"Tea Master is the OG of LA’s matcha scene—it drew lines long before matcha lattes and tonics took over our Instagram feeds. The wood-paneled tea shop in Little Tokyo has a pared-down menu of just a few items. Most people go for the matcha soft serve, the preferred dessert of the post-Sushi Gen crowd, but the drinks are where their craft really shines. Everything is whisked fresh, which means you’ll grab a number and wait (sometimes a while), but it’s worth it for the matcha oat latte, which is smooth, balanced, and gently sweetened with honey." - Cathy Park
