely worth it :)
