After coming back from Japan i've been on a matcha kick. While it is getting easier to find places that offer matcha drinks, it's still difficult to find places that offer good matcha. I was quite excited to see a place that solely offers matcha and its relatively close to home. So one weekend morning my friend (who only drinks tea) went to check it out. Because we went right at opening, it was empty, so we easily found a spot. As it was our first time, we quickly learned that you order on a touch screen by the front door. I felt that pricing is high (+tax+tip), especially after coming back from Japan.
Because it was a cold morning, i decided on a hot matcha latte, regular milk, no sugar. Colour of the matcha latte was a nice green, and taste was decently strong/flavourful, but it felt like it was missing something. I think though it's partly because I prefer cold matcha drinks over hot. So i'll have to make a trip back again when it's warmer to order a cold matcha latte, and maybe with some matcha icecream on top. read more
