Dutch Bros Adds Matcha to National Menu: Menu Updates and Seasonal Additions
The true signature of Dutch Bros is aggressive recipe customization. Ordering a plain iced matcha is simply the baseline; regular visitors treat the green tea concentrate as a canvas for the brand's expansive syrup catalog.
Vanilla and lavender syrups dominate current order trends. A pump of lavender syrup cut with half-and-half yields an earthy floral profile that tempers the grassy bitterness of Japanese green tea. Plant-based milk alternatives, specifically barista-formulated oat milk and creamy almond milk, provide dairy-free drinkers with dense microfoam textures that mimic whole-milk lattes without muting the tea profile.
Then comes Soft Top. The proprietary buttermilk-infused marshmallow foam has become a staple across the drive-thru chain. Layering a dense collar of sweet Soft Top over an iced matcha creates a two-tone gradient that dominated social feeds throughout late spring. Creative regulars also add strawberry real-fruit drizzles or salted caramel floats to construct dessert-style tea drinks that compete directly with craft boba establishments.
