Most matcha, if not all matcha, in Austin is terrible, dull, gritty, and/or astringent. This one is pretty good.
Hand whisked with traditional tools, this matcha might be a bit pricey but it's worth it.
Some notable things I liked:
- the hojicha is surprisingly better than their matcha, but their matcha is still good. I normally never prefer hojicha so it surprised me a lot.
- when I asked for less sweetness, it actually was less sweet. You would think that isn't surprising, but so many places still drown it in sugar. I appreciate that it's not like that here.
- the wait was almost an hour for one of the first weekends they opened. It's like that for everything in Austin now though
- it is so hot in there lol
- the service is mindful and whoever wrote on our labels that day has gorgeous handwriting?????
Overall the best matcha place in Austin. Don't skip, but it would be good if this place had a more permanent situation so we can look forward to a new wave of tea in Austin.
