Our brand new tropical fruit mocktail tea powder is ground to Japanese specifications, so you get all the flavour of green matcha but none of the caffeine! We’ve used a superfuel-ed combination of baobab, lucuma & coconut nectar to keep this sweet treat healthy too!
How are we drinking it?
We LOVE this blend as an iced latte, with coconut milk of course! To make this at home, make your tea powder as normal then pour over ice & top up with coconut milk. Adding a cocktail umbrella, a slice of pineapple & a splash of rum or Malibu also turns this beaut into a sweet summer time cocktail without any of the calories!
Ingredients: Baobab fruit pulp, coconut nectar sugar, lucuma, lemon peel, natural flavouring granules.

A new tea powder from Bird & Blend I haven’t tried yet! I whisked it in coconut milk as a) that seemed appropriate and b) I really need to finish off this carton before it goes off.
The drink is very sweet, and I’m not sure how much of that is from the tea powder (coconut nectar sugar) and how much is from my coconut milk. Obviously I taste coconut (I mean… the milk) but oddly enough, the main flavor I’m getting from the powder itself is a guava/pear sort of taste. I see it is made with “Baobab fruit pulp” and “lucuma”, two things my uncultured tongue has never had before. A little research tells me baobab can be “citrusy”, “tangy pear”, or “sour mango”… I’m not really tasting citrus (wonder if the sweetness is countering the tang?) but maybe that is the tropical pear note I’m getting? Lucuma is also apparently very sweet! But I was expecting pinapple, because… pina colada! And I’m not tasting pinapple. It does taste tropical, but I’m still a little disappointed. The texture is also a bit chalky/grainy, which I also experienced with B&B’s rooibos-base tea powder, so I’m wondering if this something I’m going to consistently experience with their “not-matcha” powders. I don’t recall having this issue with any of their matcha base powders…
After sampling, I put the latte into a mango smoothie and blended it up. That takes care of the texture issues, at least! Oddly enough, I am finding more citrus notes popping in the smoothie (a tangy lemon?), but I still taste that “tropical pear” flavor, and am not tasting pineapple, which is what I was really hoping for.
Flavors: Citrus, Guava, Lemon, Pear, Sweet, Tangy, Tropical
I wanted to like this iced latte that I had on Matcha Monday weeks ago. Bird and Blend recommends this as an iced latte with coconut milk and I can see how that could be better. Unfortunately with plain milk, this is too strongly tasting of powder and artificial flavor. I am not a fan.
Made this one yesterday morning as an iced coconut milk latte! It was just nice and mellow with a sweet tropical tang to it. Obviously tasted like coconut because, well, coconut milk but with the fresh fruity pop of flavours and that thick creaminess of the coconut milk it was the perfect light and refreshing pina colada to sip on while I tried very, very hard to ignore the snow outside.
