    earl grey matcha and hojicha
    Katherine T.

    this was one of two cafes my boyfriend and i went to while visiting seattle and it did not disappoint!! we ended up going twice in the three days we stayed because it was that good inside is quite small but very cute. they have two tables and then seating at the bar where you can watch the drinks being whisked! they also have two ordering kiosks inside which i liked! staff was also always super kind. we got the hojicha with added cream top and the earl grey matcha and both were so yummy. i would definitely recommend if you're looking for a good cafe!

    A very solid cafe with a gorgeous interior in service of an authentic Japanese experience. You can tell that they pride themselves on quality drinks as the baristas really took care in making each drink. The taste was amazing. The matcha tasted fresh and earthy which is unlike a lot of other spots that just use the cheap manufactured powder. I will be back to try the other drinks definitely.

    I enjoyed my recent trip to Taz Matcha. I tried their Earl Gray Matcha Latte with oat milk. I chose the Chiran Harvest matcha, which had a more earthy and robust flavor that stood out in a good way, and it paired well with the early grey. This was a unique and well-balanced latte, and my friends enjoyed it in their seating area where you take off your shoes and kneel and/or sit down, more similar to some restaurants and cafes in Japan. This is a spot I would love to come back to for high-quality matcha!

    Amazingly tasty earl grey matcha that has such a strong tea taste that compliments the matcha well! There was nice seating inside to lounge and meet new faces. Service was nice and they whisk the matcha in front of you.

    Lighting is dim, calming, and romantic

    Amazing. I was extremely impressed with the high quality matcha. The interior is inviting, cozy, serene, and simply beautiful. Loved the modern Tatami seating. I stopped around 11am on a weekday and I was the only one in there. Once I left more people started stopping by. Tablet ordering style but staff immediately welcomed me in and approached me asked if I needed help or had any questions which was nice. I ordered an iced Strawberry Matcha with no added sweetness for my man and I chose the iced Earl Grey Matcha for myself. The matcha was high quality and soooo delicious! I tried the Strawberry Matcha and stirred it a bit more thoroughly for my boyfriend and it was super yummy! He was very pleased and agreed it was probably the best Strawberry Matcha he has had. My Earl Grey Matcha was definitely the best Earl grey Matcha I've tried compared to other cafes. The Earl Grey flavor was sweet but not too sweet and amazing flavor that paired perfectly with the smooth high quality matcha. I drank my beverage fast because it was so good but tried to be slow so I could really savor the flavor it was so dang delicious!!! The interior had dim, romantic, and calming lighting. Beautiful bar seating and modern Tatami seating. The painting on the wall was beautiful and my favorite part of the interior. The drinks are on the pricier side but definitely high quality as mentioned many times and very very yummy. I would definitely return and recommend!! Super impressed with the Earl Grey Matcha :)

    TAZ is hands down one of my favorite matcha spots in Seattle. As someone coming from the bay/tried uji matcha in japan , TAZ offers some solid ceremonial grade matcha. Both the strawberry and earl grey matcha with oat milk we ordered were perfectly creamy and rich in matcha flavor. You can tell they use high quality matcha since they hand whisk each drink and there are many flavor options you can customize for your drink. Very traditional Japanese ambiance but seating and parking is limited as it is in downtown Seattle. I do have to say price is a bit expensive at around $9-10/cup but very well worth it given rising costs+ comparable to other cafe drinks in the area. I get this as a treat every so often. Servers are very friendly and great at explaining menu items and you can purchase matcha bowls, whisks and matcha powders in store as well. Must visit if you are a matcha connoisseur like me

    Taz Matcha is THAT spot Tried their strawberry & mango matcha and both were unreal--fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet (the way it should be). The staff was so warm and welcoming, and the space? Straight out of Japan

    I believe the interior is japandi style, creating a minimalist and warm environment. Given that we went on a weekend, it was a bit overwhelming inside since it was crowded and small. Despite that, service was relatively quick. There are also two bathrooms, no code or key needed. Strawberry Matcha w/extra matcha and less sweet (~$10) - 4/5 I got the Chiran matcha which was earthy and creamy. The strawberry puree was slightly sweet and could have been tarter. I wish I got extra strawberry puree because before I knew it, only the matcha was left. Earl Grey Matcha - 5/5 Great balance and ratio of earl grey-matcha-and milk! The earl grey was subtle, not overpowering the matcha. If I had to choose between the earl grey and strawberry I would get the earl grey! Quality matcha, but would only come here if I was in the area. Great drinks, but not AMAZING!

    Earl Grey Matcha
    Dai D.

    To know me is to know I love matcha, so I always make it a point to make a matcha stop when visiting a new city. This cafe specializes in ceremonial-grade matcha & kept popping up when I searched for the best matcha in Seattle, so naturally I had to find out why. I visited on a Sunday morning. They open at 10 a.m. on Sundays & by the time I arrived around 10:40 a.m. there was already a short line out the door. Thankfully, it moved pretty quickly. I'm truly not used to chilly weather anymore (desert-living), so I was grateful not to have to wait out in the cold for too long. Ordering is done through 2 tablets, and the staff were clearly busy, so I didn't get to ask any questions. I had my heart set on the banana oat matcha, but it was sold out. A tragedy. So I opted for the earl grey matcha with almond milk instead. I like that the drinks are so customizable. You can choose your matcha profile (such as earthy or floral), adjust the sweetness level & caffeine strength, swap out flavors, etc. I kept mine mostly as-is, just subbed almond milk. The drink was SO good. I love earl grey tea, but never had it in a matcha latte before. My first sip caught off guard because it was bitter, but it was delicious once I mixed it a bit. The cloud top added creaminess & overall, the matcha was a balanced blend of the 2 teas. The place is very quaint & since it was so busy, it felt crowded. Most people seem to get their drinks to go, and I just felt bunched up as I waited for the drink. There wasn't much room to stand & everyone was getting in each other's way, lol. There's seating at the bar, where you can watch the baristas prepare the matcha, and a couple tables with traditional Japanese-style seating. There are also a few cute trinkets on sale, and I imagine it can be a very calming environment when it's less crowded. WiFi is available, but I wouldn't consider this a place to hangout or work for a while. However, this is definitely a great place to grab a matcha and GO.

    Pretty quick service, can't comment on quality of it though since you order at a kiosk. Really cute decor. Matcha is great and I liked that they have different grades. Would love to try the competition grade at some point.

    Hojicha Latte with Matcha Cream Top and Matcha Strawberry Latte
    Thomas N.

    This might be my favorite matcha cafe in Seattle. I got the hojicha latte with a matcha cream top and the matcha strawberry latte. Both were incredible but the hojicha was my favorite by far. I will definitely be getting that one again. We also got super lucky because Kinokos House was doing a pop up there that day. I really love that this cafe supports local bakers by hosting events like this. We grabbed a slice of the black sesame basque cheesecake and I am not exaggerating when I say it was the best cheesecake I have ever had. The crust was perfect and the inside was so creamy and soft. Cannot recommend this place enough for both the drinks and the community vibe.

    Vanilla Iced Matcha Latte
    Jonina I.

    Would come back, it was definitely a small and cute place. Kiosk to buy your own drinks but the service was quick and the drinks were good imo! The matcha was floral-y which is what it said when ordering. It's fairly pricey but who's surprised at matcha being expensive now.

    Matcha Latte with Blueberry Foam and Earl Grey Matcha
    Geo N.

    Been hearing that Taz has the best matcha in Seattle, and although I'm not sure I agree just yet, I can confidently say that it's definitely a strong contender. I am SO glad to have finally tried it. Drinks: (5/5) They had a special blueberry foam/cream so I got that on top of a regular matcha latte with oat milk. To be honest, I was really nervous about this drink because blueberry flavors don't usually translate well outside of baked goods in my opinion. I was proven COMPLETELY wrong. My matcha had an extremely accurate blueberry flavor that paired perfectly with the earthiness of the latte itself. I assume the flavor comes from dried and processed blueberries because it looked like powder that was dusted on top of my drink. 100% recommend. My partner got the earl grey matcha, which was also good but just ok when put side-by-side to the blueberry one. We honestly wished the earl grey came through a little stronger. Service: (5/5) There were a lot of people working behind the counter when we went and they were really churning drinks out! I can't imagine how busy this place can get. They were very sweet and our drinks came out super fast.

And then we get the check and they automatically add 22%...if you are a quality establishment offering exceptional customer service, you don't need to tell me what to tip...guess you are not. And they they have the nerve to ask me if I want to tip another 18%, 20%, or 25% when I sign the check on their Toast device... I'll go out for a quality cocktail experience at Needle & Thread, The Doctor's Office, or maybe the Red Onion, lol. But I won't be coming back here ever again.

My favorite was the tart au citron-- it was sweet and tart and a perfect cocktail! My friend really loved the espresso martini-- I had a sip and it's probably one of the best in the city. Definitely worth a try and will be what we get again next time we come again!
