Detailed description

Almar's Professional Matcha Latte is the premium signature beverage solution for cafés, coffee shops, restaurants, hotels and patisseries seeking to ride one of the fastest-growing trends in the European specialty drinks market. Born from the encounter between Almar's Italian craftsmanship — in the beverage industry since 1968 — and the refined tradition of Japanese tea culture, this powdered preparation delivers a full-bodied, contemporary drink that combines the creaminess of milk with the vibrant character of carefully selected matcha green tea (8.6%).

Calibrated sweetness and well-rounded vegetal notes come together in a unique, revitalising experience — ready in seconds, consistent in every cup. With five distinct applications in a single product — hot latte, iced latte, frappé, smoothies and baking — the Professional Matcha Latte maximises stock rotation and optimises back-bar space, making it the most versatile premium beverage investment an operator can make.

Matcha is today one of the fastest-expanding beverage categories in Europe, driven by Gen Z and Millennial consumers and by the explosion of the wellness segment. Adding a Professional Matcha Latte to the menu means tapping directly into real, ever-growing demand — with one of the highest margin structures in the entire specialty beverage category, gluten-free and lactose-free positioning, and the reliability of a trusted Italian manufacturer with 55 years of experience and global distribution.
