Junbi Matcha & Tea - Seattle

Have gone to a few pop-ups and recently went to Mock Day for free drinks. The staff is always super nice!! I really liked their banana salted-caramel matcha from the Likelihood pop-up :)

Got the matcha cold brew with guava! Super yummy:) Also grabbed the mango one for my friend (the self-proclaimed matcha connoisseur) and she gave it top tier status

I first tried Junbi in Honolulu, so I am excited that they’ve opened a store front here in Seattle! Went in today for their soft opening and got the guava matcha cold brew, which was quite refreshing. The cashier was kind and had great customer service. I will be back whenever I’m in the Capitol Hill area!

If you are looking for a premium matcha drinks this is the place to be! We went during their soft opening yesterday and he (Joe i think his name was) recommended his favorite drink which is mango matcha cold brew and it didn’t disappoint. I love it 💕 its so good 10/10. The drink was really refreshing and the mango tasted fresh like out of fresh mango fruit (not mango flavor from a powder if know you what i mean). Also service is phenomenal and all the staffs are very friendly, welcoming and the vibe is fire 🔥 definitely recommend this matcha place!! They offer a variety of drinks from non-caffeinated to caffeinated drinks of your choice. Check them out guys you won’t disappoint. Follow them instagram as well @junbiseattle

I can’t wait for them to fully open up. My friends and I stopped by during their Mock Opening Day after pickleball and it was just what we needed as a refresher afterwards. Everyone is so personable, kind, and full of energy. We tried four different drinks: Blueberry Matcha Cold Brew (8/10), Strawberry Jasmine Tea (9.5/10), Strawberry Matcha Oat Latte (8/10), and their Mango Refresher (8.5/10). Everything was so refreshing. The matcha was super great quality. I think our only minor thing was we felt that the Jasmine tea was steeped a little too long so it took on a slightly bitter taste, but even then, it was still my personal favorite drink of the day. They’re conveniently located just off Broadway which will make them an easy go to for days at Cal Anderson.

Expected more from the matcha but it was bitter and dry and the only thing saving it was the mango puree at the bottom. I ordered 4 items: the mango matcha, jasmine milk tea, strawberry refresher, and mango refresher. To say that all were disappointing is an understatement. The matcha is bitter and grainy and for a premium matcha spot, they don't even hand whisk anything. After sipping, it left a dry and astringent after taste. The jasmine milk tea was fragrant but lacked any sweetness (they do not have an ice or sweetness level for customers to see). The refreshers were also very mild in taste and while I was expecting something more tart and refreshing, the syrups they used made it taste more like sugar water. Not worth the wait.

Stopped by today for their mock event before their soft opening. Upon arrival I was greeted by one of the owners who was cheerful and personable. I’ve been to the Junbi location in Waikiki before and loved the matcha. Today my group got the strawberry matcha latte, mango matcha latte and cold brew matcha and it tasted just like I remebeeed in Waikiki! Super happy that we have a Junbi in Seattle! I will be back again and again!

Stumbled upon their soft opening and tried the matcha cold brew guava (less sweet regular ice) great guava flavor (not too sweet) super refreshing with a nice hint of matcha. Had to keep from drinking too fast. Can’t wait to see the rest of the space once it’s finished!
