Pink pitaya powder is an ingredient with immense culinary potential. You can use it to prepare a delicious water-based beverage or an exquisite milky latte. Pink Matcha also works perfectly as a completely natural food colouring for desserts, yoghurts, porridge, or nutritious smoothie bowls.
What is hidden inside Pink Matcha Alternative and how is it made? 💖
It is worth starting with an important distinction – Mary Rose Pink Matcha is not actually green tea. The word matcha used in the name is a reference to its powdered form (just like classic matcha tea) and the almost identical method of preparing the beverage (using a bamboo whisk). In reality, inside the packaging, you will find only pure, powdered fruit.
The secret behind the high quality of this product is the process of freeze-drying. It allows for the almost complete preservation of the intense colour, full aroma, and valuable nutritional values of fresh pitaya, without the need for high temperatures that destroy vitamins. Thanks to this, the pink powder is light, dissolves perfectly in liquids, and creates the desired, fluffy foam in the beverage.
Please note: pay attention to the small, black specks that might be visible in the powder and the finished drink. These are particles of natural dragon fruit seeds. They prove the authenticity of the product, are completely safe to consume, and may provide a gentle crunch whilst drinking.

How to prepare a beverage with Mary Rose Pink Matcha Alternative? ☕
Preparing a beverage from powdered dragon fruit is incredibly simple and almost identical to the method used for classic green matcha from Japan.
- Pour 1 level teaspoon of powder (approx. 2 g) into a bowl (e.g. a matchawan) or a mug.
- Pour 70-100 ml of warm water over the powder (remember not to use boiling water!).
- Thoroughly whisk everything together using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or an electric milk frother, until you achieve a smooth consistency without lumps and a light foam on the surface.
- Add more water for a milder taste or pour in your favourite milk to create a creamy, pink latte.
You will achieve the best flavour and visual effect by preparing a Pink Latte. Important: dragon fruit is naturally rich in vitamin C, which, when combined with traditional cow's milk, can cause it to curdle. That is why we recommend using plant-based alternatives – oat, coconut, or almond milk will work perfectly in this case.
If you expect a more distinct and intense flavour, increase the amount of powder according to your preferences – you can add an extra 1 teaspoon, or even 2 teaspoons more for a larger volume of the drink. Pink Matcha features a naturally delicate, fruity profile, so it is worth adjusting the proportions to suit your individual taste.
Recipe for a spectacular, two-tone Pink Matcha Latte 🌸
Do you want to feel like a home barista and surprise your loved ones with a drink that looks like a small piece of art? Utilise the contrast by combining powdered pink pitaya with traditional green matcha tea. It's very simple!
Ingredients needed:
- 1 level teaspoon of Mary Rose Pink Matcha
- 1 level teaspoon of classic green matcha tea
- approx. 200 ml of plant-based milk (e.g. oat milk)
- warm water for mixing the powders
- ice cubes
Preparation instructions:
- In two separate vessels, mix the Pink Matcha and the classic matcha with warm water. Use a chasen whisk or a milk frother to get rid of any lumps.
- Put ice cubes into a tall, transparent glass and pour in the plant-based milk.
- Pour a layer of green matcha over the milk in a very slow stream. Then, just as slowly, top up the drink with a layer of the pink pitaya cloud.
💡 Tip: For the colours to stand out clearly and not mix immediately, pour the subsequent layers of the drink slowly, over the back of a teaspoon or down the side of the glass.
Done! You have a stunning, artisanal beverage in your own home. Experiment, modify the proportions, and enjoy the wealth of natural flavours.

❓ FAQ – frequently asked questions about Mary Rose Pink Matcha Alternative
1. Does Pink Matcha contain caffeine?
No. Pink Matcha is a 100% fruit product (powdered pitaya) and does not contain green tea leaves. Thanks to the lack of caffeine, it is a great alternative that can be consumed at any time, even right before bedtime.
2. Why might Pink Matcha clump together?
The clumping of the powder is a completely natural phenomenon. This is due to the fact that it is a freeze-dried fruit, which strongly absorbs moisture from the surroundings, and moreover, contains natural fruit sugars. It does not affect the quality in any way. To minimise this occurrence, store the product tightly sealed in a cool place. If lumps do form, simply crush them with a teaspoon.
3. Why is plant-based milk recommended for preparing a dragon fruit latte?
Dragon fruit is naturally rich in vitamin C. The fruit acids reacting with the proteins present in traditional cow's milk can cause the drink to curdle (forming small lumps and separating). Using plant-based drinks, such as oat, coconut, or almond milk, completely solves this problem.
