🍵 The Only Matcha I Can't Live Without in NYC 🍵

🌿 I'm a firm believer that you don't have to be a coffee person OR a tea person, but if I had to choose, I'd usually pick coffee. This matcha, however, would be sorely missed if that hypothetical ever came true! 📍 PPL is the spot I've been visiting for their matcha, and it's now my favorite place for iced almond matcha. 🥤 11/10: Iced Almond Matcha Made with matcha imported from Japan, sourced from a friend of the owner. You can't even buy it (I tried), but I wish you could. It's fresh, earthy, and lightly sweet with no unnecessary bitterness or dull flavor. It pairs beautifully with almond milk and makes a drink that is both luxurious and refreshing. I find it gives me a great little boost of smooth energy, too! 📝 About PPL: Drinks take a little bit of time, so I wouldn't stop here in a rush. If people are in front of you, you may end up waiting for 5-10 minutes. That being said, the wait is because they're carefully crafting your drink! They prepare the tea lattes here with a LOT of care, and you can taste it! The drink does come out to $7-8 depending on how you tip, which is certainly a high-end price point. Of all the matcha I've tried in the area, it is the most wonderful and worth it! I'd gladly spend the $2-3 markup here. The coffee is definitely good, don't get me wrong! Just not as much of a wow as the tea lattes are. I'd love to try more as they also offer Hojicha and Sencha! 📸 I highly recommend making a pit stop at PPL next time you're in the neighborhood! It's the perfect drink to put a little pep in your step for a work session, shopping trip, or catch up with a friend. #nycfoodreview #nycfoodguide #matchamoments #matchaobsessed #nyccafe #nyclifestyle #matcha
