Zhongzheng District, Taipei City｜MATCHA ONE Qidong Shop

Extensive selection of Matcha treats and drinks! Had the signature Mont Blanc NT $580. Covered in a thick layer of noodle-like Matcha puree, is matcha ice cream and red bean paste. The matcha flavour is quite strong and bitter in taste.

Simply a haven for the matcha lovers! I’ll admit though that I was a bit put off by the prices. Having learned that this was renovated from a historic building back in the Japan colonising days and that it takes great effort and money to maintain, I felt more at ease with pulling out with my wallet. Anyway, the foods are lovely to look at and delightful in the mouth! Everything was matcha to the core. My favourite would have to be the matcha Mont Blanc - worth every dollar. The rainbow tea (forgot the exact name) was unexpected as I thought it’d be sweet! Loved the bitterness and how pleasing it was to the eyes ❤️ Too bad it was pouring rain that day, or else it would have been cherry on top to take a stroll in its garden out back!

Very matcha! A great place for all things matcha if they is your thing. Very atmospheric place surrounded by old Japanese style houses. Price is not cheap but a very good experience.
