Strawberry Matcha

$6.50

Real macerated strawberries, ceremonial matcha, oat milk over ice. Photogenic and genuinely delicious.

Strawberry matcha is our top-selling seasonal drink. Real strawberries macerated overnight with a small amount of cane sugar (not syrup, not artificial flavoring), topped with 4g of ceremonial-grade matcha whisked fresh, oat milk, and ice. The color happens naturally, the strawberry compote settles at the bottom, matcha layers on top. Available spring through early summer while strawberries are in season locally.

How to drink it

The layers are what makes this drink. Take a sip through a straw and you'll get a mix of the strawberry compote from the bottom and the matcha-milk layer from the top. Stir it together if you want a uniform pink-green color. Both approaches work.

What makes ours different

Real strawberries, not syrup. Most cafes making a 'strawberry matcha' pour a bright pink strawberry syrup and call it a day. Ours starts with actual berries, we macerate them overnight with cane sugar so they break down into a compote. The color is muted pink, not neon; the flavor is real fruit, not candy.

Seasonality

Strawberry matcha runs March through June, when strawberries are actually in season and worth the price. Off-season we don't fake it with frozen fruit or syrup, we rotate to other seasonal drinks (rose matcha in winter, lavender-honey matcha in fall, matcha lemonade in summer). The seasonal rotation is one reason regulars keep coming back.

Milk pairing

Oat milk is the default and what most customers choose. Almond milk works if you want the strawberry more forward. Whole milk makes the drink richer but slightly heavier. Coconut milk is not recommended for this drink, the flavors clash.

Frequently Asked

What's in a strawberry matcha at Café Mia?

Real macerated strawberries (strawberries + cane sugar, prepared overnight), 4g ceremonial-grade matcha whisked fresh, oat milk (or your choice), and ice. No syrup, no artificial flavoring, no HFCS.

Is strawberry matcha available year-round?

No, we run it seasonally, roughly March through early June, while strawberries are actually in season. In other seasons we rotate to rose matcha (winter), lavender-honey matcha (fall), or matcha lemonade (summer year-round).

How much is a strawberry matcha at Café Mia?

$6.50 for a 16oz iced strawberry matcha with your choice of plant or dairy milk. No upcharge for oat, almond, or coconut milk. Slightly more than our standard matcha latte because of the fresh strawberry prep.

Can I order strawberry matcha for delivery?

Yes, via GrubHub or DoorDash when it's in season. Note that the layers may mix in transit; the drink still tastes the same, just less photogenic.

Is strawberry matcha very sweet?

Medium sweet, mostly from the fresh strawberries, less than a typical flavored coffee drink. Ask for less sugar in the macerated berries if you want it tarter.
