Description

A close-up studio shot features a clear glass cup filled with a matcha latte. The latte has a vibrant green hue at the bottom, transitioning to a creamy white foam on top. A semi-translucent, irregularly shaped ice cube sits on the surface of the foam, surrounded by a small pool of matcha powder. The cup's handle is also clear, and the drink casts a soft, diffused shadow on the solid white background. The lighting is even and bright, highlighting the textures of the foam and the ice. The composition is clean and minimalist, drawing attention to the beverage.
