My first café dine-in since Covid-19, traveling down Milwaukee Ave, I noticed Brü Chicago was open for business. So I made a quick stop.
They use Aiya unsweetened matcha powder. It’s more of a culinary grade, but better than most.
Not quite enough powder for my liking, but it was good. They didn’t burn it bitter with boiling water.
Here’s the matcha from Amazon - https://amzn.to/39jBg09
Overall: Good!
In our matcha tour of México City, Baxter Room was one of the few places (maybe the only?) that actually whisked.
While I never did catch the brand name of the product, I did get a good look and it was vibrant green with a good aroma.
The staff was incredibly friendly and took a lot of care in making the drink.
Overall: Good
Equal parts:
Matcha
Thai tea - Assam black tea with spices
Oatly
Tastes like an oatly chai maybe a with a hint of matcha. The matcha is pretty undetectable. Glad I tried it but wouldn’t get this again. Not that it’s bad but I would rather just go for a sweetened Thai tea or chai. If I’ve got a taste for matcha, this doesn’t cut it. For what it is, it’s good. As a matcha, it’s mediocre.
Previously WA used Spirit. Then MATCHA MPLS. Not exactly why they switched back to Spirit. Not a bad move but Matcha Mpls is not bad at all.
