Tierra Mia Tea Lattes Menu & Prices
The Tierra Mia tea lattes menu is where stone-ground Japanese matcha and spiced black-tea chai meet steamed milk — eight drinks from a flat $4.50, available hot or iced, with fruit-forward twists you will not find at a national chain.
Tea latte picks
Tea, not coffee, with steamed milk
A Tierra Mia tea latte swaps espresso for a tea base — either whisked green-tea matcha or a spiced black-tea chai concentrate — then folds in steamed milk for the same creamy body you expect from a latte. The result is smoother and less acidic than a coffee drink, with a gentler caffeine curve.
Two pillars anchor the menu. The Tierra Mia matcha latte builds on shade-grown green tea ground into a fine, vivid powder; the chai tea latte leans on cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and clove steeped into black tea. Around them sit fruit editions — strawberry and blueberry matcha — plus the cafe’s signature crossover, the Matcha Horchata Latte.
Every tea latte starts at a flat $4.50, with fruit and specialty builds at $4.75–$4.95 — a fair price for a hand-whisked, made-to-order drink.
The two tea lattes that define the menu
Matcha Horchata Latte
This is the drink fans send first-timers to try. Earthy whisked matcha meets cinnamon-sweet rice-milk horchata, so the grassy edge of green tea is softened by warm spice and vanilla. It is the clearest expression of the cafe’s Latino-inspired identity — a green-tea latte that tastes unmistakably like Tierra Mia.
Chai Tea Latte
A proper chai tea latte built on black tea steeped with cinnamon, cardamom, clove and ginger, then balanced with steamed milk. It carries real spice warmth rather than a flat sweetness, and it is the natural pick for anyone who wants a tea latte with a little more backbone and a familiar, comforting profile.
What is matcha — and how does it compare to coffee?
Matcha is shade-grown green tea leaf stone-ground into a fine powder, then whisked into liquid so you drink the whole leaf rather than a steeped infusion.
Steady, not spiky
A matcha latte carries roughly 60–70 mg of caffeine per serving — less than a double-shot latte. Paired with L-theanine, it releases more gradually, so there is no sharp crash.
Vegetal and smooth
Where coffee is roasted and bitter, matcha is grassy, slightly sweet and creamy. Steamed milk rounds it further, which is why a matcha latte appeals to people who find coffee too harsh.
Naturally vivid green
The bright jade color comes from chlorophyll in shade-grown leaves — no dye. A dull or yellow-green cup usually signals lower-grade powder.
Should you order your tea latte hot or iced?
Every Tierra Mia tea latte can be served hot or iced for the same price. The strawberry and blueberry matcha lattes are even listed both ways — here is how to choose.
For spice and comfort
Heat pushes the aromatics forward. A hot chai tea latte releases more cinnamon and clove, and a hot matcha latte tastes rounder and creamier. Best in cooler months or as a slow morning drink.
For fruit and refreshment
Cold mutes bitterness and lets fruit shine, so the iced strawberry matcha latte is brighter and crisper over ice. The default choice for warm Southern California afternoons.
The fruit-infused matcha lattes
Tierra Mia layers real fruit flavor into its matcha base — a modern twist that turns an earthy green-tea latte into something bright and dessert-like.
Strawberry Matcha Latte
Sweet strawberry layered against jade matcha — a two-tone drink that tastes as good as it looks. Offered hot or iced at $4.95.
Blueberry Matcha Latte
Jammy blueberry rounds out the grassy matcha edge for a softer, fruitier cup. Available hot or iced, also $4.95.
Matcha Horchata Latte
Not fruit, but the same idea — cinnamon horchata sweetens matcha into the menu’s signature crossover at $4.75.
Milk choices and customizing a tea latte
Small adjustments change a tea latte completely. These are the requests baristas hear most.
Switch to oat milk
Oat milk adds a gentle sweetness and keeps the cup dairy-free — it pairs especially well with matcha.
Ask for less sweet
Request fewer pumps of syrup to let the true tea flavor — grassy matcha or warm chai — come through.
Add a matcha scoop
An extra scoop deepens both color and caffeine without making the latte taste bitter.
Try a dirty chai
Ask staff to add a shot of espresso to a chai tea latte for a spiced, coffee-boosted hybrid.

The Matcha Pumpkin Spice Latte
Each fall, Tierra Mia merges two crowd-pleasers into the Matcha Pumpkin Spice Latte — whisked green-tea matcha blended with warm pumpkin-pie spice and steamed milk. It is the menu’s answer to autumn: earthier and less sugary than a standard pumpkin spice drink, with matcha keeping the sweetness in check.
It is a limited-time pour at $4.95, served hot or iced. If you only try one seasonal tea latte, this is the one — and like all seasonal items, it rotates off when the season ends, so catch it while it lasts.
What makes the Tierra Mia tea latte menu special
Real whisked matcha
Stone-ground green-tea powder whisked to order — not a pre-sweetened syrup — for a true matcha latte.
A Latino twist
The Matcha Horchata Latte fuses green tea with horchata — a crossover no national chain offers.
Hot or iced, one price
Every tea latte costs the same hot or iced, so you order by mood and weather, not budget.
Best pan dulce to pair with a tea latte
Buttery almond cream is a classic match for the clean, grassy notes of matcha.
Cinnamon on cinnamon — the chai spice and churro sugar reinforce each other.
Bright berry and tart guava make a lively, fruit-forward pairing.
