These are our favorite spots for vegan matcha lattes in Los Angeles! Matcha lattes are one of the most popular drinks out there. From Instagram influencers and avid yogi to moms on-the-run, matcha lattes are all the rage these days! Not only is this green beverage trendy, but it’s also great for your health! Matcha is rich in antioxidants, improves focus and memory, boosts immunity and energy––and it tastes great!
When it comes to our matcha lattes, we enjoy them best with the Organic Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder from Tenzo Tea! Their high-quality powder is made with the youngest, most nutrient-dense leaves from green tea plants in Kagoshima, Japan. Here are 9 spots in LA that use Tenzo Tea in their matcha lattes!

Do you like your matcha lattes hot or iced? Whatever your green tea preferences are, Sage has your back! Their matcha latte can be ordered over ice or steaming hot. And no order at Sage is complete without one of their staple menu items! Our favorites would have to be the Chia French Toast, Buffalo Cauliflower, and Farmer’s Lasagna.
