A map of every matcha and Japanese tea specialist in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and London, chosen one by one from Japan by Yuki Taga, a licensed acupuncturist writing at MAISON YUKI. Matcha or Japanese tea has to be the point of the shop: specialists and tea houses are on the map, a coffee bar with a matcha latte on the board is not. Seventy-six shops across four cities so far; Paris and the old tea houses of Japan are next. Being listed is free.
