Matcha has gone from a niche coffee shop extra, to full-blown menu must-have. Once upon a time, it was the “green one” that only a few customers knew about.
Now?
Iced matcha lattes, strawberry matcha, mango matcha and blueberry matcha are popping up everywhere. Helped along by wellness trends, social media, and the fact they look brilliant in a clear cup in the hot weather.
Square reported over 1.6 million matcha drinks sold across the UK in June and July 2025 on their coffee shop till systems alone, so this isn’t just a passing green phase. So with June just around the corner, it’s time to get ready for the impulse trend of this Summer.
The good news for coffee shops, cafés and bars is that you don’t need to reinvent the menu to get involved. With our fantastic Matcha elixir from Alchemy, our clear 16oz plastic glasses and a few fruit purées or syrups, ANYONE can create eye-catching Matcha drinks in seconds.
Think Strawberry Iced Matcha Latte, Mango Matcha Cooler, Blueberry Matcha, or even Coconut Matcha over ice.
It’s an easy upsell, a strong summer serve, and a simple way to offer customers something that feels fresh, modern and...a little bit “ooh, I’ll have that.” 🧐
The TLDR - It’s green profit in a cup!
