If you haven’t heard of JENKI before – it’s time to get to know them. Their award-winning matcha has slowly but surely taken London by storm and for good reason, it is bloody good. JENKI works with a family-run tea farm to produce this high quality matcha. And this is no ordinary matcha – this is a sweet and mellow 100% ceremonial grade, hand-sourced matcha from the foothills of Uji in Japan. If that doesn’t sound legit enough for you to try out, I don’t know what else to tell you.
With successes across their matcha bars in Spitalfields, Selfridges and Covent Garden – JENKI is now making it’s way south of the river. There is no lie that South London lacks a dedicated matcha space so this is a promising addition to the area. Bringing its vibrant green hue and flavour – Whisk is JENKI’s next chapter and it’s making a permanent home at the iconic Borough Market.
Set in a space on 4 Stoney Street, Whisk is JENKI’s matcha bar. On the ground floor, you’ll find the signature bar serving up all things matcha in every form – from drinks to bakes. Upstairs, on the second floor you’ll find a gorgeous space with a massive warehouse window overlooking the market perfect for a little perch with your matcha in hand.
To celebrate it’s new opening, there’s a new drink inspired by the traditional ‘London Fog’ exclusive to Borough only – this is a matcha latte infused with Earl Grey tea, milk and vanilla. With the weather we’re witnessing this week, it’s the perfect winter warmer to keep you caffeinated through the morning.
Whether you’re a seasoned matcha enthusiast or just curious to try the vibrant green drink for the first time, this new addition to Borough Market promises to be a must-visit destination so don’t walk – run and get your hands on a cuppa!
Doors open today from 8am-7pm everyday. You’ll find Whisk by JENKI here: 4 Stoney Street, Borough Market, London, SE1 9AA
