Is the matcha einspänner really the signature drink?

They said it's the signature at Something About Coffee, so I picked the matcha einspänner (coffee topped with cream), and it was crazy good lol 😂 I was like, einspänner and matcha...? But no, you have to try it. It's a taste you only get once you've had it.

The bitterness of matcha meeting the cream was way better than I expected. One sip and I knew right away why it's the signature ✨
