Komichi Tea House - Penang

Our must have matcha everytime we are back in Penang. Try their ceremonial grade if you have not. Hojicha, cakes etc. are all good too. Basically have not had something that isn't pleasing at Komichi.

Despite the high review from others, the dessert and drinks i picked was underwhelming today. Only fan no AC. Lychee Wakocha overpowered by the lychee taste and diluted by the ice, barely any black tea taste. Roll cake at KL price. Cake doesnt have a fragrant houjicha taste and even eggy taste. Cream and the tangerine tasted like something that doesnt match well together... Cream doesnt feel light. Dango was fine, nothing special.

The food is just ordinary (matcha dango). The drink (matcha with passion fruit drink) is interesting. To me, it's worth to be tried. Please note that for every visitor, you need to purchase at least 1 food/beverage. The waiter is so cool. What she did just let us view the menu and place the order. You get to enjoy a quiet and green place here.

Had their hojicha swiss roll and matcha latte. Will recommend the swiss roll, it has small slices of jackfruits as the filling (adds a refreshing touch to the dessert) but only order the matcha latte if you like matcha without much milk. Really cute place nonetheless, worth the try!

I love love LOVE this place!!! Their tea is super relaxing and refreshing, desserts are rich in flavour and really hits the spot on a hot day! Definitely recommend to visit after a long walk or heavy breakfast!
