Tim Hortons invests in matcha beverage trend with new line of drinks
Tim Hortons has launched a new lineup of handcrafted iced and hot matcha beverages at participating Tims restaurants across Canada.
The company claims the menu items are made with 100% authentic matcha tea. The matcha used at Tims is made from a high quality grade of shade-grown green tea leaves which are picked, dried and then double ground into a fine powder to deliver a fresh signature matcha flavour and a vibrant green colour.
The new lineup includes five distinct beverage options for guests. For cold drink options, Tims is offering the Vanilla Iced Matcha Latte with Cold Foam, the Original Iced Matcha Latte and the Unsweetened Iced Matcha Latte. Hot beverage options include the Hot Vanilla Matcha Latte and the Hot Matcha Latte.

"Our matcha lineup is designed to delight both longtime matcha fans and guests who are looking to explore the world of matcha as a delicious alternative to coffee or black tea," Feaver said. "Guests can enjoy their matcha at Tims in a variety of different ways including sweetened or unsweetened, with vanilla flavour and with cold foam."
