At VERA, matcha is more than a trend — it is a discipline. We source exclusively from Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, where matcha cultivation has been perfected over eight centuries. Every tin we open is ceremonial grade: stone-ground, vibrant, and alive with umami.
Matcha is one of the most studied drinks in the world. Research links its L-theanine and caffeine content to calm focus and sustained energy . EGCG catechins are studied in the context of cellular ageing and metabolism . Chlorophyll, according to research, can bind toxins and support the body's natural cleansing processes . Matcha also contains polyphenols that, according to meta-analyses, support immune function .
Each cup is hand-whisked to order using a traditional bamboo chasen. No machines, no shortcuts, no premixed powders. The ritual matters — it is what separates real matcha from green-tinted imitations. We claim our matcha to be the best in Serbia. If not — we will refund you.

The matcha we serve is ceremonial grade from Uji, Japan, a region known for its tea. We whisk it by hand, so it is smooth, soft and free of grassy bitterness, with a calm energy that lasts. The menu includes a matcha shot, matcha raf and iced matcha, made with coconut milk.
If you are new to matcha, start with the matcha raf: it is gentle and creamy and does not require getting used to a stronger taste. The matcha shot is for those who want the pure taste of tea. Iced matcha is a good choice for hot days and long conversations. If you cannot decide, ask the staff and we will gladly recommend.
We claim ours is the best matcha in Serbia. If you disagree, we will refund you. That is why matcha at VERA is something we are especially proud of, not just another item on the menu.
