The Best Matcha Places To Visit In Fort Worth, TX

The Japanese perfected the art of drinking a cup of matcha tea, going so far as to elevate it into a ceremonial event. It’s a special tea, no doubt about it, and it’s gone from being a niche refreshment to something that makes a refreshing treat. Fortunately for modern tea drinkers in Fort Worth, there are plenty of places to get a cup of matcha that range from casual to ceremonial.

At Hiley Mazda of Fort Worth, we think matcha is a wonderful drink to help you lift your mood. We’ve compiled a list of the best matcha places in Fort Worth for an individual visit or do a tea house hop in your new Mazda from our dealership.

Fort Worth Botanic Garden

Tea House by Steven Miller is licensed with CC BY 2.0.

The Fort Worth Botanic Garden features a historic Japanese tea house where guests can come and experience the Japanese matcha tea ceremony. The tea house was recently restored and now includes traditional Japanese tea house features. You can relax and drink your tea in a place designed to bring tranquility, peace, harmony, and respect under a simple roof line. Walk through the door and let yourself be transported to a world where nothing matters except for the simple enjoyment of matcha tea.

The ceremony is usually held once a month, but it’s not a regular event. Check the website to find out if the tea house is hosting an event or call ahead to find out when the matcha tea ceremony is being held. Reservations are required to attend an event.

Ampersand Coffee Supply

Ampersand Coffee Supply, also known as Ampersand, is a coffee and tea house that features a blended matcha drink and a matcha latte that compliments its quality line of coffee. You can get a green tea matcha latte that’s iced or hot, sweetened to your liking, and your choice of dairy, nut, or plant milk. Kick up your matcha experience a notch with the blended version. All of the options for the matcha latte are available in the blended, and you can add syrups for a personalized flavor.

The baristas at Ampersand put their best efforts into making a smooth and foamy matcha tea. They take the time to properly blend the powder into the water and eliminate chunks that can mess up the drinking experience.

Gong Cha Fort Worth

Sometimes you simply must have a boba tea that’s refreshing, not too sweet, and flavorful. Gong Cha Fort Worth delivers with a matcha milk tea made just the way you like it. Order a matcha milk tea with matcha on top of the milk foam so you can have a delightful matcha overload that leaves you feeling good. Gong Cha gives you the option to pick your sugar level, which means you can have your matcha with no sugar for an authentic flavor or add a bit of sweetness for refreshment without a lot of calories.

Gong Cha is a Taiwanese bubble tea shop specializing in milk foam or slightly salted cream topping on fresh tea. It serves milk tea, fruit tea, slush, and coffee drinks. You can customize your drinks in the form of sweetness and ice levels. There’s seemingly no end to the drink options and combinations on offer, and it makes a wonderful place to return to time and again for a new flavor experience. With matcha tea on top, of course.

Crude Coffee Bar

Crude Coffee Bar takes its name from the region’s oil-rich history, but its matcha tea is most definitely not crude. It offers up matcha tea in Americano, Cortado, and latte versions, and you can have your cup made hot or cold. The baristas at Crude are passionate about their craft, whether they’re serving tea or coffee. They make sure your matcha is smooth, as sweet as you like it, and isn’t overwhelmed by anything you want to add to your drink. Crude offers syrups that range from the usuals to alcohol-infused for an added kick in your matcha.

Rounding out the experience is the opportunity to sample one of six to eight dessert offerings made from scratch. The menu changes daily, and you’re sure to find something that pairs nicely with your matcha tea. A limited breakfast menu is offered and features breakfast tacos with a selection of fillings, scones with savory and sweet filings are available, and other breakfast treats are available.

Leaves Book & Tea Shop

Leaves Book & Tea Shop combines two kinds of leaves in one place: tea and books. All types of tea are featured on its menu, and it offers matcha in seasonal blends. It offers different varieties, including traditional matcha, matcha latte, matcha rose, and honey lemon matcha. You might find yourself sitting down for a while to enjoy a book with a cup of matcha of your choice, then switch to a different tea to enhance your time and experience in a cozy environment.

Perhaps the best thing about the tea shop is that it prepares matcha tea in a ceremonial fashion. The tea powder is sifted into the cup, then the appropriate amount of hot water is poured over the powder. A bamboo whisk is used to break up the powder and get it to dissolve smoothly into the water, making sure to leave no chunks behind. It doesn’t get much better than that for a cup of matcha.
