What connects red matcha with traditional Japanese tea? 🍵
Although the name might suggest it, Mary Rose Red Matcha Alternative is not tea. So where does this intriguing reference come from? This product gained its name due to its powdered form and a similar, almost ritualistic method of preparation. Instead of ground tea leaves, the base here is a carefully selected, freeze-dried strawberry in powdered form. Freeze-drying is a process that allows for the maximum preservation of the flavour, intense aroma, and valuable nutritional values hidden in fresh fruits.
To make the beverage delight not only with its taste but also with a deep, saturated shade of red, the strawberry base has been supplemented with black carrot concentrate – a natural plant colour. The addition of a little citric acid perfectly breaks the sweetness of the strawberry, giving the whole a crisp, harmonious profile.
This fruity alternative is a great choice for those looking for caffeine-free drinks that are gentle on the body, as well as for anyone who values high aesthetics and the highest quality ingredients in their kitchen.

How to prepare a drink with Mary Rose Red Matcha Alternative? ☕
Preparing this fruity speciality requires very similar steps to brewing classic Japanese matcha tea. It is quick, simple, and satisfying.
- Pour about 4.3g of the product (which is approximately 3 level teaspoons) into a mug, bowl, or a traditional matchawan.
- Pour 100ml of warm water or your chosen milk (e.g. cow's milk or plant-based alternative) over the powdered strawberry.
- Using an electric milk frother or a bamboo chasen whisk, vigorously mix the whole thing until you achieve a smooth, uniform consistency.
- If you prefer sweeter flavours, add sugar, honey, or syrup to your liking. The formation of a fruity sediment at the bottom of the vessel is a natural phenomenon.
The product also yields wonderful results in a more café-style version. By mixing the strawberry powder with warm, properly frothed milk, you will obtain a delicate, photogenic Strawberry Latte. On hot summer days, we highly recommend the cold version – with the addition of ice cubes, you will create a perfect, refreshing beverage.
Recipe for a spectacular Strawberry Matcha Latte 🍓🍵
Create an Instagram-worthy beverage in your own home! The combination of freeze-dried strawberry from Mary Rose with classic green matcha tea guarantees excellent flavour and a stunning, multi-layered appearance. We present our variation – a recipe for an insanely colourful Strawberry Matcha Latte, with an incredibly fluffy, fruity foam right on top!
Ingredients needed:
- 1 teaspoon of Mary Rose classic green matcha (mixed with approx. 50 ml of warm water)
- 2 teaspoons of Mary Rose Red Matcha Alternative strawberry powder
- 150-200 ml of cold milk (cow's milk or a barista style plant-based alternative)
- your favourite sweetener (to taste)
- a large portion of ice cubes
Preparation instructions:
- Base preparation: froth the green matcha tea with warm water until a smooth consistency is achieved, and then pour the liquid into the bottom of a tall glass.
- Milky layer: fill the glass almost to the brim with ice and carefully pour in the cold milk, leaving a little room for the final layer of the beverage.
- Fruity cloud: in a separate vessel, thoroughly whisk the Red Matcha Alternative powder with the sweetener and a small amount of cold milk (approx. 50 ml) using an electric frother, until a thick foam is formed.
- Composition: gently transfer the whipped strawberry foam onto the very top of the beverage.
💡 Inspirations for those seeking original sensations: To enrich the composition with an additional layer and depth of flavour, place a mousse made from blended fresh strawberries at the very bottom of the glass before pouring in the green matcha tea. A great variation would also be to use coconut or oat milk with an addition of vanilla extract, which will perfectly enhance the natural sweetness of the fruits.
