These new Costa Coffee cups have been debuted in the UK to help coffee and tea fans alike start the spring off on the right foot. The cups come in two matcha-themed styles including the tumbler with straw and the travel cup, which are each characterized by their ombre color scheme that has a deep strawberry red base that blends into a matcha green upper. These color schemes are inspired by the Costa Coffee's Strawberry Coconut Iced Matcha Latte as a tie-in with its drink menu and are perfectly themed with the springtime in mind with locations receiving stock starting March 5, 2026.
The new Costa Coffee cups are a limited time offering that will only be around while stock lasts.
