My Secret New York: Matcha Bar!

It's been crazy for me last days so I didn't have time to read much on Steemit, and definitely no time to post...

So now I'm back with my news from NYC and sharing the best matcha tea place in the city!

If you're wondering what's matcha at first place, read my post about its provenance and fantastic nutritional value!

I've stopped by this little bar in Chelsea while rushing to one of the gallery openings this spring.. And since then I'm addicted to it!

The place is called Matcha Bar, and by its name you could probably guess that it's all about matcha green tea and everything made of it 🍵

This drink has been popular for several years already, but it's only in this bar that I could try such creative combinations...

Watermelon basil matcha?

Jasmine green tea matcha?

Coconut chai matcha?

Or maybe Cinnamon Maple hot matcha🍁.. So good in winter!

Even though I prefer the original drink at home, as it gives you the maximum benefits of the matcha leaves without unnecessary sugars and flavorings added to it, in this bar I am always taking their signature drinks!

Not only they are made of a good quality matcha, but also other ingredients are natural (almond milk, coconut milk, spices, etc), and it usually has no sweeteners added unless you specifically ask for it.

And if you are not a big fan of matcha yet, I suggest that you do ask to make it a bit sweeter for you or take a version with syrups.

The bar has also a nice choice of pastries with gluten free options and some cakes with matcha too.

And, of course, plenty of accessories to make matcha at home!

I also like the cozy atmosphere there and always take chance to enjoy my tea there, while reading some emails and.. writing new posts for Steemit! 😊

Stay tuned! 🙌

P.S. I was going to make this post bilingual again, but with the launch of Golos I am thinking I'll leave my Russian language exercises there :-)
