Best matcha in Poznan
Matcha in Poznan has moved from a coffee-shop afterthought to its own category. The best cafés in Poznan 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 Poznan doing it right. Roasters currently counts 40 cafés in Poznan, #4 in Poland.
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 Poznan balance the matcha with whole milk, oat, or barista-grade alternatives — never overpowered by sugar or syrup.
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 Poznan only use ceremonial.
