Matchali Lyndhurst Terrace: Central’s New Matcha Retreat

Hong Kong’s beloved matcha specialists, Matchali, have expanded their presence with a new store on Lyndhurst Terrace, Central, opening on 24 December. Known for their handcrafted ceremonial-grade matcha, the café offers a serene escape from the city’s hustle, with a vibrant green façade and interiors designed by Brash Atelier that combine natural wood, stone, and tile for a warm yet minimalist ambience.

The menu balances classics with Lyndhurst exclusives. The iced Banana Bread Matcha Latte merges ripe banana with premium matcha for a creamy, naturally sweet treat, while the Spanish Matcha Latte layers earthy matcha with condensed milk for a velvety indulgence. Light bites include Matcha Ricotta Strawberry Toast and the Matcha Yogurt Granola Bowl with yuzu apple oolong jam and cacao nibs, reflecting a careful harmony of health and flavour.

Seasonal festive drinks, like the White Chocolate Matcha Latte or Apple Pie Matcha Latte, complement signature offerings, while retail options such as ceremonial-grade matcha sets allow fans to bring the Matchali experience home. Founded by cousins Cara and Laura, all drinks are hand-whisked with plant-based, unprocessed ingredients, delivering pure, jitter-free energy. Matchali Lyndhurst Terrace is a thoughtful oasis in Central, offering mindful, delicious pauses for matcha enthusiasts.
