One matcha shop to go

If you love finely ground green tea and enjoy only leaving your house on the weekend, this Oak Cliff cafe is for you.

Driving the brews: We have been on our own quest to try various matcha drinks across town, much like food vlogger Keith Lee.

• His latest visit was to a Lancaster matcha shop, but he has also stopped at Chasen.

The intrigue: Matcha is traditionally served hot with a sweet treat on the side to soften the tea's bitter and grassy flavor.

• The powdered tea is mixed with hot water — using a bamboo whisk called a chasen — until frothy.
• Most American cafes and coffee shops serve matcha iced and mixed with flavorings and sweeteners.

What to order: Taro Cream Top — matcha, vanilla, taro powder and taro cream on top.

• We also tried the salty Miso Caramel.

Where: Chasen Matcha Bar, 416 N. Tyler St.

Cost: $6.50

Six word review: Grassy matcha, earthy taro, sweet cream.
