What Is a Matcha Latte?
Dunkin’s Matcha Lattes feature a high-quality Matcha green tea powder blend, produced in the Nishio region of Aichi prefecture, Japan, where the finest Matcha has been grown for more than 800 years. The new Blueberry Iced Matcha Latte is Dunkin’s regular matcha latte with pumps of blueberry syrup. Totally simple.
Blueberry Iced Matcha Latte Review
The taste. When we first ordered this drink, we thought the addition of blueberry syrup would go virtually undetected or sweeten the drink way too much. Instead, the blueberry syrup added to the matcha latte creates a vibrant taste of natural blueberry flavor that finishes with a refreshing splash of creamy milk. The first sip was quite sweet but eventually balanced out to be more subtle with the creamy texture of the milk and matcha.
Caffeine is less. You can expect a medium Matcha Latte to contain an average of 120 milligrams of caffeine. This is less caffeine than a standard medium iced coffee, which amounts to nearly 300mg of caffeine.
Calories are reduced with skim milk. Have your iced blueberry matcha latte created with skim milk to drop the number of calories significantly.
Perfect before a workout. One of the best times to have a cup of matcha is about half an hour before exercise. Studies reveal that doing so increases the rate at which the body can burn calories and improve physical performance. The caffeine in matcha also helps increase focus, making it easier to push yourself harder and for longer.

I finally tried this fruity, yet health fanatic tasting drink. Blueberry flavor was subtle, still had the matcha taste and the creaminess of it rounded it out. My thoughts as I tried this were “I wonder if coconut milk in this would be a game changer?” 🤔
