The straw(berry) that broke the internet’s back – and she’s showing no signs of leaving!
From winter warmers to first sights of spring sips, we’re leaning into the Brat Green x Strawberry Matcha Machine. This blushing berry has shaken off her shy, sweet strawberry shortcake persona just in time for Leo season.
Whether your matcha preference is pale and pastel soft sage or brat-girl green, there’s no denying the matcha trend is going from strength to strength (pun intended). The latest fruitful iteration taking over our feeds with a frenzy has seen the addition of sweet strawberry goodness from syrups to pulps to strawberry milks lending an ombre effect to this hot health elixir.
From super sweet to super mild, iced cold drinks or steaming sweet brews, this strawberry-tinged grass green hue is being tweaked into all sorts of treats from tarts to croissants to cookies and more.
In a tried-and-true demonstration of things that grow together, go together, the grassy green notes of matcha meld magically with the bright burst of strawberry in a symphony of bright notes of nature.
So just why has this liquid libation drawn such a swift and sharp cult following?
A for Aesthetics: Whether it’s a gentle blend of pastel pink into soft sage green, or a vibrant Italian flag-esque layering of brat-girl green, white and ripe ruby red, this colourful concoction is a blended beauty made to be displayed in clear glass drinkware for optimal exposure.

Taste Wise: Not everyone is a matcha lover, so the added sweetness of strawberry pulp is a gentle gateway into this grassy-noted beverage, especially if you’re trying to reduce your caffeine intake (us, never!)
Cool Factor: Keeping up with the latest in café culture has become a (bougie) badge and one we’re proud to keep chasing. With our social feeds saturated by mukbangs and WIEIAD’s, keeping up with the latest and tastiest trends has become a rite of passage.
Dopamine on a Dime: We all know purse strings are a little tight at the moment, so tasty treats that don’t break the budget are the easiest way to get our cheap thrills. A daily iced makes us feel alive while keeping our finances intact.

Self-confessed coffee queen, it takes a lot to sway Mish away from her coffee loving ways. So much so that her strawberry matcha pick is in the shape of a sweet treat by way of Banksia Bakehouse’s Strawberry Matcha Brûlée Danish!
