Step through the sheer curtains at Cre Asion to discover a pioneering matcha oasis in North Sydney, where the highest grade of this beautifully bitter Japanese tea has been whisked into specialty drinks and desserts since 2011. Japandi-style wood benches line the wall, facing glass pastry cabinets filled with verdant matcha green: fluffy swiss rolls, crumbly thick cookies and springy chiffon cake — also available in a nutty hojicha (roasted green tea) flavour with savoury azuki (red bean) cream.

Good to know: Peruse the shelves for ceremonial-grade matcha powder and whisks.
