Specialising in fine, traditional green teas, Peace Oriental Teahouse offers a different selection of rare green teas every season. Order gyokuro (THB 450) to enjoy the signature, top-notch green tea. Those who’d like to savour slick, syrupy matcha flavours should try Ceremonial-Grade Matcha (THB 690), prepared in the Japanese koicha method. For a lighter, sweeter alternative, choose the usucha method, which provides a subtle, buttery matcha taste.
