Why we launched our own matcha

We have poured hundreds of matcha drinks at weddings, bridal showers, graduations, and pop-ups across Halifax, Dartmouth, and Bedford. The question we hear most at the cart is not about the menu. It is "where can I buy this matcha?" For a long time we did not have a good answer. Most of what people could find in local grocery stores was culinary grade, olive coloured, and bitter. So we put our own name on the matcha we already trusted.

What it tastes like

Whisked with warm water, CloudCafe Matcha is smooth, grassy, and naturally a little sweet, with the deep savoury umami that Uji matcha is known for. There is very little bitterness, which means it is easy to drink straight. In a latte, it holds its colour and flavour against milk instead of disappearing, which is exactly why we use it for every matcha drink on our menu.

   Pick your size

   Choose the 30 g bag ($30.99) if you are new to matcha or drink it a few times a week. Choose the 50 g bag ($46.99) if you drink it daily or want the better price per cup.

Still the cart you know

Launching CloudCafe Matcha does not change what we do on weekends. We are still Halifax's mobile matcha and espresso cart, and we still bring the strawberry cloud matcha to events across the HRM. The difference is that now you can take the same matcha home, or send it to someone in Toronto, Vancouver, or anywhere else in Canada.
