The latest on the Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial
Update: Date: 6 min ago Title: The judge is on the bench Content: Judge Arun Subramanian is on the bench, and testimony is expected to resume soon. Update: Date: 23 min ago Title: How Wednesday's delay could impact the trial timeline Content: The trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs was adjourned for the day Wednesday after one of the jurors called in sick — a move that potentially throws a major wrench in the scheduling of the trial. Judge Arun Subramanian said he believes the juror's absence was a one-day issue but, regardless, it does throw off the court's tight schedule. Subramanian has said since the start of the trial that he wants this to be done by July 4. Prosecutors were expected to rest their case today, but with Wednesday's delay, they likely won't rest until sometime on Monday. Remember: Court was closed Thursday for the Juneteenth holiday, and today is a pre-scheduled half-day, with court running from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. ET. The defense has said they expect to use between two and five trial days to make their case, and closing arguments will take additional time. All of those steps need to happen before the jury begins deliberating — which makes for a tight schedule if we're aiming for a verdict before July 4.

The Maturing of Matcha: The New (Old) Wave of Matcha Sweeping the Country
Green is in: Matcha has become ubiquitous among the fashion set, millennials, and Gen Z—even my boomer mom is obsessed—with nearly every cafe offering it alongside coffee, and plenty of cafes dedicated solely to matcha. From national matcha-devoted chains like Cha Cha Matcha, Matcha Café Maiko, and Kyo Matcha, to nearly every coffee shop from Starbucks to Blue Bottle to even Dunkin' Donuts offering matcha lattes, it's safe to say matcha is firmly entrenched in the zeitgeist. Matcha is a vibrant green tea drink born in China and Japan thousands of years ago. It's made from grinding green tea leaves—which can be varying grades of quality—into a fine powder, which is then whisked with hot water to create a thick, frothy liquid. In many modern cafes around the world, it's combined with milk or an alternative milk to create a latte, and this is typically what you'll find in most cafes serving matcha in the U.S. But are you getting an authentic matcha at Dunkin' Donuts? Definitely not (it's green tea powder mixed with 32 grams of sugar, milk, and fruit pectin, according to their website). Even at most matcha-devoted places, your drink will likely be sweetened and watered down as a way to help cover up the bitter taste of lower-grade matcha. Over the last decade, in most of the U.S., matcha has become so far removed from its roots that it has become a coffee alternative at best and a TikTok trend at worst. And while these drinks might be tasty, if you're looking for authentic, unadulterated matcha, it has been harder to find in the U.S.—until now. While chains like Cha Cha Matcha, which opened in New York City in 2016 and has expanded to seven New York City and four Los Angeles locations, show no signs of slowing down, there has been a recent spate of more authentic matcha cafes utilizing extremely high-quality matcha unadulterated by sugar and other mix-ins. These boutique shops typically partner with a specific farm in Japan or Korea for sourcing, as opposed to the Japanese corporate distributors that the larger chains use. But what exactly is the difference between a matcha latte from Starbucks and a so-called authentic matcha? We checked in with Darla Murray, the co-founder of Make, a premium matcha brand selling hand-selected tea direct to consumers.
