The story of matcha at Dirty Rabbit
Dirty Rabbit Specialty Coffee is in S'Agaró, at Avinguda Platja d'Aro 275, on the southern Costa Brava. The café is known first for coffee, with a La Marzocco KB90 behind the bar, but the same logic that shaped the coffee menu shaped the matcha menu too: choose suppliers with a name, a point of view, and a product worth explaining.
That is why Dirty Rabbit works with REQ Matcha. They are based in Barcelona, founded by a Japanese entrepreneur, and they source directly from Japanese plantations instead of treating matcha as a generic green powder. For guests, that translates into a cup that is deep green, clean on the palate, and much less bitter than the low-grade versions many people have tried elsewhere.
This matters on the Costa Brava because many cafés run under intense seasonal pressure. From June to September, service gets faster, queues get longer, and menus often drift toward whatever is easiest to execute. Matcha has become fashionable, but good matcha is still rare. Dirty Rabbit opened with the idea that quality should not disappear just because the beach is full. The shop stays open year-round, and the matcha program stays on the menu through winter, shoulder season, and summer rush alike.
So when someone asks for the best matcha Platja d'Aro, the best matcha Girona, or even mejor matcha Costa Brava, the honest answer is not about hype. It is about whether the place can tell you what tea it uses, why it chose it, and how it is prepared. Dirty Rabbit can.
How Dirty Rabbit prepares matcha
1. Start with the right tea
The result is decided before milk ever enters the cup. REQ Matcha gives a smoother, sweeter, more vegetal profile than low-cost food-grade powders. That is why the drink keeps its structure even when served iced.
2. Whisk before dilution
Matcha is whisked with water first so it opens correctly and avoids clumps. This step is simple, but it is exactly where rushed service usually cuts corners. The payoff is a cleaner texture from the first sip to the last.
3. Build around balance
Milk or ice should support the tea, not bury it. Dirty Rabbit aims for a cup where you still taste the matcha clearly, whether you order a classic latte or something more refreshing for a hot Costa Brava afternoon.
4. Keep it flexible
Some people want the standard build. Others want more intensity. That is why the menu includes an extra strong matcha option instead of pretending every guest wants the same strength.
Matcha menu at Dirty Rabbit
Classic Matcha Latte
The anchor drink. Available hot or iced. Smooth, green, and built for people who want a proper everyday matcha instead of a novelty order.
Orange Matcha
A brighter Costa Brava version for warmer days. Orange sharpens the tea without covering it, which makes this one especially good in spring and summer.
Extra Strong Matcha
For guests who want more body and more edge. Same supplier, same technique, just a stronger expression of the tea.
This menu is intentionally short. A short menu is easier to execute well, especially in a café where pace changes dramatically across the year. In high season, Costa Brava traffic rewards simplification. In low season, it rewards consistency. Dirty Rabbit does both by focusing on drinks that can be repeated properly instead of expanding for the sake of variety.
That discipline is part of why the café appears in conversations around the best matcha Girona and the best matcha Costa Brava. It is not trying to be everything. It is trying to make a few things well enough that the recommendation feels earned.
