What is matcha latte?

Before we move on to a detailed look at our new fruity and coconut series, it is worth explaining the basics. What exactly is this green drink that has taken the hearts of balanced-lifestyle lovers around the world by storm? Classic matcha latte, which is simply matcha with milk, is a carefully balanced combination of powdered green tea, warm or cold (usually frothed) cow's milk or plant-based drink, and a little delicate sweetness. This unique mix creates a velvety texture and a distinctive, very pleasant flavour profile.

Matcha – green tea in a special form

To fully appreciate this drink, we need to take a closer look at its main ingredient. Matcha is a finely powdered green tea whose roots and most famous production traditions come from Japan. Unlike regular loose-leaf infusions, when drinking matcha we consume whole tea leaves, specially grown and ground into a fine powder. It has an exceptionally deep, plant-based profile, a beautiful emerald colour and clearly noticeable umami notes. Traditional preparation of this drink is a true art and a deeply rooted, meditative ritual.

Matcha with milk – a milder version of green tea

A classic infusion made only with water can seem a little astringent, especially for people who are just starting their tea education. That is why milk-based variations have become so popular. Matcha with milk is a much milder, sweeter and very creamy alternative. Adding a milk base not only gives the drink a cosy, dessert-like character, but also softens the natural bitterness of green tea.

If you are interested in the details of traditionally preparing this drink from scratch, using a bamboo whisk called a chasen and a traditional bowl called a chawan, be sure to check out our other dedicated article: Matcha latte – what is it and how to make the perfect matcha with milk at home?

What makes Mary Rose mixes special?

The new Mary Rose matcha latte line is above all a nod to convenience, with no compromise on wonderful taste. In the range you will find carefully composed variants that delight with their authenticity and rich profile. The most important features of these products include:

Importantly, the unchanging heart of every composition is powdered green tea matcha. Its distinctive, plant-based profile has been skilfully balanced here to create a harmonious, smooth whole with the milk base and the fruit and coconut ingredients. This makes the ready-made mixes an excellent choice both for experienced green tea lovers and for people who are only starting their journey with this type of drink and are looking for slightly milder flavours.

Discover the variants of Mary Rose matcha latte

Now that you know the theory and why ready-made mixes are an excellent choice for convenience and saving time, it is time for the most enjoyable part – tasting! The line of flavoured matcha latte from Mary Rose includes three unique, carefully composed variants: Strawberry, Mango and Coconut. Each of them has a common, solid base of powdered green tea, but thanks to different additions it offers a completely different, special flavour profile. Let us take a closer look at them.

Strawberry Matcha Latte – fruity strawberry matcha

Strawberries and a creamy milk base are a classic, timeless combination that immediately brings to mind summer afternoons and carefree relaxation. And what if this familiar, dessert-like taste were enriched with a subtle, plant-based note of green tea? The result is an unusual, intriguing and very fresh composition.

Many people are afraid of their first contact with matcha because of its specific, slightly astringent and grassy character. Sweet fruit is a great way to get used to these notes and create a drink that is accessible to everyone, regardless of their experience in the world of tea.

🍓 Mary Rose Strawberry Matcha Latte

In the Strawberry Matcha Latte variant, the classic, plant-based astringency of the tea is perfectly balanced by the addition of freeze-dried strawberry powder. Thanks to the freeze-drying process, the fruit keeps the full natural taste and aroma. This makes the strawberry matcha latte stand out with a very fruity, slightly dessert-like character that instantly lifts your mood.

• ✔️ Instant preparation, hot or cold.
• ✔️ A great idea for starting your journey with powdered green tea.
• ✔️ A harmonious, dessert-like taste with a touch of summer freshness.

This variant is an ideal choice for people who are just entering the world of green tea and are looking for a mild, accessible profile. The presence of fruit means that the natural bitterness of the tea moves into the background, giving way to pleasant sweetness. You can serve this drink hot as an afternoon ritual to relax and put yourself in a good mood for the rest of the day – but it works just as well in a chilled version as a strawberry Iced Matcha Latte.

Mango Matcha Latte – an exotic flavour

If you prefer flavours that bring to mind distant, tropical islands and constant sunshine, the next proposal from Mary Rose will surely appeal to you. Mango is a very juicy fruit full of natural sweetness, which goes perfectly with distinctive, deep teas.

The combination of emerald matcha with the cheerful, exotic note of mango creates a real symphony in the cup. It is a great compromise for those who are looking for a little refreshment in their daily diet and a bold break from classic, well-known flavour patterns.

🥭 Mary Rose Mango Matcha Latte

The key to the success of the Mango Matcha Latte variant is the harmonious combination of powdered green tea leaves with freeze-dried mango and a natural aroma from this fruit. This mango matcha latte is a drink with a very rich, tropical character. Each portion is a perfect balance between pleasant, fruity sweetness and a delicate, grassy finish.

• ✔️ A distinctive, exotic flavour profile.
• ✔️ In the iced version it works perfectly as a refreshing drink on warm days.
• ✔️ It adds variety to your daily diet and breaks the routine.

It is worth remembering that the refreshing mango matcha latte is a variant that works especially well when served very cold. It quenches thirst and gives pleasant, fruity flavour experiences during the hottest months of the year. A few ice cubes are enough to completely change the character of this drink!

Coconut Matcha Latte – matcha with coconut

The last option, but without doubt just as wonderful, is a real nod to lovers of maximally creamy, velvety and enveloping flavours. Coconut and green tea are a culinary duo that has long been winning the hearts of regulars in the best cafés around the world.

The secret of this combination lies in skilfully balancing opposites. The deeper, plant-based notes of tea meet the smooth, almost dessert-like profile of coconut. Now this harmonious, café-style luxury is within easy reach, ready to be prepared in your own kitchen.

🥥 Mary Rose Coconut Matcha Latte

What definitely sets the Coconut Matcha Latte composition apart from the others is the special addition of coconut milk powder. It gives the drink a delicately exotic taste and a very smooth, creamy texture. Powdered matcha with coconut milk creates a very mild, unobtrusive whole in which umami notes blend with the natural sweetness of coconut.

• ✔️ The creamiest and most velvety in the whole line.
• ✔️ A subtle, exotic profile without dominant bitterness.
• ✔️ An excellent addition to home-made layered desserts.

This particular variant is an absolute staple in the home pantry for everyone looking for a very mild composition and for committed fans of coconut variations. It works perfectly on lazy weekend mornings, when you feel like a little well-deserved relaxation and a break from the daily rush.

What does Mary Rose matcha latte contain?

The secret of the perfect taste and convenience of our new products lies in their well-thought-out recipe. Each pack is a carefully balanced composition in which no element is there by accident. Although the ready-made flavoured matcha from this line shares a common base, the exact composition differs depending on the chosen variant, to best express the character of the given fruit or nut.

Matcha and the ingredients responsible for flavour

The most important element of every mix is, of course, matcha green tea. It is the foundation of the drink, giving it a beautiful, greenish colour and a distinctive, slightly grassy profile with a subtle note of umami. Thanks to the traditional cultivation process, in which the tea bushes are shaded before harvest, the leaves take on a deep colour and gather unique compounds. In the ready-made Mary Rose matcha latte compositions, this distinctive tea character goes very well with the sweeter accents, creating a balanced whole that does not overwhelm with natural bitterness.

To soften the natural astringency of the tea and create delightful, dessert-like compositions, special flavour additions have been combined with the base:

• 🍓 Freeze-dried strawberry powder – in the Strawberry variant it is responsible for summery, cheerful freshness and a naturally fruity, slightly sweet profile.
• 🥭 Freeze-dried mango and natural aroma – in the Mango variant they create a very juicy, exotic and distinctive bouquet that immediately brings to mind a tropical holiday.
• 🥥 Coconut milk powder – in the Coconut variant it brings a delicately exotic, deep and enveloping taste to the cup.

The use of real fruit that has undergone freeze-drying and of full-flavoured coconut milk is a deliberate choice in favour of nature. Thanks to this, you can be sure that the intriguing colours and flavours in your cup are not the result of artificial colourings or chemical enhancers, but of authentic, plant-based ingredients. This is what makes every variant of Mary Rose flavoured matcha offer a completely different, multidimensional sensory experience.

Creamy texture and delicate sweetness

The perfect matcha with milk is not only about taste, but above all about the right, fluffy texture. So that the powder instantly turns into a thick and velvety drink after mixing with water, the composition includes skimmed milk powder. It is responsible for the famous café-style effect, removing the need to add your own milk from a carton. Thanks to this solution, preparing a perfect latte is possible in any conditions – in the office, on a trip or in a morning rush. A little water is enough for the milk base to release its full creaminess and create an appetising foam on the surface. It is a great help for people who value maximum convenience, but do not want to compromise on their favourite drinks.

The Mary Rose brand has also given up classic white sugar in favour of organic coconut sugar. It provides a delicate, unobtrusive sweetness with a noticeable, pleasantly caramel note that softens the bitterness of tea very well. Sugar obtained from coconut palm buds has a much richer, multidimensional flavour profile than traditional, refined sweeteners. Its warm aroma ties together the plant-based notes of green tea with the fruit or nut additions, creating a coherent, dessert-like composition in the cup. What is more, choosing a certified, organic raw material is a conscious step towards a more natural and balanced diet.

How to make Mary Rose matcha latte?

Are you wondering how to make the perfect drink in the comfort of your home? It is very simple! The ready-made Mary Rose matcha latte bases have been created with maximum convenience and time saving in mind. To enjoy the full taste, you only need about 15g of powder (that is 3 small, heaped teaspoons) and 200ml of water. Importantly, the flavoured matcha from this series mixes well with liquids at different temperatures. You can use either warm water (at an optimal temperature of 60-70°C) or completely cold water, depending on which variant you feel like having.

Hot matcha latte – a simple recipe

This is the classic and fastest way to make a warming, cosy drink that works well in the morning or during an afternoon of relaxing with a book. Preparation will take you literally a moment:

1. Prepare the water: Pour 200ml of warm water into your favourite cup (make sure it is not boiling water – a temperature of 60-70°C will keep the best taste of the tea).
2. Add the base: Add 3 small, heaped teaspoons of powder.
3. Mix: Use a handheld milk frother or a traditional bamboo whisk called a chasen. Stir vigorously until the ingredients combine well with the water, creating a delicate foam on the surface.
4. Personalise your drink (optional): Your matcha with milk is already ready to drink and very creamy. However, if you like even milkier drinks, feel free to add a little warm, frothed cow's milk or your favourite plant-based drink (for example oat or almond) at the end.

Iced matcha latte – cold version

On warmer days, the iced version is an ideal choice. The especially exotic Mango Matcha Latte works very well as a fruity, highly refreshing iced latte, effectively quenching thirst. How to make it?

1. Prepare a concentrate: Add 15g of powder to a small amount of water (warm or cold) and mix thoroughly to create a thicker, lump-free base.
2. Add ice: Fill a tall glass to the top with ice cubes.
3. Combine the ingredients: Pour cold water, milk or a plant-based drink into the glass (up to about 3/4 of the height of the glass).
4. Add the matcha: At the very end, slowly pour in the green base prepared earlier. Done!

Colourful, layered matcha latte – a café effect in your home

On its own, flavoured matcha mixed with water takes on a uniform, pale green shade, resulting from the combination of natural tea and milk. However, if you want your drink to look like a real work of art – exactly like the multi-layered proposals served in the best cafés (and to look great in photos!) – you can easily enrich the basic recipe.

Use the structure of the cold drink and create attractive, appetising layers by using simple additions at the bottom of the glass. Here are a few ideas that will change the look of your drink:

• 🍓 “Strawberry love”: Put 2-3 tablespoons of smooth fresh strawberry purée or good-quality jam at the bottom of a tall glass. Fill with plenty of ice, pour in oat milk, and slowly pour the concentrated base prepared from the Strawberry Matcha Latte mix over the top. You will get a beautiful transition from deep red, through white, to green!
• 🥭 “Tropical wave”: Blend pieces of ripe mango into a smooth purée. Place it at the bottom of the glass, add ice and coconut drink, and top it all off with the base prepared from the mango variant.
• 🥥 “Fluffy coconut cloud”: Prepare a classic cold latte using the coconut variant. On the very top, add a thick layer of well-whipped coconut cream (or regular 30% cream). Sprinkle it all with a little chopped fresh mint, desiccated coconut or a little dry matcha powder for a wonderful visual contrast.

This kind of experiment is great fun and proof that a ready-made matcha latte base from Mary Rose gives you unlimited culinary possibilities!

Which Mary Rose flavoured matcha should you choose?

The choice of variant depends only on your personal preferences. Each flavoured matcha has its own unique character, so we have prepared a short hint to help you make the final decision.

• ➡️ Strawberry Matcha Latte: This is an ideal choice for fans of fruity, mild and classic combinations. Strawberry gives the drink a light, dessert-like and very pleasant taste. It will be an excellent option if you are looking for subtle sweetness that effectively balances the grassy profile of green tea.
• ➡️ Mango Matcha Latte: A proposal made for lovers of exotic, sunny notes. Mango brings cheerful refreshment and distinctive, tropical sweetness to the cup. This variant works especially well as a fruity, cooling Iced Matcha Latte on warm afternoons.
