Discover Best Japanese Tea & Desserts in NYC✨
If you’re ever in Williamsburg, don’t miss this hidden gem – Nippon Cha! It’s a Japanese tea and dessert haven, offering more than just matcha! 🍃
They’ve got a wide variety of teas, and each one is transformed into incredible drinks and sweets. For example, their gelato comes in four different tea options:
• Tochucha (caffeine-free Setouchi tea)
• Matcha (ceremonial grade)
• Hojicha (roasted green tea)
• Koucha (Japanese black tea)
I went for the Tochucha gelato, and it was the perfect balance of tea, milk, and sweetness. So refreshing! 🥰
The Matcha Tiramisu is a crowd favorite — super moist and not too sweet. It’s light and chilled, making it the perfect treat.
For drinks, you can’t go wrong with the Kuro Mitsu Matcha Latte. It’s visually stunning with a layer of brown sugar at the bottom, which you mix for a creamy, rich matcha flavor that’s not overly sweet. You can also opt for Hojicha Latte if you prefer a deeper, more roasted tea taste. Both are delicious! 😋
They also sell tea leaves and powders, so you can take the experience home with you. 🍃
