It just depends on your taste profile. I like IPAs, warm or cold. Matcha is not bad, it falls under an acquired taste I guess. I love matcha ice cream. But as I mentioned I like bitter things. Like pork tastes too sweet for me.
Objectively speaking it does have a much stronger taste than regular green tea. But there many things with strong flavors like coffee and whiskey that has a certain audience.
It's a special form of green tea that is grown in the shade to force it to create extra chlorophyll. This makes it extra bright and vibrant in color. You then grind the entire leaf into a powder and that is mixed with water to make tea.
Consider yourself lucky that you haven't had thick green tea. It is super concentrated, a thick sludge, and even know some people who do tea ceremony in Japan who have trouble drinking it.

I am not sure if your opinion is thaaaat unpopular.
Yeah just from a cursory google it seems pretty controversial
People only like matcha because it looks nice. You cannot convince me that anyone likes the flavour of that stuff
I think it's like coffee or beer, you hatedrink it until the Stockholm syndrome kicks in
I genuinely love the taste, but I'm a big fan of bitter flavours in general
Yeah same
This is me. I purposefully oversteep teas.

It's an acquired taste
Probably only likes boring flavors that don't taste like batteries.
Yeah, no, you're right it's mostly just OK at best. Just hyped.
I was pleasantly surprised by a matcha KitKat.
No idea what that even is

Thank you
Green. It's just green.
Yeah kind of right.
It really just tastes of chlorophyll.

Is the unpopular opinion that taste is objective? Everyone likes and dislikes different things
Absolutely agree.
Also this isn't an opinion. This is preference.
Really need to learn the difference.
