Best matcha in Bogota
Matcha in Bogota has moved from a coffee-shop afterthought to its own category. The best cafés in Bogota use ceremonial-grade matcha from named Japanese growers (Uji, Nishio, Kagoshima), whisk it properly with a chasen, and serve it in three formats: straight, iced latte, and hot latte. Roasters maps the cafés in Bogota doing it right. Roasters currently counts 37 cafés in Bogota, #1 in Colombia.
Preparation matters as much as the powder. A properly made matcha is sifted (to avoid clumps), whisked with a chasen in a W-shape (not stirred), and served in a wide bowl or over ice with milk. The best matcha lattes in Bogota balance the matcha with whole milk, oat, or barista-grade alternatives — never overpowered by sugar or syrup.
