Edinburgh now has a number of dedicated matcha cafés, and the latest one to arrive in the Capital is Matcha Sando in Bruntsfield.

Having never tried the Japanese green tea myself, I was curious to see what all the fuss was about - and if the popular kryptonite-looking drink could potentially replace my daily coffees.

Matcha Sando is a cosy café, with bright, minimal interiors making for a peaceful spot in the middle of one of Edinburgh's busiest streets. There's a range of comfy seating, from beanbag chairs, to green sofas and eclectic dining chairs.
