For ten full days, guests are invited to immerse themselves in a vibrant celebration dedicated to matcha—Japan’s beloved green tea—through drinks, desserts, workshops, and even a rave. Best of all, entrance is free.

Featuring 12 of Manila’s most beloved matcha cafés and bars, the festival promises a one-stop destination for both longtime matcha lovers and those curious to explore the trend.

From the creamy lattes of Chotto Matcha, playful creations of Matcha Mama, and exclusive desserts from Matchanese, to the indulgent pastries of Melc Patisserie x Niko Neko and the bold custom lattes of Ujisan, every booth offers something unique. Visitors can sip, savor, and discover the depth of flavor that only matcha and hojicha can bring.

Beyond the drinks, the festival offers an immersive cultural experience. Guests can join “Make Your Own Mochi” and “Whisk Your Own Matcha” workshops, try their hand at Matcha Bowl Painting with Wabi Sabi Pottery Studio, or dance the night away at the high-energy Matcha Rave on August 29—complete with live DJs, glow sticks, and plenty of matcha-fueled fun.

Whether you crave a classic latte, an adventurous dessert, or a creative hands-on activity, the Manila Matcha Fest has something to delight every palate.
