Comments:

  • Instagrammer’s spot with an aesthetic and unique bottle and packaging of their matcha goods. They even wash out your bottle when you’re finished and give it to you in a cute plastic tote.

  • Options to choose/add other flavours, like black sesame & sakura, if you’re not a diehard matcha worshipper.

  • The No. 2 Green Tea drink was pretty standard, but the matcha panna cotta was unique. The gelatin cream was set well.
