Can you believe it’s already been 9 years since Mister first turned heads with its liquid nitrogen ice cream in Yaletown?
To mark the milestone, Mister has teamed up with the popular Paragon Tea Room for a limited-time Matcha Party, featuring 4 new ceremonial-grade matcha treats available from July 5 to August 5.
If you’ve been following Vancouver’s dessert scene, you know this isn’t the first time these two local brands have joined forces.
Their collab first began back in 2023 when Mister supplied matcha ice cream to Paragon’s YVR Airport cafe, and the partnership has only deepened since.
Now, they’re bringing their matcha magic downtown for a full-on summer celebration.
And they’re doing so with a flavour that the world has been going gaga over – matcha.
The anniversary menu is headlined by the Paragon Matcha Ice Cream – a rich, velvety scoop made with premium ceremonial matcha, available in a cup or cone exclusively at Mister’s Robson Street flagship store.
Also on the menu is a Dipped Matcha Bar, a no-fuss ice cream bar coated in matcha chocolate that delivers a concentrated hit of bold green tea flavour.
If you want something sippable, the Matcha Tea Latte Float blends oat milk tea latte with a hefty scoop of matcha ice cream for a drink-dessert hybrid that’s as photogenic as it is refreshing.
But the standout gotta be the Matcha Mango Sticky Rice Affogato, a cross-cultural stunner that pairs coconut sticky rice, mango vegan ice cream, and a ceremonial matcha shot poured over like an espresso.
It’s the kind of mashup that their anniversary deserves.
Every item on the menu features ceremonial matcha sourced from Kakegawa, Shizuoka, Japan, a region known for its centuries-old farming traditions and commitment to preserving biodiversity.
“The Matcha Party is a special way to mark nine years of Mister and our passion for crafting desserts that inspire joy and connection,” said Mister co-owner Michael Lai.
This matcha menu is available at Mister’s Robson location and Paragon Tea Room at CF Pacific Centre, though the Paragon Matcha Ice Cream is only sold at Mister.
So if you’re a matcha fan or a long-time Mister loyalist, this one’s for you.
