Best matcha in Vilnius

Matcha in Vilnius has moved from a coffee-shop afterthought to its own category. The best cafés in Vilnius 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 Vilnius doing it right. Roasters currently counts 48 cafés in Vilnius, #1 in Lithuania.

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 Vilnius balance the matcha with whole milk, oat, or barista-grade alternatives — never overpowered by sugar or syrup.
