Wonderful selection of matcha as well as other teas. The owner is quite knowledgeable & has a deep understanding of matcha. Best matcha shop in Montreal!
Nous adorons Nestor & ses thés! Nous partons de loin pour aller acheter ses matchas faits à la main, frais & ô combien de qualité! Humble & passionné, Nestor est vraiment un homme charmant. Nous recommandons assurément à tous ceux qui passent (ou non) dans le coin ;)
Nestor is a genius with people, food, & aesthetics. This place is most certainly worth visiting if you ever have the time. Personally, I like the teamonade
Wow. Words cannot describe this fine establishment. Nestor is incredibly well versed in Asian culture. My friend spoke so highly of this place that I had to give it a visit. As I walked through the door, I was greeted by zen. Truly a warm & welcoming sanctuary in this cold Montreal tundra. If I did not have class, I could have spent hours here. An educational, cultural & culinary experience all in 1. I will definitely be back soon. Best matcha eve
The drinks were so earthy & tasty! We talked to the owner for a while & he talked about the benefits of certain teas. He is clearly very knowledgeable about teas & their properties, & he even takes the time to make his own milk (out of pumpkin seeds)! Great service & a lovely little shop/resto.
Best tea shop I have ever been in & genuinely the best matcha ever. The owner is amazing & had the warmest heart. We learned so much from him, I felt like I was transcended to a tea universe. Must place to visit.

The owner was really kind & patient. We came in late & there was no one in the store. The owner was really kind & invited us in. He also told us the stories & the benefits of matcha, & it felt like watching a tea master in action. I hope I can rate this higher but well... there is only 5 star.
I've never been to an establishment more deserving of a five star review than this one. My girlfriend & I were just looking for a place to get some warm tea & relief from the cold rain while we killed time before a concert. In doing so we stumbled upon a true gem. For starters the tea was delicious. We started with a cup each of some sesame matcha that the owner had just made followed later by complementary small cups of white tea. As amazing as the tea was, I don't even know if that's the best part. The atmosphere of the tea shop is so inviting & calming. There are indoor plants everywhere & the walls are lined with beautiful paintings. To top all of this off the owner is so sweet & very passionate about tea. You can tell that each pot is made with love. We were only in Montréal for the night to catch a concert, but if I lived in this city there's no doubt I would be here very frequently.
I feel like I'm at a tea renegade mastermind's lair, being served familiar teas with different tones of flavours, home brewed white tea from exotic locations. It is a special experience in the city, I had the matcha avocado, traditional matcha & got served white tea in the house & some fresh date & peanut butter snacks for iron since matcha inhibits iron intake. Really nice owne
The best tea shop I have ever been to, the owner Nestor is very passionate & it shows in his teas. He is very charming, & lovely to chat with - the conversation was as good as the tea
Durant la pandémie, j'ai fait mes propres matcha latte avec lait d'avoine Earth's Own & sucre de coco ajouté 😬 J'ai commencé à avoir des palpitations incroyablement fréquentes. J'en buvais deux tasses par jour. C'était mon addiction.
J'ai découvert par hasard que sommairement les tanins bloquaient l'absorption de magnésium par mon corps malgré un taux sanguin amplement suffisant causant ainsi d'effroyables extrasystoles. Sachant cela, j'ai tout arrêté.
Un an plus tard, je me suis risquée à venir ici. J'y ai trouvé: 1. Une personne complètement géniale, 2. Qui fait les meilleurs matcha lattes sur terre, 3. Ils ne causent pas de palpitations 🥲
Je regrette de ne pas avoir connu @ Matcha avant pour mon pauvre cœur. Je peux vous assurer que c'est fini pour moi toutes les autres places qui utilisent du lait végétal contenant du sucre raffiné.
