Lotte Introduces Long-Awaited Matcha Latte Flavor
In an exciting announcement, Lotte Co., Ltd. reveals the return of the long-awaited matcha flavor to its Coolish brand after a twelve-year hiatus. Set to launch on April 21, 2025, this unique “drinking ice” product features an exquisite blend of two types of finely ground matcha, carefully crafted to create the delightful "Coolish Matcha Latte" flavor. The timing, right in sync with the refreshing spring season, encourages everyone to indulge in this new treat as the weather warms up.
What Makes the Coolish Matcha Latte Special?
The Coolish Matcha Latte presents an easy and convenient way to enjoy ice cream. Specifically designed to be consumed with one hand, the product boasts a variety of features that enhance the overall experience:
- - Unique Textural Appeal: The incorporation of fine ice granules provides a refreshing sweetness paired with a creamy and smooth mouthfeel.
- - Artisanal Matcha Blend: Lotte has blended two kinds of traditionally stone-ground matcha to achieve a perfectly balanced flavor profile. A special roasted matcha sourced from Kirishima, Kagoshima Prefecture (0.2% in the product) delivers a pleasant aroma, while the balanced bitterness and umami of the Nishio matcha from Aichi Prefecture (0.3% in the product) complement it beautifully.
- - Pleasant Aftertaste: The aftertaste is gentle and mellow, making it an ideal refreshment for warm days ahead.
