the basic idea

A cloud is a soft, creamy layer that sits above or moves through the drink. It can be paired with milk, coconut water, fruit, or another base. As you sip, the cloud changes the texture and softens stronger flavors.

Unlike a standard matcha latte, every ingredient is not always mixed together at the start. The layers create different tastes from the first sip to the last.

what makes a good cloud

The cloud should be smooth and light enough to drink, not stiff like dessert topping. It should support the matcha instead of turning the cup into sugar and cream.

  • A smooth, pourable texture
  • Balanced sweetness
  • Enough structure to form a layer
  • A flavor that complements the tea

how to enjoy it

Try the first sip without stirring, then mix gently if you want a more even drink. There is no wrong way to enjoy it. The changing texture is part of the experience.
