š Encounter the Finest Uji Matcha on a Portland Street Corner
Portland always gives us reasons to slow down. Beyond the many coffee shops on every corner, I found a true matcha specialty store hereāProject Matcha. Tucked quietly on a side street, it doesnāt shout for attention, yet anyone who loves matcha will remember it at first sight. Portland is a city that loves art, values local craftsmanship, and moves at a relaxed pace. Project Matcha fits right into this vibe: unrushed, with every cup of matcha carefully prepared on the spot, just like the way this city approaches lifeāwith intention and care. ⨠A Handy Ordering Guide: Ceremonial Grade Matcha šµ On a drizzly Portland afternoon, a bowl of hand-whisked matcha is especially soothing. They use high-grade matcha powder from Uji, whisked into a vibrant, deep green. Without milk or sugar, it still carries a natural, gentle sweetnessāa pure and authentic matcha experience. Strawberry Matcha Latte š Portlanders always embrace seasonal specials. This drink is layered with hand-mashed fresh strawberry pulp at the bottom, blending pink and matcha green in a visually sweet way. Stir it together, and you get a perfect balance of strawberry milk and rich matchaāgentle yet full of flavor. Black Sesame Matcha š If you appreciate Portlandās understated and unique style, try the black sesame matcha. The rich nutty aroma of black sesame pairs wonderfully with the slight bitterness of matcha, creating a warm, comforting blend that feels both earthy and refined. Matcha Soft Serve š¦ Before a walk along the waterfront, treat yourself to matcha soft serve. Smooth and creamy, with a pronounced matcha flavor and just the right touch of sweetnessāitās like enjoying melted matcha bliss. šæ The shopās interior reflects Portlandās minimalist aesthetic, with concrete gray and natural wood tones that feel calm and welcoming. Whether watching the rain outside or basking in a stray beam of afternoon sun, reading or simply relaxing here makes time feel like itās flowing a little slower. If youāre in Portland or planning a visit, donāt miss this serene taste of green. #Portland #PortlandLife #PDXFood #Matcha #AfternoonTea #ExplorePortland #SlowLiving #TravelDiary #SweetTreats #MatchaLover #LifeAbroad
