If you've ever stood at a Dunkin' counter wondering "Which matcha should I get?", you're not alone.
Some matcha drinks are light and comforting, others are rich and filling, and a few are basically dessert in a cup.
This guide walks you through every matcha drink available at Dunkin', what each one tastes like, who it's best for, and how to choose one you'll actually enjoy and not regret after the first sip.
What Is Dunkin Matcha?
Dunkin uses sweetened matcha powder blended with milk or milk alternatives. Unlike traditional ceremonial matcha (which is unsweetened and whisked), Dunkin's matcha is:
- Sweeter
- Creamier
- More approachable for everyday drinkers
While it's not traditional matcha, it's a smooth, energizing coffee alternative with a gentler caffeine boost.
Dunkin Matcha Hot Latte
The most straightforward matcha drink on the menu and the best place to start if you're new to matcha. Sweetened matcha powder is blended with steamed milk and served hot.
The flavor is smooth and lightly grassy with built-in sweetness never bitter. Skim milk keeps it light, while whole milk adds richness and creaminess.
Best for: First-time matcha drinkers, coffee replacements, cozy mornings.
Dunkin Matcha Iced Latte
The iced version of the classic matcha latte is slightly sweeter and smoother due to cold preparation. Mixed with milk and ice, it's refreshing without losing its creamy texture.
One of the most popular everyday matcha options at Dunkin'.
Best for: Warm weather, afternoon energy, cold-drink lovers.
Dunkin Protein Matcha Latte (Hot or Iced)
This version uses Protein Milk instead of regular milk, making the drink noticeably thicker and more filling.
The matcha flavor remains sweet and smooth, but the richer milk softens the green tea notes slightly.
Best for: Skipping breakfast, post-workout energy, staying full longer.
Dunkin Almond Protein Matcha Latte (Hot or Iced)
Uses almond-based protein milk for a lighter but still satisfying texture. A subtle nutty flavor pairs well with the sweetness of matcha.
Less heavy than the standard protein version but more filling than a classic latte.
Best for: Almond milk fans, protein without heaviness.
Dunkin Frozen Matcha Latte
Blended with ice for a thick, slushy texture that leans more toward dessert than latte.
- Almond milk → lighter and refreshing
- Skim milk → icy and clean
- Whole milk → creamy, milkshake-like
Best for: Hot days, sweet cravings, treat-style drinks.
Dunkin Iced Vanilla Matcha with Sweet Cold Foam
Layers iced matcha with vanilla flavor and a thick cap of sweet cold foam.
The first sip is rich and sweet, followed by smooth matcha underneath indulgent and clearly designed for flavor lovers.
Best for: Fans of flavored lattes and dessert-style drinks.
Dunkin Perfect Matcha
Sits between a plain latte and a specialty drink. Sweeter than a classic matcha but more balanced than frozen or heavily topped options.
Smooth, creamy, and easy to enjoy.
Best for: Casual matcha drinkers who want something flavorful but not overwhelming.
Dunkin Wicked Green Matcha
The boldest option on the menu. Vibrant in color, noticeably sweet, and delivers a stronger green tea presence.
Unapologetically intense and dessert-leaning.
Best for: Strong matcha fans and treat-style orders.
Milk Options Used in Dunkin Matcha Drinks
Milk choice plays a major role in taste, texture, and calories.
- Almond Milk: Light, subtle nutty flavor
- Skim Milk: Clean, low-fat, lighter calories

Tip: Changing the milk can completely transform how a matcha tastes and feels.
