Matcha Hobart

Matcha in Hobart, whisked at Salamanca Tea Bar

 

Iced matcha latte at A Moment of Tea in Hobart

Iced matcha latte at the tea bar in Woobys Lane.

What makes it different

Two matcha lanes

The latte drinks use Shizuoka matcha chosen to hold its tea character with milk. The pure bowls use Uji ceremonial matcha, where the powder, water and foam are the whole drink.

Made after you order

Each serve starts with powder in a bowl, warm water and a bamboo whisk. The matcha is opened, measured and whisked before milk, ice or strawberry puree enters the cup.

A tea bar, not a cafe shortcut

The drink is quiet on purpose: tea first, milk or fruit second. If you are searching for matcha in Hobart that tastes like matcha, this is the cup to start with.

Made at the bar

Whisked, then poured

Matcha lattes start with measured matcha and a bamboo whisk. Milk, ice or strawberry comes after the tea is smooth.

Frequently asked questions

Is your matcha actually from Japan?

Yes. Our matcha drinks use Japanese matcha from Shizuoka and Uji. The lattes use Shizuoka matcha selected for milk drinks, and the pure matcha bowls use Uji ceremonial matcha.

Which matcha should I order first?

Start with the matcha latte if you want something soft and milky. Choose strawberry matcha if you like fruit and tea together. Choose Hijiri-no-Sato if you want your first bowl of straight Uji matcha.

Is matcha bitter?

We whisk the matcha first, so the tea stays smooth rather than powdery. Matcha lattes are balanced with milk and vanilla syrup. Pure matcha bowls are unsweetened; they can taste a little bitter if you are new to straight matcha, but the umami and natural sweet finish are clearer.

Do you serve iced matcha all year?

Yes. Ask for hot or iced when you order.

Can I get matcha to take away?

Yes. Matcha lattes and strawberry matcha can be made to take away. Pure matcha is served in a tea bowl and is for drinking in the tea bar only.

Does matcha contain caffeine?

Yes. Matcha is green tea powder and is naturally higher in caffeine. If you are caffeine-sensitive, try hojicha instead; our hojicha latte has relatively lower caffeine and can be served hot or iced.
