rev:text	3.5 stars ... they draw of handmade Matcha latte from real matcha powder drew me in. Good service keeps this spot above other bubble tea cafe in Toronto. A great matcha latte is hard to come by in Toronto. Using the best (or even a good) grade of matcha, then knowing how to whisk & froth it, and balancing the tea with milk to maintain the vegetal taste while not being too bitter... oh the quest continues to find a good one. Icha Tea is on the south side of the old Toronto Spadina Chinatown. It's a quaint little cafe that is recessed from the street edge. It offers a little small outdoor seating in the summer but in the usual Canadian winter, you have seating inside. I have to appreciate how they redid the front to be modern with it's slate gray paint on the old building, stonework on the groun, and use of nice warm woods for their signage. It modernizes and makes a nice first impression. The cafe has their take out area in the front and in the back, it has seating and tables for their tea ceremonies. Though I would have loved to try their tea ceremonies, I didn't have the luxury of time for it. As for service, it's prompt, considerate, and thoughtful. When they hand you the drink, they dont throw it on the counter but rather hold it out to you for you receive, smile at you, and say thank you. It's a small courtesy but I do think just pleasant service like that isn't so common anymore. So that small interaction just makes me give this the nod above other spots. Matcha Latte (hot & soy milk) - Hand frothed using a bamboo whisk and using tea ceremony grade matcha made me believe this would be a good drink. Unfortunately my sips was not the same as the expectations. I found the tea to milk really unbalanced... too watery and diluted. I want to say what it tastes like (bitter, vegetal... something) but it honestly tasted more like watery soy milk with a hint of bitterness. Even with the higher price point of $8+ (tax & tip in), it was a very expensive watery tea. 2/5 Maybe it was an off day and seeing the other reviews, maybe it was. Perhaps I'll give them another chance but with 4 other bubble tea spots within a few minutes walk, I probably wouldnt return so quickly.
