What visitors say

★★★★★

“As a huge matcha lover who has tried matcha in countless places, I can honestly say this was one of the best I’ve ever had. The matcha was prepared with such care and attention to detail, you can immediately tell they use real ceremonial-grade matcha of exceptional quality. It was smooth, vibrant, perfectly balanced, and made exactly as matcha should be. I’m usually very picky when it comes to matcha because so many places get it wrong, but this one completely exceeded my expectations. In fact, after finishing my first one, I immediately ordered a second because it was just that good! I was genuinely shocked. What impressed me even more was the price. For the quality you’re getting, it’s incredibly reasonable. I’ve paid much more for matcha that wasn’t nearly as good. Finding authentic ceremonial-grade matcha prepared at this level for that price is honestly rare. The service was equally amazing. You can tell they truly care about what they do. Every drink is made with attention and precision, and everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. I honestly have nothing but good things to say about this place. If you’re a matcha lover, do yourself a favor and visit. I couldn’t recommend it more highly, and I would go back to Alicante just for it!🤌”
