Best matcha in Perth, Australia
Plenty of cafés in Perth 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. The guide draws on the 61 specialty cafés and roasters the community has mapped in Perth.
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 Perth only use ceremonial.
