The Best Matcha Milk Tea: A Deliciously Green Guide

If you’ve been hitting up the best boba tea shops, you’ve definitely seen matcha milk tea on the menu – and if you haven’t tried it yet, what are you even doing? This green drink has taken the boba world by storm and for a darn good reason.

It’s creamy, slightly sweet, and packed with all the earthy goodness of matcha. If you’re curious (and a little late to the matcha party), let’s break down why matcha milk tea should be your next go-to order.

Why Matcha Milk Tea is a Must

Combine the benefits of matcha tea with the creamy sweetness of milk, and you’ve got yourself a matcha milk tea. You can find it at all the best boba tea shops, and if it’s not on your list of favorites yet, it’s definately about to be.

The bold, slightly bitter taste of matcha pairs perfectly with your choice of milk – whether that’s regular dairy or something plant-based like almond or oat milk. The result? A matcha milk tea that is both refreshing and comforting, with the added fun of those chewy boba pearls. Plus, it’s a nice break from the usual taro or classic milk tea (and let’s be real, you could use a little variety).

Picking the Right Milk for Your Matcha Milk Tea

The beauty of matcha milk tea is that you can totally customize it, and it all starts with the milk. Regular milk is great, but why not explore some alternatives?

• Almond milk adds a slightly nutty flavor, making your matcha extra rich.
• Oat milk is creamy and a little sweet; it balances out the bold matcha.
• Coconut milk not only cuts the bitterness but also makes your drink extra smooth.
• Cashew milk is super creamy and perfect if you want a little indulgence.
• Soy milk is a classic choice for a smooth, dairy-free option.

The possibilities are endless, and no matter which one you choose, it’ll taste just amazing. Most boba tea shops let you pick your milk, so don’t be afraid to experiment and find your perfect match(a).

Customizing Your Matcha Milk Tea

Feeling a bit picky? You can totally personalize your matcha milk tea to make it just right. Sweetness levels, temperature, toppings -you name it, the best boba tea shops have it all for you.

Sweetness 

Want it super sweet or barely there? Adjust the sugar level of your matcha milk tea to your liking. Our recommendation? A dash of honey or agave works wonders.

Hot or cold 

Cold matcha milk tea is a classic, but try it hot for a cozy winter treat.

Toppings

Classic tapioca pearls are a must, but you can mix it up with jelly or popping boba for a twist.

Whatever you decide, your matcha milk tea is fully customizable, so make it as fancy or as simple as you like!

Where to Find the Best Matcha Milk Tea

Luckily, you won’t have to search far. Matcha milk tea is a staple at every decent boba tea store. From trendy cafes to your favorite boba hangout, this drink is a must-try wherever you go. If you’re feeling fancy, get the matcha milk tea with extra toppings, and snap that perfect photo for your Instagram feed – because yes, it’s that pretty.

So, next time you’re in the mood for something creamy, green, and downright delicious, order yourself a matcha milk tea. You won’t regret it.
