What is Watermelon Matcha Tea?
This refreshing fusion brings together the juicy sweetness of watermelon and the earthy richness of traditional matcha. This innovative beverage offers a playful twist on classic green tea, delivering a vibrant flavour profile that’s both uplifting and satisfying.
Crafted using watermelon that has been carefully dried and ground, the blend is enhanced with matcha powder and natural watermelon flavours. Matcha itself is made by shade-growing young green tea leaves, which are then hand-picked, steamed to preserve their vibrant colour and nutrients, dried, and finely stone-ground into a smooth, bright green powder.
This meticulous process ensures a rich, earthy flavour and a boost of natural energy. Combined with the fruity essence of watermelon, the result is a refreshing and invigorating tea experience.

Tasting Notes
The initial taste is bright and juicy, with the natural sweetness of watermelon shining through, evoking the feeling of biting into a slice of perfectly ripe fruit. This fruity freshness is beautifully balanced by the earthy, slightly grassy undertones of green matcha, which add depth and a gentle, lingering umami finish.
When enjoyed as a latte, the addition of milk, whether dairy, almond, or oat, introduces a creamy texture that softens the matcha’s earthiness and enhances the watermelon’s sweetness. The result is a smooth, velvety drink with a harmonious blend of flavours, where the subtle nuttiness of plant-based milks can add an extra layer of complexity.
Served over ice, it becomes even more invigorating. The chilled temperature heightens the crispness of the watermelon and the refreshing qualities of the matcha, making each sip cool, lively, and revitalising.
