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
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 events
- Conferences
- Networking sessions
- Product launches
- Brand events
- Wellness programmes
- Private celebrations
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:
- Classic matcha
- Matcha latte
- Iced matcha latte
- Oat milk matcha
- Flavoured matcha options
- Hot and cold service
From a small team borrel to a larger bedrijfsfeest, the format can scale around the occasion.
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:
- Beauty brands
- Wellness companies
- Fashion events
- Fitness businesses
- Lifestyle launches
- Creative agencies
- Consumer product events
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
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
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
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:
- Wellness days
- Team activities
- Client entertainment
- Brand launches
- Lifestyle events
- Small corporate groups
- Community programmes
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.
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.
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.

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.
Amsterdam Matcha Catering in Practice
125 Guests Corporate Matcha Break in Zuidas
A faster afternoon refreshment format for a busy business programme
The Brief
The client requested a replacement for a standard coffee break during a high-focus corporate workshop. The goal was to provide a lighter, more energising alternative that would still support networking without slowing down the agenda.
Our Setup
A two-station mobile matcha bar was installed with dedicated hot and iced preparation zones. Equipment included commercial-grade whisking stations, temperature-controlled water dispensers, oat milk supply, and pre-portioned ceremonial-grade matcha. Two trained bar staff managed continuous service.
Service Delivery
Setup was completed 75 minutes before guest arrival. Service was aligned with the scheduled break window, allowing guests to be served within 2–3 minutes per drink. Peak flow occurred in the first 25 minutes of the break, with a second wave during the final 20 minutes.
168 drinks served in 90 minutes, average service time of 2.4 minutes per drink, and 92% of guests opting for iced matcha or oat milk matcha.
Client feedback noted improved engagement during the second half of the workshop due to reduced caffeine crash compared to standard coffee service.
200 Guests Amsterdam Brand Launch Matcha Bar

The Requirement
The brand required a visually strong, social-media-friendly drinks station that would encourage guest interaction and align with a wellness-focused product identity. The drinks needed to be photogenic, customisable, and fast to serve during peak arrival periods.
The Matcha Concept
A branded matcha bar was created featuring custom menu naming aligned with the product launch theme. Drinks included classic matcha, vanilla oat matcha, iced citrus matcha, and a limited-edition “launch green latte.” Branded cups and signage were integrated into the station design.
On-Site Service
Three staff members operated a dual-service bar with separate hot and cold preparation lanes. Setup was completed 2.5 hours before doors opened. Service was continuous throughout the event, with peak demand occurring between 18:30 and 19:45.
287 drinks served across 4 hours, with a peak service rate of 1 drink every 38 seconds.
64% of guests shared or photographed drinks on social media, based on post-event tracking provided by the client marketing team. The client also reported increased dwell time at the activation area compared to previous non-branded beverage setups.

The Couple's Request
The couple requested a non-alcoholic drinks station that would complement the daytime portion of their wedding while offering guests an alternative to champagne and wine during arrival and speeches.
Service Plan
A compact matcha bar was installed near the courtyard entrance to ensure visibility without disrupting ceremony flow. Oat milk and standard dairy options were provided, with iced matcha prioritised due to warm weather conditions.
Guest Experience
Guests used the matcha station primarily during arrival and post-ceremony networking. The iced matcha latte became the most requested drink during the first hour of service.
112 drinks served across 3 hours, with 70% of guests returning for a second drink. The most popular option was the iced matcha latte with oat milk.
The couple described the station as a “surprisingly memorable part of the reception experience.”
