There is no single Australian stage: each city has its own, worked out from its own cafes with the same rules. This is the stage most of the cities share (Adelaide, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney); every city's own stage is in City by city.
Emerging: Fewer than 5 Sydney cafes have it, or the first cafe post or review we have is under 120 days old, or creators are posting it before any cafe has it. It also covers anything on a small share of cafes that is holding steady.
Micro means fewer than 10 cafes have posted it in the last 90 days in every city we track. The tag goes by itself once 10 or more cafes in any city have it.

Biggest in Adelaide, on 0.8% of its cafes in the last 90 days.
Each card counts the city's cafes with a post, a customer review or a current menu naming it in the last 90 days. Its share is of that city's own cafes, so a smaller city can be ahead.
We don't read Adelaide, Canberra and Perth cafes' own posts yet, so their figures come from Google reviews and menus only.
“Where to get one” lists a different set: cafes with it on a current menu or in a cafe's or creator's post, whenever it was. That is why a city's count there is not the same.

Each city appears in the month of its earliest post or review in our data and grows as more of its suburbs have it. Its size is its cafes so far, never added to another city's.

There were 60 searches for iced turmeric latte across Australia in Oct 2026, with all its names added up. Across the months we have, from Jul 2024 to Oct 2026, it ranged from 30 (Aug 2025) to 100 (Jan 2025). These are monthly estimates of search demand across every state and territory.
The earliest cafe post or customer review about iced turmeric latte that The Froth has, in any city we read, is from 2 Nov 2026. 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.
Every city is counted on its own, with the same rules: a cafe counts for iced turmeric latte from the first public post or customer review we found about it, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. A city's share is of its own cafes we see well (an Instagram post or a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once), and its change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before. Cities' cafe figures are never added together, because we read some cities' posts and others only from reviews and menus. Searches are monthly search demand across Australia with all of a trend's names added up. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
