How a pistachio is built

Skip the story

This is pistachio

Ground pistachio nuts worked into a paste, syrup or cream for lattes, matcha and cold foams: nutty, sweet and pale green.

Drawn as a pistachio latte, the drink cafes most often put it in.

  1. Cold milk about 180 ml, stirred with a spoonful of pistachio paste
  2. Ice fills the cup before anything is poured
  3. Espresso a double shot, poured last so it sits on top
  4. Pistachio sauce smeared around the inside of the cup before it is filled
  5. Pistachio cream cream whipped with pistachio paste, about 2 cm
  6. Crushed pistachio a pinch over the top

How many people search for pistachio in Australia?

There were 720 searches for pistachio across Australia in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the months we have, from Jul 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 390 (Jul 2024) to 1,300 (May 2025). These are monthly estimates of search demand across every state and territory.

When did pistachio first show up in Australian cafes?

The earliest cafe post or customer review about pistachio that The Froth has, in any city we read, is from 5 Oct 2024. We only see what we collect, so that is when we first saw it, not when it started: it may have been sold earlier, here or elsewhere.

What is in a pistachio latte?

A typical pistachio latte, drawn from cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with crushed pistachio (a pinch over the top), pistachio cream (cream whipped with pistachio paste, about 2 cm), pistachio sauce (smeared around the inside of the cup before it is filled), espresso (a double shot, poured last so it sits on top), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and cold milk (about 180 ml, stirred with a spoonful of pistachio paste). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

How does The Froth count this?

Every city is counted on its own, with the same rules: a cafe counts for pistachio from the first public post or customer review we found about it, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. A city's share is of its own cafes we see well (an Instagram post or a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once), and its change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before. Cities' cafe figures are never added together, because we read some cities' posts and others only from reviews and menus. Searches are monthly search demand across Australia with all of a trend's names added up. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
