Pure Matcha Powder for Bubble Tea Shops in the UK: What to Know Before You Order

Next Gen Boba sources its pure matcha powder from the same factory as Blank Street. That means the same quality, the same vivid green colour, at a price that works for your margins. 

Here is everything you need to know before you order.

What Makes This Pure Matcha Powder Different

Not all matcha powder is the same. The grade, the origin, and how it is processed all affect what ends up in your customer's cup. Next Gen Boba's matcha is sourced factory-direct, with no middleman between the producer and your order. 

The Quality Standard Blank Street Built Its Name On

Blank Street is one of the UK's fastest-growing specialty matcha brands. They built that reputation on a single thing: consistent, premium-grade matcha with a vivid colour and clean flavour. Next Gen Boba sources from the same factory. Your customers get that same benchmark in every cup.

One Powder Covers Your Whole Matcha Menu

Pure matcha works across lattes, bubble tea, smoothies, and matcha-based desserts. You only need one product to cover all of those. That keeps your ingredient list lean and your storage simple.

Colour Is the First Thing Customers Judge

A dull, olive-coloured matcha drink loses customers before they taste it. Next Gen Boba's pure matcha powder produces the bright, vivid green that signals quality. That visual consistency matters every single time a drink leaves your counter.

Wholesale Matcha Powder Pricing That Protects Your Margins

The UK matcha market was worth $37.2 million in 2024 and is forecast to reach $77.5 million by 2033, growing at 8.6% per year according to Grand View Research. More shops are adding matcha to their menus. 

The ones that do it profitably are the ones sourcing at the right price. See how ingredient costs fit into your overall setup in our guide to bubble tea business setup costs in the UK.

Factory-Direct Means You Pay Less Per Order

Next Gen Boba buys directly from the source factory. There is no UK importer or distributor adding margin in the middle. That saving passes straight to you on every order you place.

The Cost Per Cup Is Very Low

A standard matcha bubble tea or latte uses 3 to 5 grams of pure matcha powder. At wholesale matcha pricing, that puts your matcha cost well under £0.20 per drink. Your retail price sits at £4.50 to £6.00. The margin on a matcha drink is one of the strongest on any bubble tea menu.

Better Price for the Same Colour and Flavour Quality

There are cheaper matcha powders in the UK market. Most of them show it in the cup. Next Gen Boba's pricing sits below comparable products of the same colour vibrancy and flavour depth. You are not paying a premium price for premium quality. You are getting both at a competitive wholesale rate.

Private Label Matcha Powder for Your Brand

Next Gen Boba offers a private label and custom branding service on its matcha range. Whether you run a bubble tea kiosk or a full café, private label matcha opens a revenue stream beyond your drinks menu.
