🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Matcha
-
Sift 2 tsp (4 g) of matcha into your Chawan using the Furui (Sifter).
-
Add 120 ml (4 oz) of hot water (~77 °C / 170 °F).
-
Whisk briskly in a “W” motion with your Chasen until fully dissolved and slightly frothy.
-
Let cool for 1–2 minutes.
2️⃣ Blend the Mango
-
In a blender, add mango chunks, cold water (or coconut water), and sweetener (if desired).
-
Blend until smooth and creamy.
-
For a thicker texture, use frozen mango pieces.
3️⃣ Combine and Layer
-
Fill glasses halfway with ice cubes.
-
Pour the mango blend first.
-
Then slowly pour the cooled matcha over the mango base — pour gently to create a two-tone layered look.
-
The result: bright gold on the bottom, vivid green on top — pure tropical calm.
4️⃣ Stir Before Drinking
-
Use a straw or spoon to mix lightly before sipping.
-
The combination of sweet mango and earthy matcha will balance beautifully.
🌸 Pro Tips for a Perfect Matcha Mango Drink
-
Use ripe, juicy mangoes for natural sweetness.
-
Cool the matcha before layering to prevent melting the ice.
-
Coconut water adds subtle sweetness and electrolytes.
-
For extra froth: Blend a splash of oat milk into the matcha before layering.
-
Serve immediately to preserve the colors and foam.
🥭 Flavor Variations
-
Coconut Matcha Mango: Use coconut milk instead of water for a creamy twist.
-
Spicy Tropical: Add a small pinch of ginger or cayenne for warmth.
-
Frozen Matcha Mango Slush: Blend ice with both layers for a refreshing frozen version.
-
Minty Mango Matcha: Add mint leaves for an herbal coolness.
-

🧽 Cleaning and Care
-
Rinse your Chawan, Furui, and Chashaku immediately after use.
-
Clean the blender with warm water and a drop of lemon juice for freshness.

Always store your matcha in an airtight tin away from light and heat.
