— April 8, 2020 — Lifestyle
These McDonald’s Japan green tea dessert drinks have been unveiled by the QSR brand as a new range of indulgences that will offer patrons with a way to enjoy the classic tea in an alternative way.

The menu includes Matcha Latte, the Ice Matcha Latte, the Matcha Frappe and the Ichigo Shiratama Matcha Frappe, which are all infused with high-quality Uji matcha green tea. The products are each characterized by their sweet, creamy and slightly bitter flavor profile that are perfect for enjoyment on their own or as a dessert after a meal.

The McDonald’s Japan green tea dessert drinks will be available starting April 8 2020 and are only set to be around until mid-May to make them a springtime exclusive.
