Chazui Tea Tower — Restaurant in Lake View Township

We got the coconut matcha and the banana bread matcha. We had to throw both out but for different reasons.

Coconut matcha: the recommended sweetness was 70% which we got. The drink had no sweetness at all. It tasted like the last drops of matcha diluted with the melted ice in your cup. Matcha and ice water.

It would be equivalent to a local tea vendor if anyone remembers teavana . Anyways I ordered the coconut cream with a peach base. It was tasty. Do come here if you aren't craving for heavy dinners on a Monday and just want light beverage to drink. If by chance I come I will try their...
