PerfectTed launches ready-to-drink Protein White Chocolate Matcha

PerfectTed extended its canned matcha latte range with a Protein White Chocolate variant containing 18g of protein per can. The drink is available from today in Tesco and WHSmith, with Holland & Barrett stocking it from June.

The launch pulls two of the UK's fastest-growing functional drink categories — matcha and high-protein RTDs — into a single SKU.

White chocolate matcha is a popular café order, and PerfectTed says this is the first version of it in a can with added protein.

Marisa Poster, co-founder of PerfectTed, said: "This new Protein White Chocolate Matcha Latte is the kind of product our community has been asking for: café-quality matcha in a can, with 18g of protein, which is seriously impressive for the size of the can."

What's in the can

Each can delivers 18g of protein alongside 40mg of caffeine — roughly half the dose of a standard espresso shot, in line with PerfectTed's broader positioning around steadier, lower-jitter energy. The drink is sweetened with agave and is gluten free.

Brand context

PerfectTed was founded in 2021 by Marisa Poster and brothers Teddie and Levi Levenfiche.

The brand landed a high-profile Dragons' Den deal and has since built out a global matcha supply chain. It now describes itself as Europe's largest matcha brand and the fastest-growing energy drink brand in the UK, with more than 35,000 store listings across 50+ countries, according to the company.

The Protein White Chocolate variant joins a product range that spans ready-to-drink flavoured matcha lattes (Strawberry, Vanilla, Blueberry, Original, and Protein White Chocolate), sparkling matcha energy drinks, matcha powders, single-serve sachets, and Nespresso-compatible matcha pods.
