Matcha for a full crowd and the whole brand activation
Barista Strength for every guest
Your customers and guests deserve a treat worthy of your brand name and your hosting. We blend real Japanese matcha at barista strength for every cup, not watered down to move a crowd or because it's a giveaway. The line keeps moving even at a big guest count.
Custom-branded for your event
Custom-printed labels come standard, with fully branded full-print cups as an upgrade. Match the cups and menu to your brand colors, and add a signature drink built for the occasion.
Hot, iced, and ready to serve
Served hot or iced, with oat milk or whole milk and a range of syrups and flavors to fit the day. Strawberry matcha is the latest fave!
One vendor for the whole event
Pair the matcha cart with cotton candy, popcorn, or any of our other carts, all from one vendor with one invoice and one point of contact. Private parties get the same setup the kids and adults both line up for.

Setup area: With umbrella we recommend at least an 8 x 8 ft. area, with at least 5 ft. distance from any rear walls.

Width: Measure your spaces to ensure we can reach your intended service area. Our carts vary in size and need from 30 to 36” width to pass.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
It scales with your guest count and how many baristas we staff. At one of our larger activations, two baristas served up to 350 matcha drinks in a single day and 900 across the three-day run. For a bigger crowd or a tighter window, we add baristas to keep the line moving. Share your guest count and service hours in the quote and we'll staff to match.
-
Yes. Custom-printed labels come standard on every cup. Full-print cups are quoted by volume and need a longer lead time, so plan with us early. We match the cups and menu to your brand colors and can add a signature drink built for the event. For activations, the cart itself can carry your branding too.
-
Yes. Matcha is caffeinated, and the L-theanine in green tea pairs with the caffeine for a smoother, longer lift than coffee without the jittery crash. It's why guests reach for it as the coffee alternative at events.
-
Yes. Oat milk is a standard option on every menu, so dairy-free guests are covered without a special request. We can add other milk alternatives for your event when you ask.
-
Yes. Sweetness is added per drink, so guests can ask for their preferred level, or none at all. The matcha itself is unsweetened until we build the cup, so an unsweetened latte is just matcha and the milk of your choice. Flavored matchas come sweetened by their puree or syrup.
