Asda launches own-brand Matcha products in response to TikTok craze
The supermarket says searches for matcha are up 381% as it adds eight-sachet boxes aimed at Gen Z drink trends.
Supermarket Asda launched new Matcha sachets in vanilla and blueberry, enabling customers to bring café-style drinks into their homes at a fraction of coffee shop prices.
The TikTok-inspired trend has surged in popularity among Gen Z Brits, prompting Asda to create own-brand products that satisfy shoppers seeking café-style beverages at home.
For 20p a serving, customers can enjoy Asda's Matcha drinks, dramatically undercutting the around £4.50 cost of high street coffee shop versions.
Users responded enthusiastically online, with one saying, "Ahhh gonna have to try," as Asda launched £2.50 vanilla and hazelnut syrups to enhance the beverage.
Since the product's launch earlier this month, Asda claims searches for Matcha surged 381% week-on-week, signaling the sachets are already resonating with shoppers.
