Whisked Matcha and Sobacha Lattes in a Quiet Greenpoint Tea Room
A hushed Greenpoint counter for whisked matcha, Sobacha lattes, and an unhurried afternoon.
🍵 Tea Sourced Straight From Japan
Kettl built its Greenpoint tea room around one idea, tea sourced straight from Japanese growers and poured with care. Staff walk you through the menu without rushing, whether you land on a bowl of whisked matcha, a Sobacha latte, or a hukuju cortado. The counter also stocks tea tools, incense, and small-batch chocolate, and a quick cup often turns into a slow browse. Toward the back, burning incense sets a quiet backdrop, and regulars settle in to journal or read. On weekends the room fills with people who signed up for matcha-making classes and guided tastings, learning to whisk and taste the difference between harvests. Mornings stay calm, the doors open at 9:00 AM, and the light through the front windows makes an easy first stop before the rest of Greenpoint wakes up.
