🍵 Caramel Matcha Latte with Coffee Jelly
Slow Living Aesthetic: The Elegant Blend of Matcha, Caramel, and Coffee Jelly
Don't rush. This is a "Whipped Cream Drink" designed to be savored slowly.
This beverage breaks the stereotype that matcha must pair with red bean. We reinterpret the Matcha Latte using the sweet logic of a Caramel Drink. The bittersweet caramel, the umami of matcha, and the Coffee Jelly at the bottom stack up to create a layered Coffee Jelly Drink that is as rich as a dessert.
Caramel Matcha Latte with Coffee Jelly is an Iced Matcha Latte designed specifically for texture lovers and matcha enthusiasts. We’ve given the classic Japanese matcha latte a Western soul, using the aroma of caramel to balance the slight bitterness of matcha, creating this rich and flavorful specialty.
The design philosophy of this drink revolves around "Richness" and "Healing":
1. Flavor Fusion: East Meets West
This is more than just an ordinary Matcha Latte. We introduce the sweet concept of a Caramel Latte, using caramel walling and drizzle to add a butterscotch-like depth to the fresh matcha. The "umami" of matcha and the "sweetness" of caramel blend perfectly in the mouth, delivering an unprecedented warm and smooth flavor.
2. Textural Layers: The Fun of Coffee Jelly Drink
To add fun to the drinking experience, we added Coffee Jelly at the bottom. This dark jelly layer not only visually anchors the Layered Drink, but also provides a hint of bitter coffee aroma and a chewy texture, perfectly bridging the smooth milk and matcha liquid.
3. Visuals & Ritual: The Ultimate Whipped Cream Drink
The topping is the soul of this drink. Dense Whipped Cream garnished with a classic Caramel Biscuit (Lotus Biscuit). This not only reinforces the visual theme of the Caramel Matcha Latte, but also invites customers to dip the biscuit into the cream and matcha first, enjoying a "eat first, drink later" slow-living ritual.
