How Matcha

Walking into How Matcha on Blandford Street feels like stepping into someone's carefully considered obsession—in the best way. The space is minimal and focused, no faffing about with matcha lattes that taste like sweetened dust. They've actually invested in proper ceremonial grade matcha and the staff know what they're doing, which is refreshing when half of Marylebone is selling Instagram-friendly green slop. You come here because you want the real thing: a proper whisked bowl, or if you're easing in, a well-made matcha that tastes like actual tea rather than food colouring. The crowd is mix of matcha devotees and curious locals who've discovered that quality matters.
