Matcha, a few steps from the Itchen
Yes, The Pink Olive serves matcha. You'll find us at 23 Manor Farm Rd in Bitterne Park, Southampton, open Wednesday to Saturday from 8:30am to 5:30pm. Matcha is one of the four things we're built around, alongside coffee, brunch and sweet treats.
Matcha at The Pink Olive
Matcha used to mean a trip into town. Now there's a green drink waiting in a pink café on the Triangle.
If you've never tried it, ask us. We're happy to talk you through it before you order.
What is matcha?
Matcha is green tea leaf ground into a fine powder and whisked into water or milk. Because you drink the whole leaf rather than an infusion, it tastes fuller than ordinary green tea: grassy, a little sweet, slightly savoury. It contains caffeine.
