Strawberry Matcha Latte
Ordering a latte at a boba shop seemed strange, but Gong Cha knew how to do it right.
This beverage can be served hot or on ice, and has a wonderful blend of matcha and strawberry flavors. The drink has a natural source of caffeine from matcha tea, so it is a great option if you want to start your day off with a kick. I enjoyed this refreshment because I am a huge fan of matcha green tea, and the fruitiness of the strawberry made this matcha latte even more special. Overall, Gong Cha executed this unique drink surprisingly well.
I ordered a large-sized cup and didn’t add any extra toppings, so the total came out to $6.75.
I don’t typically gravitate to sweet strawberry flavors, but the earthy taste of the matcha tea successfully leveled out the vibrant flavor of the strawberry syrup.
Unfortunately, the strawberry taste quickly blends into the matcha flavor, so you’ll need to be prepared to sip up this drink fast. Although the lack of diverse flavors was disappointing, the essence of the matcha green tea wasn’t tarnished.
I would rate the Strawberry Matcha Latte four-out-of-five e stars. This drink has a unique touch that will leave you energized and refreshed for the day ahead of you. However, you’ll need to be prepared to only taste the delicious strawberry flavor for a limited amount of time before it dissolves into the matcha.
