JENKI Matcha Covent Garden
About
The quality of the matcha is praised by many for being great value despite London prices, though others find it overhyped. Lavender sea salt and hojicha varieties are frequently mentioned among the menu options. A common observation is that there's always a long queue, but guests consider this a testament to the quality. Jenki Matcha Covent Garden's Uji matcha powder is highly regarded for its authentic taste, making it a favorite among regulars who appreciate the ritual of preparing their own matcha at home. The venue is known for using 100% ceremonial grade matcha and offering smooth latte options that are both delicious and worth the wait. Several flag long queues as a minor drawback while others do not find them an issue, focusing instead on the quality and taste. In terms of value, reviewers consistently mention that the prices are reasonable for London standards, making it a go-to spot for those seeking high-quality matcha experiences.
