Princess Andre, 19, visited the viral spot Nikos in Brighton and ordered every matcha drink on the menu, giving her brutally honest verdict on each one. Her candid reactions, shared in a TikTok video, drew praise from viewers who appreciated her "realness" and "honesty."
Matcha Trend and Princess's Order
Matcha has grown in popularity in recent years due to its aesthetic appeal and potential health benefits. According to Healthline, matcha is a type of green tea that may support heart health and weight management due to its antioxidant content, though moderation is advised because of its caffeine and other compounds.
Princess said she "loves" matcha but admitted she may have ordered too much. She reassured her audience that none of it would go to waste, as her crew would help try the drinks.
Her order included a strawberry Sprite, a strawberry matcha, a pistachio cream matcha, an ube vanilla cream matcha, a coconut cream matcha, and a mango matcha.
Princess's Verdicts on Each Drink
Trying the first drink without knowing which it was, she said it "tastes exactly like a sugar cane." The strawberry matcha, however, prompted a shudder: "Nah, that's not for me at all, I'm sorry," she exclaimed, pushing it away. The strawberry syrup in such drinks is often very sweet and strong.
The mango matcha's "texture of the mango caught" her "off guard a little bit," and despite her love for mango, she couldn't get past the texture. The ube vanilla cream matcha tasted "exactly like tapioca balls," which she noted is great for fans of sweet things.
By the time she tried the strawberry Sprite matcha, she was getting full after eating pasta, chips, and four matchas. She was intrigued by its "sparkly" nature, though her camerawoman corrected her to "sparkling." She said she liked it.
The final drink tasted "familiar," and her camerawoman Zoe, who tried it, said it tasted "like white chocolate." Princess captioned the video saying she was "matcha'd out" but hoped she'd influenced people to try Nikos's matcha.
Fan Reactions and Upcoming Launch
In the comments, fans praised her honesty. One wrote: "I love the realness of everything Princess does. She told the truth about every drink; that’s what I love about her: her honesty and raw reality." Another noted: "I love how she does the review in front of the women as well; she wasn’t rating all the drinks a 10/10 in front of them too! Lol." A third said: "Matchas are the way forward. Princess, you are becoming more and more confident. Well done girl."
Looking ahead, Princess is set to launch her own makeup line on November 17, featuring lip combos, bronzer duos with cream and powder products, and mascara. In TikTok clips showcasing her products, fans have expressed excitement to get their hands on them.
