Secret Menu - Matcha Brownie
I love Reddit and all the creativity from it. Nine years ago, under r/writingprompt, there was a request to write a short story using puns. This morning, I was reading all the entertaining stories and decided to ask AI to write a punny story about coffee and matcha (see below). Surprisingly, this story is a perfect cover to talk about our secret menu - Matcha Brownie. Please enjoy all the puns and if you read this post, you can order Matcha Brownie in any Blue Hummingbird locations.

Brewed Together
In the town of Brewville, there were two rival cafés: "The Daily Grind," known for its world-class coffee, and "Matcha Made in Heaven," famous for its exquisite matcha. The owners, Joe and Mat, were always in a latte competition, trying to espresso themselves better than the other.
Joe, the owner of "The Daily Grind," believed that life without coffee was depresso. His motto was, "Stay grounded and keep brewing." He brewed his coffee with such passion that people said he had a latte talent.
Mat, on the other hand, thought matcha was all the tea in China. His café, "Matcha Made in Heaven," was a green paradise. Mat would always say, "A matcha a day keeps the worries away," and his customers couldn't agree more. They thought his matcha was unbe-leaf-able.
One sunny morning, a big food festival was announced in Brewville. "The Battle of Brews" it was called, and it stirred up quite the buzz. Joe and Mat saw it as the perfect opportunity to prove whose brew was the best. They were both steamed up and ready to go.
The day of the festival arrived, and Brewville was brewing with excitement. Joe was all set to give it his best shot. He brewed his coffee with extra care, telling himself, "Espresso yourself, Joe!" Meanwhile, Mat was whisking his matcha, whispering, "It’s time to show them what you’re steeped of!"
The air was filled with the aroma of fresh coffee and the earthy scent of matcha. People were milling around, sipping on Joe's rich coffee and Mat's smooth matcha. It was a pour decision to choose between the two.
After much deliberation, the judges announced a tie. They couldn't decide between Joe's coffee, which was a real eye-opener, and Mat's matcha, which was tea-riffic. The crowd was split, some thought it was the right call, others thought the judges couldn't handle the roast.
In a surprising turn of events, Joe and Mat decided to collaborate. They created a new drink, "The Matcha Mocha," combining the best of both worlds. This new creation was a frothy mix of strong coffee and rich matcha, topped with a sprinkle of cocoa. It was a match(a) made in Brewville.
Their new venture, "Brewed Together," became the town's hotspot. Joe and Mat realized that sometimes, you need to stir things up to find the perfect blend. Their customers were overjoyed, often saying, "This place is brew-tiful!"
And so, Joe and Mat learned that life is like a cup of coffee or matcha – best when shared. They lived brew-fully ever after, proving that when it comes to brews, the more, the merrier. The end.
