Watermelon Matcha

A refreshing, layered summer cooler of fresh strained watermelon juice topped with vibrant ceremonial whisked matcha.

Crisp, juicy watermelon is blended and strained until silky smooth, then poured over ice and topped with a floating layer of warm, whisked matcha. The vibrant green matcha layers over the bright pink juice for an energising, antioxidant-rich cooler that looks as stunning as it tastes.
