Beverage
Banana Matcha Latte is a creamy and refreshing drink that combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the earthy, vibrant flavour of ceremonial-grade matcha. Smooth banana cream is blended with coconut milk, sugar, and a hint of cinnamon, creating a rich and aromatic base. Served over ice with a touch of extra virgin olive oil, the banana mixture is layered with freshly whisked matcha for a striking presentation and balanced taste. Finished with another layer of banana cream and an optional dusting of matcha, this unique latte is perfect for a refreshing morning drink, afternoon pick-me-up, or a delicious twist on a classic matcha beverage.
