Shinzo Matcha Launches Sparkling Matcha Soda, Bringing All-Natural Energy to the Beverage Aisle

Matcha sodas debut in two refreshing flavors: Coconut Mango and Yuzu Mint

NEW YORK, NY (April 20, 2026) – Shinzo Matcha, the premium matcha brand known for its popular flavors in single-serve stick packs, is shaking up the functional beverage category with the announcement of a new ready-to-drink beverage line. Now, less than a year after debuting its flavored matcha to make lattes at home and on-the-go, the brand is debuting a sparkling matcha soda in 8.4 ounce cans to the beverage aisle at over 30 specialty grocers across New York City and online at shinzomatcha.com. Available in two bold flavors, coconut mango and yuzu mint, the all-natural sodas offer a new way to enjoy matcha's smooth, steady energy.

The launch marks Shinzo Matcha's expansion from its popular lattes in single-serve powder form into ready-to-drink beverages, meeting growing consumer demand for clean-label alternatives to sugary sodas and overly sweet energy drinks.

"We built Shinzo around the idea that matcha should be both delicious and healthy, not bitter or with fake additives," said co-founder Zach Hayworth. "These sodas are an offering that the health-conscious consumer is looking for: real energy, all-natural ingredients, and flavors that are exciting."

Aligned with Shinzo's all-natural commitment, the sodas contain no artificial sweeteners or colors, just the premium matcha of Shinzo, real flavors, and a touch of organic cane sugar.

Both are lightly carbonated, which lets the matcha shine, and highlight the matcha's earthy depth with bright, complementary notes. Coconut mango pairs tropical sweetness with juicy undertones, while yuzu mint offers a citrus-forward, refreshingly crisp finish.

Shinzo Matcha’s matcha sodas are now available at specialty grocers across New York City including Westside Market, Gourmet Fresh, and Dumbo Market with other locations spanning midtown Manhattan, West Village, Upper East Side, Park Slope, and Williamsburg. The full lineup is also available for purchase at shinzomatcha.com.
