Coconut Matcha Cloud

Jan 18, 2026

This Coconut Matcha Cloud is our favourite way to enjoy Hikari Ceremonial Grade Matcha when the weather calls for something cooling, mineral-rich, and quietly energising. Think crisp coconut water as the base, topped with a soft, creamy matcha cloud that feels indulgent yet light. It is not a latte. It is not overly sweet. It is a modern ritual drink that lets the quality of the matcha shine while offering natural hydration and sustained energy. Perfect for summer mornings, afternoon resets, or any moment you want clarity without heaviness.

Why hikari matcha?

Not all matcha is created equal, and when a recipe is this simple, the quality of the matcha matters.

 

Hikari Ceremonial Grade Matcha is finely stone-milled from carefully grown green tea leaves, producing a powder that is naturally vibrant, smooth, and balanced. Its flavour is soft and rounded, with gentle umami and minimal bitterness, making it ideal for cloud-style drinks where the matcha is fully experienced rather than masked.

 

We chose Hikari for this recipe because:

 

✦ It offers calm, sustained energy without the sharp peaks or crashes often associated with coffee

✦ Its naturally high L-theanine content supports focus and mental clarity while softening caffeine’s effects

✦ The flavour remains clean and refined even when aerated into a foam

✦ It pairs beautifully with coconut, enhancing freshness rather than overpowering it

 

In the Coconut Matcha Cloud, Hikari becomes the centrepiece. Light, luminous, and quietly energising, it transforms a refreshing drink into a ritual of clarity and presence.
