Phillip's Hilarious Reaction to Trying Matcha For the First Time | This Morning

You may well have seen it in your local coffee shop or splashed over social media but with its bright green colouring and distinctive grassy flavour, matcha isn't your average cuppa. So, what exactly is matcha, is it any healthier than regular green tea, and should you be drinking it? Liz Earle joins us to explain all.

Love the fact Phillip is more traumatized by matcha than the hot chip challenge love that 🤣

[@annehepburn8041]

Easily traumatized isn't he?

[@JuliHortal]

Comments on!!! What a beautiful day to be alive

[@kintxugii]

I’m sorry but that lady did such a horrible job at the Matcha stuff 😭😭😭 Wrong powder and wrong measurements 😭😭😭 I feel bad for Phillip. He probably has PTSD now 🤣

[@biancavoorman2328]

🤣

[@hlewis5217]

Why can’t they have a proper Japanese presenter who knows what they’re doing? What an embarrassment.

[@AntTonyLOLKID]

They just need a barista, don't even need a proper Japanese presenter. At least in Australia, cuz most coffee shops have matcha lattes. But its so simplw to make, my mother can make it at home, without all those things. She just uses a spoon and just heats milk in the microwave. Still tastes like the ones at a coffee shop as well.

[@bunimaheart95]

​@@AntTonyLOLKID yea your mom does the right thing, dumb people be buying whole sets of equipment for a literal tea.

[@loyan9029]

Philip’s face = Priceless 😂😂😂

[@emmanuelmartinez257]

I cant believe that they allowed comments in this video. Good job this morning! EDIT: Thanks for the likes!

[@Thomas-kp8mo]

I think its a new thing as of last week.

[@emmanuelmartinez257]

@@Thomas-kp8mo well I've just noticed in this video so I don't know when they started to have the comment section on again but thanks for the info!

[@nopandakit8051]

Love that Liz just ignored Philip's distress! Soldier on Liz.

[@kovagold4321]

Also I reckon Rochelle and Philip were given culinary matcha which has a more potent flavour as opposed to ceremonial matcha.

[@Mysteriuminiquitatis1998]

She said she doesn’t like tea or coffee but…matcha is tea

[@cheekyllamacreations]

Holly should have been there, it would’ve been even more hilarious!!! 😂😂😂

[@Jake-eg8wc]

Where is Holly??

[@marvinthemonster7524]

No. Holly overreacts to everything and acts like a toddler.

[@cheekyllamacreations]

@@marvinthemonster7524 I think she’s fun. I live in Australia and the TV hosts are nowhere near as funny as UK hosts

[@leesabook4891]

So funny seeing Phillips face 😂😂 absolutely brilliant 😂

[@dappiedocious]

Omg, they used tooooo much matcha and also seemed to use a culinary one instead of drinking quality. You typically use a mini bamboo spoon for the portion. They're using like 20x the amount you're supposed to. Lol You can see them whipping what's almost a paste! No no! 😂🤣🤣

[@travelwell6049]

You’re right. I usually use a couple of teaspoons for a mug just for me. And I prefer to use coconut milk.

[@senchaholic]

Yeah, that is indeed WAY too much tea considering the amount of water they put in.

[@dappiedocious]

@@senchaholic I was laughing when I saw it cause you could see they were whipping a paste. Even a tea lover would retch upon tasting that. Lol 😅

[@Mamabearforeverlovelife]

Aha that is sooo amazingly hilarious. Yes matcha is super good for you but it takes work to find a few amazing ways to drink it. Love the reaction wow

[@taniar523]

LOL. Philip actually screamed!! 😂🤣😂

[@thulanihlatshwayo78]

Hold on, the comments are turned on!? That was hilarious, don’t think Phil liked that very much.

[@armstrongcatherine]

I cried laughing. Absolutely hilarious. Not sure I will be in a hurry to try that.

[@missmeliss4352]

Phils face 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@karissailormoon]

I drink Matcha every day, have done for years and when done properly it's delicious. How much powder did they add! 😂 No wonder they were nearly sick 🤣

[@aishabenmoussa557]

Just what I needed, thank you Phillip ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Joanhunte7752]

I love matcha 😋It's great for detoxification inside&out of your body. Also j find it helps with contispation especially if you are on regular medication that can contispate you, also great for your skin, hair, nails. I would normally have 2 cups sometimes or 1 cup a day.. Love it..❤

[@llamazarecool]

4:47 THUMBNAIL MOMENT 🤣🤣

[@katw9743]

Crying so hard right now with laughter that was hilarious...Phils face was a picture .... was laughing that much I dropped my phone xx

[@memyselfmartini2328]

Hahaha even Rochelle doesn't like that😂 "I'm going to make you a proper one" 😂 Maybe next time think twice who's the expert 😂

[@JessicaFreda62]

Haha Philip’s green tongue in the thumbnail 😂

[@umeshikau1466]

Comments on!

[@utopiasimmpin3729]

Me screaming NOOOO after seeing how much it’s going in and what’s going on.

[@sandramastrangelo7672]

Love watching the videos. Love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@bestofutkarsh]

I am loving my Heapwell Matcha latte with Oatmilk. Lush green and gorgeous.

[@jmcc1766]

I love that Phil gave a realistic reaction to matcha!

[@yasmineanushka9882]

This made ma laugh so much 😂 Phillips reaction is priceless!!

[@dappiedocious]

They need to redo this to do matcha justice. Get a proper matcha/tea ceremony expert so they can appreciate it. Lol

[@barbsmith235]

Phil face priceless lol 😂 👍 😂

[@horebeliot7090]

I think they put in a lot of matcha powder. Look how viscous the consistency is! haha. Matcha is love!

[@ellyhamilton959]

That was so hilarious I love it

[@bonitat0530]

Comments ahoy! 100% agree with Philip's assessment 😄

[@rgalonso3]

I've had matcha as a shake and I loved it!

[@justinaheadington6701]

Laughed so much 🤣

[@davidrobertson8573]

Congratulations on 2 million subs that is 1 million and 999,996 subs a head of me lol

[@betzaidasantiago7440]

I love Phillip so much 😅

[@TheOnlyIncognito]

Look at his face LMAO

[@olgan2972]

Oh my god Phil, I really love you!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@TJRacerF1]

I watched this clip THIS MORNING 😂

[@manuelcastillotaylorsversi2551]

I've tried it with yogurt and it tastes good. 👌

[@jeprcn]

I agree with Phil, once I bought a matcha cake from an Asian shop in Chinatown… it tasted like the inside of a lawnmower!

[@fringedwellermccatintyre730]

Thanks for the warning.

[@hightidemidafternoon]

what the 🤣 the lady had obviously no clue what she was doing creating a proper thick Koicha by mistake. I felt for Phil, that is not a beginner's Matcha. He'll never touch one again 😭

[@tomsdotter3228]

Phil is a riot! Love this show!

[@Reamigullas]

Matcha is a staple boba and beverage flavor in Asia :)

[@ZaZaRaZarah]

The comments are on...🥳

🎉🎉🎉🎉 I hope they do this for more vids. I like discussing with others

[@ZaZaRaZarah]

@@NyanyiC Yesss, I hope so...😇

[@dingopisscreek]

I think that's the first and last time Philip drinks that!!!

[@MadMax-kw7ln]

Absolutely hilarious 🤣 his reaction was so funny. I've always wondered what matcha tastes like, now I really have no desire! 😁

[@gloriamarshall8296]

I'm laughing so hard I'm I'm crying!

[@gan3sh_gaming]

We get to comment finally yay!!! Id like to see you drink it again when you make it better haha Try moringa leaves 100% better!

[@emmalavery6650]

[@annegreenwood3624]

This show is a better addiction than the sims

[@jo-annbastings]

Phil’s reactions and comments are hilarious!

[@officialdad7197]

Milk and honey with tea leaves the most twisted Winnie the Pooh tea party ever. What an insult to the Tea Leaf, honestly. 😁

[@ruthrussell7157]

I love it

[@harriantoncornell5405]

Haha his face

[@cecilehoare3053]

Macha butter cream icing is delicious! Macha cheese cake is awesome too!

[@kovagold4321]

This would have been a lot better if they had a Japanese native or someone with Japanese heritage to show how to do this properly.

[@breezey1643]

I wish they would let us comment on all their videos, I love seeing how much everyone enjoys them as much as I do!

[@rachelcomer817]

Love this show!! 😂💕

[@xXvioletKillerXx]

Oh boy

[@TuckerSP2011]

I asked for matcha once at Starbucks and they gave it to me (and I did not ask for sugar). To be honest to taste it like fish broth.

[@irisroldan-garcia805]

I don't know where she got that recipe, too much tea powder !!! I like matcha and I use 1 tsp per cup of tea.

[@maayanamrusi8572]

“Get me a bucket” 🤣

[@Plutobug2468]

Philip reaction 😂😂😂

[@kirstycooper6131]

yes Philip gotta love a nice strong cuppa Yorkshire tea lol xx

[@OldDudeScot]

Those doughnuts are my favourite thing ever!!

[@debbieregan8865]

So funny 😁

[@Berlynic]

Guys! You needed to pour some water or milk to it! You basically drank the foundation!!! Of course, it'd be aweful!😅😅😅😅

[@lily-may8178]

I've tried it and it tastes like lake water

[@travelwell6049]

Since when are This Morning comments left on?

[@patperno6237]

Where is Holly

[@vickigarner7331]

I've been wanting to use Matcha for ages, not sure now ha!

[@mohen2960]

I drink it every day. It’s so healthy. Tough at first but with milk and honey it’s fine.

[@lucydaniel2773]

Love this morning

It‘s 9 pm and I’m laughing so hard 🤣😭

How funny!

[@chaneltuning9929]

Everything can be used to after making any thing's can be used but why lot's of book's has manys writer instant's of one ?

[@jordankaye7432]

Philip- yeno this texture running down my tongue reminds me of oh never mind

[@yxiiu7687]

never tried it!!

[@ttran1168]

Lol 😂

[@senchaholic]

Usually it's around a teaspoon of tea for around a dl of water (or per preference of course) They overdid it with the tea. Not even the Japanese would add that much tea to that little water.

[@FunkyBazaare]

I feel your pain Philip 😞

[@cyruslee1015]

They put way too much matcha lol

[@madwisdom4929]

LOL!

[@jacquelineb4375]

I think most green food stuffs don't taste all that great...however I can force myself to down it if it will have genuine health benefits . Remember tasting wheatgrass for the first time & yes my reaction was the same as Phil's.....yuk.

[@elisa7881]

LMAO

[@butterflysashaeve5132]

Omg 😆
