Is Matcha Latte Powder Worth the Hype? A Look at the Drink Me Chai Version

Matcha latte powder has moved from niche shelves to kitchen cupboards across the UK and is now part of everyday routines, fuelled by wellness trends and the search for a gentler alternative to coffee. The green hue is unmistakable. The flavour, divisive. But the appeal is clear - a comforting cup that promises focus without the jitters.

The Social Media Buzz

Since its appearance in major UK stores like Tesco, Drink Me Chai's Matcha Latte powder has sparked genuine curiosity and excitement. Social media platforms showcase countless posts from people trying this unique flavour combination.

One TikTok user described the powder as tasting "sooooo good" - straightforward praise that has motivated others to try it themselves. The distinctive green colour creates eye-catching photos that stand out in feeds, adding to its growing popularity online.

As the market fills with new takes on the trend, not all matcha latte powders are created equal. Among them, Drink Me Chai offers a version that stands apart. The brand pairs matcha with traditional chai spices, creating a ready-made powder with a distinct character. 

What Makes This Green Goodness Special

Drink Me Chai has created something truly special by combining matcha green tea with their signature chai spices. The result is a creamy, sweet drink with a twist that stands out from other matcha products on the market.

The powder contains 8% matcha green tea, mixed with skimmed milk powder, coconut oil, and a hint of cinnamon (0.4%) that adds a warm, spicy note to the earthy matcha. It's ready in moments - just add hot milk, stir, and enjoy!

Ancient Origins, Modern Kitchen

Matcha dates back over 1,000 years, originating in China before becoming central to Japanese Zen Buddhist practices. Monks prized matcha for the "calm alertness" it created during meditation - a state most of us would welcome during hectic mornings.

Traditional matcha prep involves bamboo whisks, fancy bowls, and the patience of a monk. Lovely, but unless you're up at 5AM with a tea ceremony playlist, a tin of Drink Me Chai Matcha Latte powder is probably the better shout.

Drink Me Chai makes it all very easy while preserving matcha's essential character.

How to Enjoy Your Matcha Moment

Drink Me Chai’s Matcha Latte Powder works with whatever the day throws at you. No elaborate steps or specialist tools, just simple ways to enjoy it, however you like it.

• Hot and smooth: Stir 4 teaspoons (about 17g) into 200ml of hot milk. The result is creamy, balanced, and gently spiced, a welcome pause in the middle of the rush.
  

• Cool and crisp: Mix the powder with a splash of hot water, then top it up with cold milk and ice. It’s quick, refreshing, and doesn’t need a heatwave to work.
  

• An easy boost: A spoonful into a smoothie or a dollop of yoghurt gives your usual routine a lift, with just enough flavour to stand out without overpowering.
  
  

For extra texture, use a milk frother. It adds that finishing touch that makes a home-made cup feel very classy and polished. The powder mixes well with dairy or plant-based milks, so it suits whatever’s already in the fridge, though the drink itself isn’t dairy-free; it contains skimmed milk powder as part of the blend.

Perfect For Matcha Newbies

Many people find traditional matcha taste too intense at first try. The Drink Me Chai version solves this problem beautifully. The addition of milk powder, sweetness, and spices creates a much more approachable experience than pure matcha.

Consider it matcha with training wheels - a friendly introduction to this ancient ingredient without the shock of bitter, grassy flavours that often surprise first-timers.
