Starbucks Chilled Cup “Kyoto Matcha Latte” Returns with a New Look

September 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of Starbucks’ chilled cup series in Japan. To celebrate, the brand is bringing back the Kyoto Matcha Latte, first introduced in 2008 as a dessert-style drink made without coffee.

More Matcha for a Richer Flavour

While keeping its smooth, creamy milk taste, the new version contains more matcha, offering a deeper, fuller flavour. Each sip blends the richness of milk with the aromatic depth of matcha, creating a sweet and indulgent harmony that fills the palate.
