Matcha green tea has surged in popularity and has become a staple at many cafes but often comes with a high cost, so the new Asda Matcha Latte Mixes have been developed to offer a cost-effective alternative for at-home enjoyment.
The matcha latte products are making their debut at the retailer as a private label product that comes with eight servings in each box. The mixes come in the Vanilla Flavor Matcha Latte and the Blueberry Flavor Matcha Latte, which are each priced at £1.70 to bring each serving in at just 21p. This comes as a much more affordable option when compared to high street coffee shop prices, which often come in at around £4.50 per serving.
The Asda Matcha Latte Mixes will arrive at participating locations starting May 4, 2026.
