Dunkin’ Has Matcha Doughnuts Now

Dunkin’ is about to add more matcha to its menu. Yes, Ben Affleck’s favorite restaurant already offers matcha in the form of hot and iced lattes, and starting February 24, the Massachusetts-based purveyor of massive iced coffees will add a blueberry flavored matcha latte and a glazed donut topped with matcha powder to its repertoire.

“Expanding our line of specialty drinks with matcha lattes last year created a whole new way to stay energized and refreshed at Dunkin’,” said Jill Nelson, vice president of marketing and culinary at Dunkin’, in a press release.

According to the press release, the blueberry matcha latte is made by “combining Dunkin’s sweetened matcha green tea powder blend with blueberry flavor and [our] guests’ choice of milk.” Mmmm, blueberry flavor. The matcha latte will be available hot, iced, and frozen.

The matcha doughnut is just a regular old Dunkin’ glazed (which, to be fair, can be miraculously good when fresh) topped with bright green matcha powder. The matcha powder is actual matcha powder — which is made with finely ground green tea leaves sourced in the Nishio region of Aichi prefecture, Japan — not matcha powder flavor.
