Matcha drinks at Nada Tea House

Don’t let the modest storefront fool you. Nada Tea & Coffee House is a Japanese teahouse that serves some of the most expertly made tea in Chicago — including the best matcha I’ve found in the city. The simple Matcha Latte ($3.50 small, $4.10 large) is made with a base of fine matcha powder, steamed milk and honey, while the more decadent Matcha Mocha ($3.85 small, $4.45 large) pumps up its matcha and steamed milk with a swirl of white chocolate. The Matcha Viennese ($3.50 small, $4.10 large) is the prettiest of the three, as its matcha, made with hot water and laced with honey, is crowned with a hefty dollop of fresh whipped cream. The richness and slight bitterness of the matcha in each of these drinks balances out the sweetness of the honey or chocolate, and they all feel the way that matcha should when going down: soothing and rejuvenating.
