Matcha Soft Serve: Japanese Tradition Meets a Modern Favourite

Discover the history of matcha and its transformation into a modern favourite. Ti Amo Coffee brings matcha soft serve and creative dessert catering to events across Australia.

Sep 27, 2026

Matcha has travelled a long way from its traditional roots in Japan. Today, this vibrant green tea is enjoyed around the world in lattes, desserts, cakes and one particularly popular treat — matcha soft serve.

At Ti Amo Coffee, we bring this modern matcha experience to events across Australia, offering matcha and frozen dessert options that add something unique to celebrations, corporate events and brand activations.

A Little History of Matcha

Matcha has a long history connected to Japanese tea culture. Powdered tea was introduced to Japan from China centuries ago, and over time it became closely associated with Japanese tea ceremonies.

Unlike regular green tea, matcha is made by grinding specially grown green tea leaves into a fine powder. The powder is whisked into water, allowing the entire tea leaf to be consumed.

Today, matcha continues to be enjoyed in traditional settings while also being used in modern food and drinks.

From Traditional Tea to Matcha Soft Serve

The distinctive flavour and vibrant green colour of matcha have made it a natural ingredient for desserts.

Matcha soft serve combines the earthy, slightly bitter character of matcha with the creamy sweetness of soft serve, creating a balanced dessert that is both refreshing and indulgent.

It has become particularly popular in modern cafés, dessert shops and Asian-inspired food culture around the world.

Why Matcha Soft Serve Is Perfect for Events

A matcha soft serve station can bring an interactive and memorable element to your event. Guests can enjoy a freshly served dessert while choosing toppings and creating their own combination.

It works especially well for:

  • Corporate events

  • Brand activations

  • Product launches

  • Exhibitions and trade shows

  • Weddings

  • School events

  • Festivals and markets

  • Private celebrations

The vibrant green colour also makes matcha soft serve naturally eye-catching and highly suited to modern event styling and social media content.
