Costa rolls out matcha lattes
Costa Coffee’s spring menu just landed with new matcha lattes, Easter-themed treats and even a Matchilda plushie — a clear push to make matcha a mainstream seasonal staple in the UK this spring Costa spring menu.
Costa’s spring range hit stores across the UK and Ireland on March 5, 2026 [midlandsgazette.com]. The seasonal line-up adds a limited Cherry Vanilla Iced Matcha (a cherry‑and‑vanilla twist) to the menu [midlandsgazette.com], building on the January rollout that introduced a Hot Matcha, an Iced Matcha and a Strawberry Coconut Iced variant [quickservemagazine.co.uk]. Costa reported it has been selling one matcha drink every four seconds since the nationwide launch in January, and said seven out of ten matcha purchases are iced drinks [retailtimes.co.uk]. Promotions include limited‑edition matcha‑inspired reusable cups that launched with the spring range and a touring programme of ten town‑centre pop‑ups featuring a Catch‑A‑Matcha vending game that can dispense branded plush toys and cup cozies; the toy (Matchilda) is being promoted and located via the Costa Club app and Costa’s social channels.
