matcha!

go ahead and say it, starbucks is the wal-mart of the coffee world steamrolling over competition and turning up on every corner of the globe with the same green and beige non-descript decor. superette hates to advocate for such atrocious mass marketing, but damn, this one may just be worth the four bucks at "fourbucks."



if you have not tried a green tea frappuccino, you have not lived. when ann and dabney were in japan last spring, they discovered these frothy concoctions and could not wait for them to make their american debut. (while on a layover in nagoya earlier this year, they ran to the airport fourbucks just for a quick icy treat.) walking down newbury street last week, they had their first domestic sighting and immediately changed directions to the closest fourbucks. superette fully expects green-laced whipped cream mustaches to be the hip look this summer.
