What to order at JENKI Battersea

1) Ceremonial matcha (usucha)

Best for tasting the house profile without milk or syrups. If you are judging quality, start here before ordering a latte.

2) Iced matcha latte

A safe default at this branch: balanced sweetness, quick service, and consistent texture in peak periods.

3) Matcha soft serve (seasonal availability may vary)

Good pick when the branch is busy and you want a fast, low-friction order with strong matcha flavour.
