"Setsugekka is narrow, tranquil, and steeped in tradition under the direction of co-owner and certified Japanese tea ceremony master, Souheki Mori. Sourced from farms in Japan, the tea leaves become matcha in the store’s own stone grinder. At the matcha counter in the back, take your pick of matcha, viscosity, and preparation: straight, cappuccino-like with foam, or an affogato of milk gelato drizzled with koicha, a super thick matcha. In the summer, a cold matcha drink is made with juice scooped straight out of a watermelon or honeydew." - Caroline Shin
