Matcha Meets Indulgence: Discover Tea Life's Matcha Vanilla & Matcha Strawberry Tea Lattes

Right now, matcha is huge, but what if you’re not a fan of the earthy flavour? Well, we’ve introduced our Matcha Vanilla Tea Latte and Matcha Strawberry Tea Latte to give matcha fans and those still on the fence about matcha the perfect balance of traditional Japanese matcha and cafe style sweetness.

We’ve combined authentic Japanese matcha with natural flavours, and both of our new blends are good to go, so you can whisk up a storm even if you’re short on time. Our matcha blends contain approximately 30mg of caffeine per serving, which is why we love them for winter.

If you’re looking for a gentle lift with a refreshing flavour this winter, then our newest matcha creations are a must try!

Why Matcha Continues to Grow in Popularity

Matcha is by far one of the biggest trends we’ve seen across all of our tea categories, and it’s become a bit of a favourite across the world. The unique taste, gorgeous colour, and incredible versatility make it an obvious pick for any tea lover looking to try something new.

Traditional green tea has its leaves steeped and removed, whereas matcha is made by finely grinding the whole green tea leaves into a power meaning you consume the entire leaf in an easy single cup.

We find that tea drinkers love matcha because it:

• Has a naturally earthy, smooth flavour

• Contains naturally occurring L-theanine and antioxidants

• Can be enjoyed hot or cold

• Works beautifully in recipes

• Fits easily into daily wellness routines

Matcha Vanilla Tea Latte

Our new Matcha Vanilla Tea Latte is the perfect mix of Japanese matcha and smooth vanilla, which helps to create a gorgeous, rich, and creamy drink designed to comfort you no matter what the weather does outside!

Our vanilla flavour is a little more subtle as we just wanted something to soften the grassier notes of matcha without masking it, making this a brilliant choice for newcomers and experienced matcha drinkers.

Our vanilla matcha is ideal for:

• Morning routines

• Afternoon pick-me-ups

• Cosy winter afternoons

• Homemade café-style lattes

If you’re dairy free, then we find our matcha latte blends work just as well with oat, almond, soy, and regular milk.

Matcha Strawberry Tea Latte

Prefer a fruit flavour? In that case, you’ll love our Matcha Strawberry Tea Latte. We find this blend to be a vibrant twist on a classic that’ll work just as well in summer as it does over the winter.

We’ve combined the earthy flavour of Japanese matcha with the natural sweetness of ripe strawberries to create a deliciously refreshing drink that works well both hot and iced.

It’s great for:

• Summer iced drinks

• Weekend brunches

• Afternoon refreshments

• Colourful entertaining
