Costa Coffee Matcha JLC
Is There a Limited Edition Matcha at JLC's Costa Coffee Right Now?
Yes - and if you have not tried it yet, it is worth knowing about before it disappears.
Costa Coffee's limited edition Matcha is now available at Society Street Kitchen, the on-campus Costa Coffee outlet at John Leggott College, Scunthorpe. Available as a hot Matcha Tea or an Iced Matcha, it is one of those drinks that arrives quietly and tends to go quickly.
What is the Costa Coffee limited edition Matcha, and how much does it cost?
The limited edition Matcha comes in two versions: a hot Matcha Tea and a cold Iced Matcha. Both are available in small and medium, with the option to add a flavoured syrup if you want to customise it further.
Size Small £2.60
Size Medium £2.90
Add syrup+ 80p
It is one of the more affordable ways to try matcha from a high street coffee brand, and the iced version in particular works well as a between-lectures drink when the campus is warm.
Where can students find Costa Coffee on the JLC campus?
Society Street Kitchen is the Costa Coffee outlet based on the John Leggott College campus in Scunthorpe, open to all students and staff throughout the college day.
It sits at the heart of the campus social space, which means it is easy to reach between lessons, during free periods, or at lunch. Full details of the campus layout and facilities are available on the JLC website.
Why is matcha so popular right now?
Matcha has moved well beyond the health food aisle. It now sits alongside oat milk flat whites and cold brew as a mainstream café order, particularly among students, partly because of its lower caffeine content compared to espresso-based drinks and partly because it genuinely tastes good when it is made well.
The limited edition status means this is not a permanent menu addition, so if you have been curious about trying it, now is the time before the term ends.
