Searches in Perth are up 33% (Aug to Oct 2026 against Aug to Oct 2025), while about as many of the same cafes have it (41, against 45 in the 90 days before).
At least 10 cafes had it in the last 90 days, and either the number of the same cafes with it grew by a quarter or more on the 90 days before (counting only cafes we have read through both periods, and at least 10 of them), or it is new among them, or Perth searches rose by a quarter or more while those cafes held steady.
The stages run Emerging, Rising, Peaking, Mainstream, Fading. A trend can skip a stage or move back.

In the 90 days to 13 Nov 2026, 42% of the Perth cafes we see well (a current menu in that time) had it.

There were 9,100 searches for matcha in Perth in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the 23 months we have, from Dec 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 2,850 searches (Dec 2024) to 9,170 (Apr 2026). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Perth.
The earliest Perth customer review about matcha that The Froth has is from 14 Mar 2024. We only see what we collect, so that is when we first saw it, not when it started: it may have been sold earlier, here or elsewhere.
A typical iced matcha latte, drawn from Perth cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with whisked matcha (2 to 4 g of matcha whisked with 60 ml of warm water, poured on last), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and cold milk (about 200 ml, often oat, lightly sweetened). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.
A cafe counts for matcha from the first Google review we found that mentions it, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once. A change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before, only among cafes we have followed through both, so newly added cafes never look like growth. The 90 days end on the latest day with new reviews or menus (13 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Perth with all of a trend's names added up.
