What to Order
Matcha Latte Tasting Experience
A guided tasting that allows you to explore different matcha varieties, often served with oat milk, and learn about preparation techniques.
"My partner and I got to try two matchas and a hojicha, plus an extra matcha at the end—which we definitely didn’t mind. Everything was served with oat milk by default, which we really appreciated since we don’t consume dairy."
Savannah
Rare Tea Tasting Experience
An immersive session to discover unique and high-quality loose leaf teas, focusing on their processing and proper brewing methods.
"We have done both the premium matcha latte tasting and the rare tea tasting. Both of which experiences have been exceptional. As a big tea lover I loved learning about how the tea is processed ans how to make it properly."
Sabrina
Hojicha Latte
A deeply roasted green tea latte, offering nutty and creamy notes with a distinct finish.
"Next-level matcha & hojicha tasting. Nutty, creamy matcha with subtle sweetness, and a deep roasted hojicha finish. 10/10 tea experience."
Han Phung
Matcha Velvet 7 Latte
A premium, concentrated matcha latte from an exclusive line, known for its special and distinct flavor profile.
"The two matcha lattes I tried, from their exclusive Matcha Velvet 7 line, were really special. The lattes from this special line were $15 as opposed to their "regular" $12 matcha lattes, but I actually felt like I was tasting something very special that made it worth the high price."
Dana Sullivan
Loose Leaf Teas (e.g., Oriental Beauty, Old Grove Oolongs, Ancient Tree Pu-ers)
A diverse selection of well-sourced teas from various regions, available for purchase to enjoy at home.
"as far as loose leaf goes: oriental beauty was a stand out for me, as well as some old grove oolongs and ancient tree pu-ers. i also tried a really unique yellow tea that i can’t recall the name of."
