"New York matcha specialist Kettl made its West Coast debut in Los Feliz; founded by Zach Mangan in 2020, the shop imports its own teas from Japan and serves multiple types of matcha alongside hojicha, mugicha (barley tea), and more. For the Los Feliz location Mangan tapped ice creamery August Novelties (started by former Noma pastry chef Malcolm Livingston II) to serve plant-based ice cream bars, and Kettl’s teas have already appeared around the city at restaurants and coffee shops including Tsubaki and Mandarin Coffee Shop." - Mona Holmes
