Matcha in America: Why It’s So Popular in 2025 — and What’s Next in 2026

From local cafés to high-end restaurants, matcha has truly found its place in American culture. Once known only to tea lovers, this vibrant green powder has become a favorite for lattes, desserts, smoothies, and even skincare.

In 2025, matcha’s popularity continues to grow as more people look for natural energy and mindful rituals. Unlike coffee, matcha offers a calm focus thanks to L-theanine and gentle caffeine. It’s also packed with antioxidants — a small wellness habit that fits perfectly with the modern lifestyle.

Social media has helped spread matcha’s charm too — from latte art to peaceful tea whisking videos, the visual beauty of matcha resonates with a generation that values both aesthetics and well-being.

So, what do we see for matcha in 2026?
Matcha will continue to expand beyond drinks. We’re seeing matcha-infused pastries, chocolates, and even savory sauces entering mainstream American kitchens. The ritual of preparing matcha at home — using a traditional bamboo whisk (chasen), matcha bowl (chawan), and scoop (chashaku) — is becoming part of a slower, more intentional lifestyle.
