Where to Get the Best Matcha Lattes in Copenhagen

With its vibrant green colour, matcha tea is hard to miss. Often used in Japanese tea ceremonies, matcha is finely ground from high-grade green tea leaves and has been consumed for centuries for its health benefits.

What is the difference between green tea and matcha?

Green tea and matcha come from the same plant, called Camellia sinensis. The difference is that green tea is made using leaves or a bag of tea, while matcha is made from a pulverised powder. For that reason, matcha often has a stronger flavor.

In recent years, matcha tea combined with foamed milk – called a matcha latte – has gained popularity. It is praised as a healthy, antioxidant alternative to coffee, and a good source of vitamins and minerals that promotes mental alertness in a calm and relaxed way, as opposed to the coffee-induced adrenalin spike.

If you love drinking matcha lattes but are struggling to find them in Copenhagen, this guide is for you. There are many great places that offer tasty matcha lattes, and they all have a story about where they source their matcha from.

Here are the best places to get delicious matcha lattes in Copenhagen:

Sing Tehus

Sing Tehus focuses on sourcing tea from small independent farmers who grow tea with care, quality, and great respect for nature. Many of Sing Tehus’s suppliers are family-owned, passing on traditions of tea making through the generations. At Sing Tehus, you can order a matcha latte made with Yamabuki leaves from Hoshino Seichaen, one of the finest matcha producers in Japan. And a fun fact: they were the first tea house in Copenhagen to serve Japanese tea in 2006, with a strong emphasis on matcha tea.
