As a lover of Matcha ...and the fact that I live just minutes away....I went back to try my beloved hot Matcha latte this time again. This time with the $1.25 upgrade to Kyoto Uji Matcha , and with no sugar except the sweetness in the matcha red bean.....and the result was a spectacular matcha latte, the best I've tasted in the city. No tricks, or gimmicks, just a really fresh tasting cup.
I was chatting with the owner and she said that earlier this year they've changed their suppliers for Matcha as well as adjusted the milk ratio, as well as changed their suppliers for almond and soy milk.
Having the ability to upgrade to ceremonial grade Matcha is a game changer for me! It also shows how Nohonhon really listens to their customers as well as works constantly to improve it's Matcha craft and ingredients.
This year, Toronto's new fad seems to be Matcha cafe's ....everywhere...with a new cafe popping up every other week. But a fad is a fad....and I must give credit where it's due to Nohonhon for being the first in Toronto....and having the experience and taking the time to tweak and make their core products right.
Cheers to the best calm and enjoyable start to thanksgiving weekend .
