UCC matcha latte contains green tea ingredients, so it can contain caffeine. UCC’s Asia-Pacific product page describes its instant matcha latte as made with Shizuoka green tea leaves and dairy milk, but the page does not publish one universal caffeine number for every market or package.
Check the exact UCC pack
Look at the nutrition panel and serving directions on your 10-stick or 30-stick box. A stick’s caffeine depends on the amount of tea powder and the prepared serving. Do not use the caffeine value for UCC hojicha latte or another UCC drink as a substitute; they are different products.
The official UCC Latte Series page lists UCC Matcha Latte separately from UCC Hojicha Latte and identifies the matcha product as a tea latte made with green tea leaves. If your local label does not state caffeine, contact the manufacturer rather than guessing from the word “latte.”
What to do if you are caffeine-sensitive
Count the UCC serving alongside coffee, tea, chocolate and medicines consumed that day. Caffeine can affect people differently. The FDA says up to 400 mg per day is not generally associated with negative effects for most adults, while pregnancy, medicines and health conditions may require individual advice.
So, does UCC matcha latte have caffeine? It is reasonable to treat it as caffeinated because it contains green tea, but use the exact package or manufacturer information for the amount. For general context, see our matcha latte caffeine guide.
