Strawberry Matcha in Venice Beach

Strawberry Matcha is built in layers. House-made strawberry purée sits on the bottom of the cup, slightly on the thicker side and not overly sweet. Milk of your choice goes in next, then ceremonial-grade Kagoshima matcha from Japan made with Okumidori and Saemidori cultivars.

How it is built

The strawberry purée is made in house and placed at the bottom of the cup. It is intentionally a little thicker, so the drink has texture and a visible red layer under the milk and matcha.

House strawberry

The strawberry layer is slightly thick and not super sweet, so it reads like fruit instead of syrup.

Ceremonial-grade matcha

The matcha is ceremonial-grade Kagoshima matcha from Japan, made with Okumidori and Saemidori cultivars for color and clean flavor.

Milk choice

Choose the milk you like. The drink is built to stay creamy while still letting the strawberry and matcha stay clear.

How it feels

It feels bright, creamy, and layered. The strawberry brings fruit and texture, the milk softens the drink, and the matcha gives it a clean green finish.
