Matcha at Weinmarkt – hot, iced or vanilla & cinnamon
Matcha Latte, Iced Matcha or Vanilla & Cinnamon Matcha Latte: Which Matcha option you can choose at SiP Weinmarkt in Lucerne and which milk suits it.
At SiP at Weinmarkt 14 in Lucerne there are three Matcha options: the hot Matcha Latte (CHF 7.00), the Iced Matcha served on ice (CHF 7.50) and the Vanilla & Cinnamon Matcha Latte with vanilla and cinnamon notes (CHF 7.50). The choice is simple: hot and pure, cold and refreshing, or hot with extra flavour. You can choose oat, coconut or lactose-free milk.
What is Matcha, anyway?
Matcha is, according to Merriam-Webster, a green powder made from finely ground green tea leaves that is traditionally whisked with hot water. Because you drink the whole leaf as a powder rather than just an infusion, the flavour is more intense than classic green tea. (Source: Merriam-Webster, "matcha")
In a Matcha Latte the Matcha is combined with milk. That rounds the grassy‑fresh flavour and makes it creamier.

Matcha Latte: getting started
The hot Matcha Latte is the basic version. Choose it if you're trying Matcha for the first time or want to experience the flavour as purely as possible.
Iced Matcha: for warm days
The Iced Matcha is the cold version and a good choice if you're after something refreshing after a stroll through the Old Town.
Vanilla & Cinnamon Matcha Latte: spiced
Vanilla and cinnamon lend Matcha a softer, slightly sweet and spiced note. This option is for you if pure Matcha feels too grassy.
Which milk suits Matcha?
The Weinmarkt menu lists three alternative milks for an extra CHF 0.50 each:
- Oat milk – plant‑based, rather mild and slightly sweet.
- Coconut milk – plant‑based, with a coconut character that pairs well with vanilla and cinnamon.
- Lactose-free milk – cow’s milk without lactose, so not plant‑based.
