Matcha Tea Catering Amsterdam

How we actually deliver in Amsterdam

We are a London company that works across Europe, and we would rather be straight about how that runs than pretend to be local.

What travels to Amsterdam
Espresso machines, grinders, service kit and our speciality beans ship from London, so the coffee in the cup is the same one we serve at home.
What we hire locally
Carts, furniture, refrigeration, milk and consumables are sourced in Amsterdam, which keeps freight down and means nothing critical sits in a customs queue.
Who runs the day
One producer owns the build from brief to clear-down and travels with it, working alongside a crew hired in Amsterdam who know the venues and the access rules.
Lead time and cost
Events in Amsterdam start from €2,500 excluding travel and accommodation, with staff at €35 per hour on a four-hour minimum. Allow two to three weeks for festivals and galas; tighter dates are worth asking about.

What you are actually buying

Mobile espresso carts and baristas for events, offices, conferences and exhibition stands — run by a London company that services major UK and European cities, with the paperwork venues ask for and prices published up front.

£10m liability cover
Public and products liability plus employers' liability, held by Pearl Lemon Cafe Ltd. Certificates go to your venue on request.

Published prices
Cart day rates, barista hourly rates and European travel costs are written down, so you can budget before you speak to us.

Matcha Catering Built Around Your Event

Matcha Catering Built Around Your Event

From a morning conference to an evening launch party, our Amsterdam matcha catering service can be configured around the venue, audience, timing and drinks experience you need.

Staffed Matcha Bars That Become Part of the Event

Staffed Matcha Bars That Become Part of the Event

A matcha bar gives guests more than another self-service drinks table. It creates a visible point where drinks are prepared, served and enjoyed throughout your event. Our setup can be planned around hot matcha, iced matcha, matcha lattes and plant-based alternatives, with serving quantities based on your guest numbers and event duration. For corporate organisers, the result is a drinks station that works naturally alongside registration areas, networking spaces, breakout rooms or exhibition stands. Suitable for:

Corporate Matcha Catering That Breaks the Coffee Routine

Corporate Matcha Catering That Breaks the Coffee Routine

Another meeting with another row of filter coffee rarely creates much conversation. Our corporate matcha catering gives Amsterdam teams a different refreshment option for meetings, employee events, workshops, conferences and company celebrations. A matcha station can work especially well during mid-morning breaks or afternoon sessions when organisers want to offer something visually appealing alongside the normal drinks selection. For businesses around Zuidas, Amsterdam Zuid, Centrum and Sloterdijk, the service can be planned around office access, guest arrival times, meeting schedules and service windows. Your menu can include:From a small team borrel to a larger bedrijfsfeest, the format can scale around the occasion.

  • Matcha latte

Matcha Bars for Brand Activations and Product Launches

Matcha Bars for Brand Activations and Product Launches

A branded event needs refreshments that feel connected to the experience rather than added as an afterthought. For launches, retail activations, pop-ups and promotional events, a matcha bar can create a social focal point where guests stop, order a drink and spend time with the brand. Depending on the project requirements, the event concept can incorporate menu naming, printed signage, branded serving materials or selected drink combinations. This format is particularly relevant for:Amsterdam's mix of creative businesses, agencies and international companies makes this style of catering especially suitable for launches where presentation matters almost as much as the drink itself.

Wedding Matcha for the Modern Amsterdam Bruiloft

Wedding Matcha for the Modern Amsterdam Bruiloft

Champagne has its moment. Coffee has its moment. Matcha can have one too. Add a matcha station to your bruiloft as a welcome drink, daytime refreshment, alcohol-free alternative or late-afternoon pick-me-up. The menu can include warm and iced drinks so guests can choose according to the weather, venue and season. For spring and summer celebrations around Amsterdam, chilled matcha lattes give guests a lighter alternative to another hot drink. For autumn and winter gatherings, warm matcha can sit naturally alongside cakes, desserts or an afternoon drinks service. The setup can be planned around guest numbers, venue access and the timetable of your celebration.

Matcha Catering for Festivals, Exhibitions and Cultural Events

Matcha Catering for Festivals, Exhibitions and Cultural Events

Amsterdam's event calendar moves quickly, from exhibitions and cultural programmes to major city celebrations. A mobile matcha station can support events where organisers need drinks served from a defined point without relying on a permanent café setup. For exhibitions, festivals and community events, we can plan the service around expected footfall, opening times and peak serving periods. Seasonal occasions such as Koningsdag, spring events, summer festivals and end-of-year celebrations also create opportunities for a more colourful drinks menu. Orange-themed event? Add an orange-inspired matcha special alongside the green classics for a distinctly Dutch feest atmosphere.

Matcha Workshops and Interactive Tea Experiences

Matcha Workshops and Interactive Tea Experiences

Some events need more participation than simply collecting a drink. A matcha-focused workshop or demonstration can introduce guests to preparation methods, whisking, serving and the differences between traditional matcha and the modern café-style matcha latte. This format works particularly well for:Guests can see how the drink is prepared and learn more about matcha while taking part in a structured shared experience.

Guests Remember the Drinks That Feel Different Matcha catering can become more than a drinks station when the service, presentation and menu are planned around the event. “ We booked the matcha catering for a 180-person brand activation in Amsterdam Noord, and the setup immediately became a focal point of the event. Guests kept returning for the iced matcha latte, which was especially popular during the afternoon session. The team arrived early, coordinated smoothly with our production crew, and had everything ready before doors opened. It genuinely elevated the overall guest experience and gave the event a premium feel. Sophie van Dijk Event & Partnerships Manager, Noordlicht Creative Agency “ Our company hosted a leadership conference in Amsterdam Zuid with over 120 attendees, and the matcha bar replaced our usual coffee break. The service was fast, well-organised, and handled peak demand without delays during networking intervals. Several executives specifically commented on the quality of the matcha and the plant-based options. It was a refreshing change that aligned perfectly with the tone of the event. Jeroen Meijer Corporate Events Lead, Amstel Business Group Nederlandse Klantreview “ De matcha catering paste perfect bij ons interne bedrijfsevent in Amsterdam Centrum. Vooral de iced matcha latte was een favoriet onder onze medewerkers tijdens de middagpauze. Het team werkte strak volgens planning en zorgde dat alles soepel verliep, zelfs tijdens de drukste momenten. Het gaf onze borrel echt een moderne en verrassende twist. English meaning: The matcha catering was a perfect fit for our internal company event in Amsterdam Centrum. The iced matcha latte was especially popular with our employees during the afternoon break. The team worked according to schedule and made sure everything ran smoothly, even during the busiest moments. It gave our gathering a modern and surprising twist. Marloes Bakker Office & Culture Coordinator, Amsterdam Tech Collective

Package Inclusions

Amsterdam Has an Occasion for Every Matcha Bar

Spring launches, summer festivals, Koningsdag, Pride celebrations, office borrels, autumn conferences and December feestdagen all create reasons to bring people together. Amsterdam's annual Koningsdag celebrations turn the city orange every April, while its wider programme of cultural and business events keeps venues active throughout the year. For organisers, the key is simple: choose a drink service that matches the audience, timing and atmosphere rather than defaulting to the same refreshment table every time.

From Event Brief to First Matcha A straightforward process keeps your Amsterdam catering organised from enquiry through to service. 1 Event Brief Share your datum, Amsterdam location, guest count, event format and preferred service times. 2 Menu Planning We agree the matcha drinks, milk choices, serving quantities and any event-specific requirements. 3 Venue Planning Access, available space, setup requirements and service positioning are reviewed before the event. 4 Event Setup The matcha station and required serving equipment are prepared around the agreed schedule. 5 Matcha Service Guests are served throughout the agreed period, with the format adapted to expected peak times.

Matcha Catering Planned Around the Guest Experience Good event catering is not simply about bringing ingredients. The service has to fit the venue, schedule and people attending. 01 Menu Flexibility Hot, iced and latte-style matcha options allow organisers to create a menu suited to the audience and season. 02 Plant-Based Choices Oat and other available plantaardige alternatives can make the drinks selection more inclusive for mixed guest groups. 03 Event-Focused Setup The station can be positioned around registration areas, networking zones, exhibition spaces or other suitable points within the venue. 04 Amsterdam Coverage From Centrum and De Pijp to Zuid, Zuidas, Oost and Noord, the service is positioned around Amsterdam event requirements. 05 Corporate and Private Formats The same core matcha service can be configured differently for a boardroom event, exhibition, bruiloft, launch or private celebration. 06 Hot and Iced Service Weather and season matter. Hot matcha works naturally during colder months, while iced matcha suits spring and summer events.

We plan the drinks service around your event date, venue, guest numbers and required serving period. The setup is delivered to the agreed event location rather than requiring guests to visit a café.

A staffed matcha station can be planned where this forms part of the agreed event package. Confirm staffing requirements when requesting your quote so the service can be priced and organised correctly.
