The matcha was okay—I’ve had better. I waited about 15 minutes for one matcha tea, even though there were around five employees working, which seemed more than enough for the number of customers. When I asked if my order had been forgotten, the staff seemed annoyed and were complaining among themselves. I don’t recommend.

Incredible matcha, it is very strong, although I never drink caffeine so may be more sensitive. Only downside was finding a seat.

Tea was excellent! In fact all the products I tasted were of high quality and presentation. Thank you Kyle, Jume, Annette and, Mary Elise! Y'all are soo sweet and kind. Take care ❤️🙏🏽

One of my favorite matcha cafés in New York City. Staff is always friendly and matcha is always top tier. It’s pretty crowded on weekends so I usually just take my matcha to go. I also took their matcha latte making class and the instructor was very knowledgeable and it was a great course. I’d love to take another one of their classes!

Nice matcha great

The real deal. Matcha and teas of various qualities. You can reserve a session to see matcha prepared and served in various ways. Hot or cold, plain or latte. Have a nice cup of tea here.

My friends and I did the tea tasting and it was such a treat. Otis was very knowledgeable and hospitable.

Great tea but horrible customer service. Placed a large order of tea that then went on sale a couple days later. They refused to price adjust. I've been buying from them for years but will go elsewhere. They clearly don't understand the lifetime value of devoted customers.
Kettl certainly sets the standard, easily establishing itself as a top source for exceptional matcha quality.
Tried the Hukuju from Yame, a blend I found to be quite bold and aromatic. Its profile offered a clear umami depth, reminiscent of fresh seaweed? I look forward to returning soon to compare their full range of matcha offerings in a tasting

Kyle made exceptional tea sampler for us particularly black Japanese tea, which included Matcha, never thought that I would love Matcha as much as I did here. He made it fun and educated us about the various Teas in great detail. Kyle knows his stuff and was very accommodating with our last-minute reservation.

We walked in and fortunately were able to get a seat for their tea tasting which is usually by reservation. Kyle was a great host and explained all the teas with beautiful descriptions that really set the mood. It was a wonderful and cozy experience and the teas were delicious. It was my birthday and they even brought me a special dessert that was sooo tasty! It was such a good way to spend the afternoon. Thank you, Kyle! You're the best! I hope you get to Japan soon! Manifesting for you 💖

First time here, and ordered the matcha latte with oatmeal. I chose the middle one, Suiteki, and it was nice and creamy. I did add a little bit of honey syrup to sweeten it a bit, as that is how I like it. Will def return when in the area to try the other drinks, the soba buckwheat sounds really interesting and I haven't seen that elsewhere.

I’ve tried many matcha places in NYC, but this one tasted very watery and grassy — almost like plain green water. The shop itself is nice, but I probably wouldn’t come back for the matcha.
