Madame Tiger Barista Tiger Nut Milk 1lt
Australia’s original tiger nut milk, formulated for coffee. Steams, froths, and doesn’t split when it hits the espresso. No seed oils, no gums, no emulsifiers. Nut free and dairy free.
Madame Tiger Barista Tiger Nut Milk is the coffee-first version of Australia’s original tiger nut milk. It’s been specifically formulated to perform in a café or home espresso setup - steaming to a silky microfoam, frothing without curdling, and sitting cleanly in the cup alongside espresso without the sour split that some plant milks develop when they hit hot acidic coffee.
Like the Original, it uses organic tiger nuts sourced from Mousso Faso, a predominantly female farming collective in Burkina Faso, West Africa - grown using only rainwater, without pesticides or synthetic chemicals. The base uses Australian extra virgin olive oil instead of the seed oils found in most commercial plant milks, with no gums, no emulsifiers, and no e-numbers.
Tiger nuts are tubers, not nuts - they’re related to sweet potatoes, not almonds or cashews. People with nut allergies can drink this where other “nut milks” are off the table.
The Barista version is lower in protein than the Original (no faba bean protein) and is optimised for hot coffee applications. For cold use - cereal, smoothies, baking - the Original is the better choice.
Madame Tiger is an independently owned, family-run Australian business. SBS Small Business Award winner.
