Hyderabad is officially in its matcha era. For the past one year, the Japanese green tea has been slowly brewing in the city with specialty coffee shops dedicating a small percentage of their menu to it. But now, it seems like the bright green wave is taking over entirely.
No, don’t get us wrong. Hyderabadis hearts’ will always belong to Irani chai and dark roasts, but now they are opening up a lot to matcha.
