Best matcha in Copenhagen
Plenty of cafés in Copenhagen now sell matcha, but only some treat it with the same care as their coffee. This guide covers the grades, the preparation and the menu cues that separate ceremonial-grade matcha from a sweetened powder. Copenhagen is one of 144 cities with a “Matcha” guide on Roasters.
The matcha grade tells you everything. Ceremonial-grade is the bright, vivid green powder you'll see in the best specialty cafés — first-harvest leaves, stone-ground, vegetal and sweet. Culinary-grade is duller, bitter, and meant for cooking. The cafés the Roasters community ranks highest in Copenhagen only use ceremonial.
