Popcorn Shed, a UK-based gourmet popcorn manufacturer, has released a new limited-edition flavour: Matcha Latte Popcorn. This innovative product aims to blend traditional snack appeal with the growing consumer interest in matcha and specialty flavours.
Matcha Latte Popcorn combines the rich, buttery profile of caramel popcorn with the earthy notes of matcha green tea. Each kernel is coated to achieve a balance between sweetness and bitterness, providing a unique snacking experience that reflects the essence of the Japanese tea ceremony.
According to Popcorn Shed, the new flavour is designed to cater to consumers seeking indulgent yet mindful snacking options. The company notes that this product is not just a treat but an opportunity for consumers to enjoy a moment of relaxation amidst their busy lives. The Matcha Latte flavour will be available for a limited time.

Popcorn Shed, founded in 2016 by cousins Sam and Laura, has rapidly expanded its portfolio to include over 30 flavours of gourmet popcorn. The company began in a family kitchen and has since grown to achieve nationwide distribution through retailers such as Debenhams, Harrods and Ocado.
Additionally, Popcorn Shed has collaborated with corporate clients including Warner Bros, Google and Facebook, further establishing its presence in the gourmet snack market.
Popcorn Shed’s Matcha Latte Popcorn is available for purchase through its website, Amazon and select speciality retailers.
