What strawberry matcha is, how layered strawberry matcha lattes are usually made, and our two strawberry matchas in Shoreditch, hot or iced.
A strawberry matcha latte is a drink lots of people search for, and it's easy to see why: it's bright, it photographs well and it works hot or iced. Here's what a strawberry matcha is, how layered strawberry matcha drinks are usually put together, and where to try our two strawberry matchas in Shoreditch.
What is strawberry matcha?
Strawberry matcha is matcha, powdered green tea, combined with a strawberry flavour and usually milk. You'll find it in two main styles: as a ready-flavoured drink, or as a layered drink where a strawberry layer sits under milk and a green layer of matcha. Either way it's still a matcha latte at heart, just with strawberry added.
How layered strawberry matcha drinks are typically made
The layered version you see in photos usually follows the same basic pattern:
- Strawberry at the bottom. A spoonful or two of strawberry purée, mashed strawberries or strawberry syrup goes into the glass first.
- Ice and milk. For an iced drink the glass is filled with ice, then cold milk is poured in slowly so it sits above the strawberry.
- Matcha on top. Matcha is whisked separately with a little water until smooth, then poured gently over the milk, so it floats as a green layer.
- Stir before drinking. The layers are for looks; stirring mixes the flavours together.
A hot version usually skips the layers: the strawberry flavour, steamed milk and matcha are mixed in the cup. If you'd like to make the matcha part at home, see how to make a matcha latte at home.
Hot or iced?
Iced is the classic way to drink strawberry matcha, especially in warmer months, and it's the version that shows off the colours. Hot works well too on a cold morning. At Kybelle you don't have to choose in advance: every matcha we serve can be made hot or iced.
Our two strawberry matchas
We serve two, both made with PerfectTed matcha and both £4.50:

Want it with a plant milk? Oat, almond, coconut or soya is 30p extra. Prefer something else fruity? Try the Mango Matcha or the Blueberry Matcha.
What to eat with it
