Tasting Matcha for the First Time

 Guess what guys – I tried Matcha! I heard the matcha trend was spreading like wildfire, and I wanted to see what this green drink had to offer. First off, I heard a mix of good and bad things about Matcha – some say it’s something to get into and some say it’s absolutely disgusting!  When I went to Starbucks I ordered the iced version of the drink. I made sure to shake it before I tasted it because some drinks have sweeter at the bottom. Overall, the drink looked promising because it kind of looked like a green Chai latte, however it tasted like watered down black tea. I was expecting more of a sweet taste, but it was the opposite of what I expected. I couldn’t finish the drink because it was so plain and honestly, I would rather drink plain water. Bottom line, I would rate it a 4/10.

BLEACH WORKED!!! Last time I posted the results from my experiment on which detergent works best to remove tough stains (red wine, ink, and grease.) None of the detergents fully removed all of the stains. Even though the detergents were able to remove the grease, the ink and red wine were still superior. Since bleach is known to get out some of the hardest stains and messes, I added bleach to see if it would remove the stains.  So, I used it on the previous shirts and put it on the remaining red wine and ink stains. But, just for fun, I wanted to know what would happen if you put it on a regular shirt. So, I waited a day for the stuff to marinate and when we came back, the bleach had removed the ink and the red wine out! Also, when I saw the red shirt, it had taken the color out of the shirt! So, as a result if you ever spill red wine or ink on your clothes, bleach will remove it but just be careful not to let it splash on your clothes, or it could ruin them.

Observation

The stains on my shirt remain even after washing with detergent, which didn’t clean them very well.

Question

Which detergents can get the stains out the best?

Hypothesis

I thought “All,” one of the detergents, would work best because it was featured on a video highlighting the top cleanest detergents.

Materials

•  3 white shirts
•  3 pods (1 Tide, 1 All, and 1 Great Value)
•  3 Tablespoons of grease [1 tablespoon oil /grease for each shirt)
• ¾ cup of wine (¼ cup of red wine for each shirt
• one ink pen

Procedure

First, we researched the three toughest stains to get out of clothes, which were: grease, red wine, ink, and blood. For legal reasons we only used three out of the four because we can’t legally obtain blood.  Next, we used three white T-shirts to test the red wine, ink, and grease. Then we used 3 pod detergents, Tide, All, and Great Value.

Results

Detergent	Grease	Red Wine	Ink
Tide	ü	X	X
All	ü	X	X
Great Value	ü	X	X

All removed the grease but failed to remove the other stains.

Great Value cleaned the grease and some red wine, but not the ink.

 Tide removed grease; the red wine faded slightly, but the ink stain remained.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Tide removed the most stains. Great Value was second to remove the stains, and All was last.
