Guava Matcha Latte Trend
A Guava Matcha Latte is gaining steam as a spring café trend — it layers guava jam with creamy iced matcha for a bright, visually striking twist on the classic latte (recipe and write‑up published this week) (scrumdiddlyumptious.com). It’s an easy at‑home upgrade if you want fruity sweetness without losing matcha’s grassy depth — barista technique: cold foam and carefully whisked ceremonial matcha for the best texture (scrumdiddlyumptious.com).
Scrumdiddlyumptious published the guava matcha latte post under the byline Erika on March 26, 2026, and the page credits an AI-generated image by Midjourney while listing a 5‑minute cook time and “No ratings yet.” (scrumdiddlyumptious.com) The publisher’s broader platform includes a Scrumdiddlyumptious YouTube channel with about 2.22 million subscribers, giving its recipe posts substantial reach across social channels.

(heartyhomerecipes.com) TikTok creators have been testing variations: @matcha&sourdough uploaded a guava matcha video (captured with 31 likes in the listing), and @foodess_diaries’ September 25 post demonstrated a guava cold‑foam take while naming Marukyu Koyamaen’s “Yugen” matcha as the powder used. (tiktok.com) Recipe blogs have flagged specific ingredients and sources: a July 23, 2025 post on Ispillice singled out Trader Joe’s guava jam and said the author first encountered the combo at a local boba shop called Haiku Teahouse. (ispillice.com) Scrumdiddlyumptious has continued publishing matcha mashups — MSN recently ran a story on the site’s iced ube matcha latte rollout — signaling ongoing editorial emphasis on colorful matcha variations.
