MatchaMatch: Finding Good Matcha
I’m unreasonably into matcha. I’ve tried it at dozens of cafes across multiple cities and the quality variance is staggering. Some places use ceremonial-grade matcha whisked properly. Others dump commodity powder into steamed milk and charge $7. The problem is you can’t tell which is which before you order. Google Maps rates businesses, not matcha. A five-star review that says “great vibes, love the ambiance” tells you nothing about what’s in the cup.
MatchaMatch is a community review app for matcha at local cafes. You can browse reviews and see what’s nearby without an account. Sign in and you can leave matcha-specific reviews with the details that actually matter for matcha quality. It’s a website you add to your home screen.
Not every project needs to solve a critical problem. This one exists because I like matcha and got annoyed that I couldn’t find good information about it. I built DealCred for a similar reason, applied to real estate deals.
