Visiting Kettl Tea in Greenpoint provides a truly immersive experience for any tea enthusiast. Beyond just sipping your drink, the place invites you to appreciate the artistry behind Japanese tea culture. Their selection of imported teas is impressive, each variety showcasing distinct aromas and flavors that highlight the delicate nuances of green tea. One of the highlights is their matcha lattes, particularly unique blends like Almond and Orange Blossom, which add subtle floral and nutty notes without overpowering the vibrant matcha. I personally tried the iced version with whole milk, and it was refreshing and smooth, perfectly balanced in taste. The hot cortado and latte options feature Hukuju matcha, which delivers delightful nutty and cacao undertones—ideal for those seeking a richer flavor profile. Kettl Tea also hosts regular tasting events that allow visitors to deepen their appreciation for the craft of tea-making. These sessions are held in cozy, peaceful spaces including a private room, making them ideal for both novices and seasoned tea lovers to learn and connect. Browsing their retail selection of ceramics adds to the cultural experience, giving you a piece of the tea ceremony to take home. Located in Brooklyn’s vibrant Greenpoint neighborhood and also near McCarren Park, with an additional location in Los Angeles, Kettl Tea is carving out a niche for itself as a must-visit destination for matcha in NYC. If you’re looking to explore authentic Japanese teas and enjoy a calm, welcoming environment, this spot should definitely be on your list.
