"Northeast Tea House is the only shop in Minnesota, and possibly the country, to mill its own matcha powder using a stone mill imported from Japan. The process is mesmerizing, as is the shop itself. Owner Simon Perish recently transformed a former coffee shop into a peaceful, inviting oasis in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis. No lattes here, just the best sourced matcha whisked into elegant bowls and sipped slowly and mindfully." - Alex Lodner
