SOSA
Leading international company in the creation and distribution of premium ingredients for gastronomy, pastry and modern cuisine, recognised for its innovation in textures, technique and culinary development.
The specialty coffee universe has evolved beyond espresso and flat white. Contemporary coffee shops have become laboratories of liquid creativity, where baristas explore unexpected combinations, striking visual techniques and flavor profiles that defy convention. In this context, cold beverages have gained undisputed prominence: fresh, versatile and photogenic, they have become the perfect canvas for experimentation.
This cold strawberry matcha drink is a proposal designed specifically for the Barista world . It combines our intense Matcha with a fruity Adamance strawberry sauce solution , layered to create a refreshing and visually spectacular treat. It’s not just a drink: it’s a sensory experience that appeals to the eye before it reaches the palate.
Matcha is much more than a passing trend in the world of beverages. This ground green tea, of Japanese origin, brings a unique flavor profile: vegetal, umami, slightly bitter and with a lingering sweet finish.
Our Taste Colour Matcha Tea “C” Bio is a high quality powdered extract, designed to deliver not only color, but also the maximum aromatic expression of matcha. Unlike lower quality commercial versions, where bitterness can dominate without nuance, our matcha maintains a balance between vegetal freshness and smoothness in the mouth, ideal for integration into beverages without the need for excessive sweeteners.
Adamance strawberry sauce has been created specifically for baristas. In the fast pace of a coffee shop, where every second counts, having ingredients that offer consistent flavor and aromatic balance without the need for complex preparations is critical. These sauces enhance the ingredients and complement the aromas of the coffee, working in both hot and cold beverages.
The strawberry sauce provides an intense fruity profile, sweet but not saturated, with just the right acidity to balance the sweetness and bring freshness. Itsdense texture allows it to settle to the bottom of the glass, generating that layered visual effect that characterizes Instagrammable drinks without the need for complicated techniques. You just pour it, drop it in and gravity does the rest.

One of the keys to this drink is its layered assembly. Prepared in a transparent glass, the drink becomes a visual spectacle: the intense red of the strawberry at the bottom, the creamy white of the milk in the center and the vibrant green of the matcha on the surface. When the customer inserts the straw and begins to drink, the layers gradually blend together, creating a gradient effect that evolves with each sip.
This cold strawberry and matcha drink is not an isolated proposal: it is a template that can be adapted to different customer profiles and times of the day. The sweetness level can be adjusted by reducing or increasing the amount of strawberry sauce. The dairy base can be changed to suit vegan preferences or lactose intolerance. An espresso shot can even be added for those seeking additional caffeine, creating a variant that fuses coffee, matcha and strawberry.
Contemporary mixology has learned something that pastry making has mastered for decades: the best flavor contrasts are not always the most obvious. Nutty Mandarin is the perfect demonstration of this premise: a cocktail where the floral and citrus freshness of mandarin and jasmine meets the toasted warmth of a hazelnut foam, creating a sensory profile […]
