If you love mangoes and you love matcha, this one’s for you. Think of it as sunshine in a glass—with earthy notes from Tea Trunk’s ceremonial grade matcha, layered beautifully with the golden sweetness of ripe mangoes. This tropical iced latte is refreshing, energising, and just a little indulgent—the kind of drink that makes summer feel special.
What you’ll need:
-
1 tsp Tea Trunk Matcha
-
1/4 cup warm (not boiling) water
-
1/2 cup ripe mango puree (fresh or unsweetened canned)
-
3/4 cup cold milk (dairy or any plant-based milk—almond or oat work beautifully)
-
Ice cubes
-
Optional: a pinch of cardamom or a few fresh mint leaves for garnish
-
Optional sweetener: honey or maple syrup (if your mangoes aren’t very sweet)
Start by preparing your matcha. Add 1 teaspoon of Tea Trunk matcha to a bowl and pour in the warm water. Whisk briskly using a bamboo whisk or a handheld frother until frothy and lump-free. This is your green energy layer. Next, in a separate cup or jug, blend the mango puree with cold milk. You can add a pinch of cardamom here if you like a little spice—it complements both the mango and matcha beautifully. Taste the mango-milk mixture and adjust sweetness if needed.
Now take a tall glass, fill it with ice cubes, and pour in the mango milk first—this gives you that creamy, sunny base. Then, slowly pour the matcha over the back of a spoon onto the mango layer to get that signature layered latte effect. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, a tiny slice of mango, or even a sprinkle of matcha on top for flair.
The result? A drink that feels like a tropical vacation in a glass. It's cool, fruity, slightly earthy, and totally delicious. Plus, you get all the health benefits of matcha—calm energy, antioxidants, and clarity—with the joy of mango season packed in. The Mango Matcha Latte is perfect as a mid-morning pick-me-up, a post-lunch refresher, or even a sweet afternoon treat without the sugar crash. Give it a try—and thank us later!
