There were 450 searches for matcha in Hobart in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the 23 months we have, from Dec 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 270 searches (Dec 2024) to 650 (Dec 2025). These are monthly estimates of search demand in Hobart.
The earliest Hobart customer review about matcha that The Froth has is from 17 Apr 2025. 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 Hobart 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 (15 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Hobart with all of a trend's names added up. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
