Ellavated: Matcha Madness

Ella Rodriguez, Social Media Manager
September 29, 2025

The Raider Voice vlogger Ella Rodriguez puts Miami matchas to the test by having students taste a variety of matcha drinks and vote on their favorites. Students lined up outside the Newspaper classroom, Room 7-106, on Sept. 19 during office hours to try some matcha from six popular venues. The drink order was iced matcha with oat milk and vanilla, from Starbuck’s, Navi, Basquet, Ikonik Coffee, Maman, and Pura Vida.Β  The winner, with an overwhelming amount of votes, was IKONIK COFFEE!! πŸŽ‰πŸ΅πŸŽ‰
