Flavored Matcha Lattes from Dunkin have become a popular beverage choice among coffee and tea lovers alike. This traditional Japanese drink is made from finely ground green tea leaves and offers a unique and flavorful taste. Recently, Dunkin has joined the matcha trend by introducing a variety of flavored matcha lattes to their menu.
As an avid matcha lover, I was excited to try out Dunkin’s flavored matcha latte options and see how they compared to other coffee chains and local cafes. In this comprehensive review, I will be sharing my thoughts on each flavored matcha latte from Dunkin and provide some tips for enhancing the overall experience.
Flavored Matcha Lattes from Dunkin: A Comprehensive Review
Dunkin currently offers six options for flavored matcha lattes: Raspberry, Coconut, Vanilla, French Vanilla, Caramel, and Toasted Almond. Each latte is made with high-quality matcha powder and your choice of milk (dairy or non-dairy). All of these lattes can be served hot, iced, or as a frozen beverage. Let’s take a closer look at each flavor and see how they stack up against one another.
VANILLA MATCHA LATTE
I like The Vanilla Matcha Latte from Dunkin is a simple yet classic combination of vanilla and matcha. This latte offers a balance of sweetness and earthiness, making it a popular choice among matcha lovers.
RASPBERRY MATCHA LATTE
I started off with raspberry syrup in my matcha latte because I feel like Raspberry Matcha Latte from Dunkin combines the bold flavors of matcha with the sweet and tart notes of raspberry. The vibrant pink color of this latte makes it visually appealing, and it’s perfect
COCONUT MATCHA LATTE
Coconut is never my favorite flavor, but objectively, this was a good matcha latte. The coconut flavor is very strong, but it works well with matcha which combines the tropical flavors of coconut with the earthiness of matcha. This latte is perfect for those who enjoy a creamy and slightly sweet beverage.
FRENCH VANILLA MATCHA LATTE
After Dunkin’s vanilla matcha latte, I was both nervous to try the sweetened French vanilla and intrigued. For those who enjoy a stronger and bolder vanilla taste, the French Vanilla Matcha Latte may be the perfect choice. This latte combines the classic Dunkin French Vanilla flavor with the unique taste of matcha.
CARAMEL MATCHA LATTE
I was hoping the caramel matcha latte would be a fun, sweet, and yummy drink, but it ended up just being kind of meh. It was definitely sweet, but it didn’t blend that well. It’s combines the rich and buttery taste of caramel with the earthiness of matcha. This latte offers a unique blend of flavors and is perfect for those who enjoy a sweeter and indulgent drink.
Taste – Dunkin’s Array of Flavored Matcha Lattes
Overall, I enjoyed trying out each flavored matcha latte from Dunkin. Each one offers a unique and enjoyable taste, but some stood out more than others. Personally, I preferred the Vanilla Matcha Latte and the French Vanilla Matcha Latte as they offered a nice balance of sweetness and earthiness, with the matcha flavor still being prominent.
However, I do believe that Dunkin’s flavored matcha lattes may be a hit or miss for some people. If you’re a fan of strong and pure matcha taste, then these lattes may not be your cup of tea. But if you enjoy experimenting with different flavors and are open to trying new things, then I would recommend giving them a try.
Health Benefits associated with Matcha Lattes
Matcha lattes have gained popularity in recent years due to their potential health benefits. Some of the key health benefits associated with matcha lattes include:
- High concentration of antioxidants: Matcha is known for its high levels of catechins, which are a type of antioxidant that may help boost the immune system and protect against cell damage.
- May aid in weight loss: Matcha contains compounds that have been linked to an increase in metabolism and may help burn fat more efficiently.
- Contains caffeine: Just like coffee, matcha also contains caffeine which can provide a boost of energy and improve focus.
- Rich in vitamins and minerals: Matcha is rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, calcium, and potassium, which are essential for maintaining good overall health.
While these health benefits are promising, it’s important to note that the added sugar and artificial flavors in Dunkin’s flavored matcha lattes may offset some of these benefits. It’s always best to consume these beverages in moderation and opt for alternative milk options to reduce the amount of added sugar.
