Sopha Dophas Matcha Drink Slammed as Feral

Sopha Dopha's new Matcha drink has been slammed online only hours after it hit the shelves.

The ice beverage is a collaboration between the 22-year-old social media star, real name Sophia Begg, and wellness brand Tropeaka.

TikTokker Danib1023 let her thoughts be known on Thursday when she shared a clip  of her and her female friends trying the flavoured beverage. 

'That's so terrible,' complained one taste tester, before another labelled it 'so bad'.

'That's feral,' commented another of the drop, which is pitched as 'Japanese Matcha in a smooth and creamy oak milk latte.'

While one more said it reminded her of 'Play-Doh'.

The video was captioned, 'Not good at all,' and has since been viewed by 704.5K users. 

Meanwhile, ElitentitledAU also posted their verdict on the same platform, captioning their clip, 'We tried the viral Sopha Dopha matcha cans, and this is our honest review…'

Jess Lima, the director of the digital marketing brand, was joined by the company's social media manager, Amelia Duff, for the taste test, which did not go well for Sopha Dopha.

'I feel like I'm tasting water after something accidentally fell into it,' said Jess. 

After failing to be impressed, the pair tried the strawberry-flavoured Matcha with disappointing results.

'I can't even rate it,' Jess continued laughing.

After declaring that they 'loved' Sopha, who has 1.4 million followers, the pair implored viewers to 'try' the beverage.

The review received dozens of comments from followers who threw shade on the new product as a 'milk drink', as opposed to matcha – which is known as a healthy alternative to tea and coffee.

'I love Soph, but honestly, these should be called oat milk drinks, not matcha in the slightest,' complained one follower, while another agreed: 'It doesn’t even taste like matcha.'

However, there were fans of the new drink.

'The best matcha ever ❤️,' wrote one fan on Instagram.

'Chef kiss so good,' added another. 

'I wasn’t sure about the white chocolate but I’m actually now a convert!' commented a third.  

The product was launched on Thursday, with the drink advertised as being available in 7–Eleven stores across Australia. 

Originating in Japan, Matcha is a green tea made from the Camellia Sinensis plant, which is then ground into a fine powder.

It is now a popular beverage across the globe, boosted by the wellness trend.
