This is the Coca-Cola Ayataka Cafe Koi Matcha Latte, formulated with 50% more matcha powder than its predecessor. The matcha (5%) is sourced from Kyōto tea merchant Kanbayashi Shunshō Honten, who selects high-quality leaves grown in Uji.

The beverage displayed an opaque green-khaki hue—deeper than the earlier version—with a sweet, lightly vegetal, and subtly umami aroma.

When consumed chilled, it opened with a mellow milky sweetness that developed into richer grassy matcha notes through the body. The flavour carried a fuller depth than before, with a creamy mouthfeel supported by the fine matcha powder. Despite its intensity, the texture remained smooth, and the flavour was well-balanced without harsh bitterness. The sweetness felt integrated, stemming from the richness of the matcha rather than excessive sugar. A lingering umami note carried through the finish, leaving a gentle aftertaste.

Overall, a notable improvement on the earlier, overly sweet version—well-suited for those seeking a matcha dessert-style beverage, though not one for regular tea substitution.

This Coca-Cola Ayataka Cafe Koi Matcha Latte contained 440 mL. It was produced in Japan and purchased in Sydney, Australia in 2025.
