👎 Pitiful Matcha Options at Pete’s Fresh Market

This…

…is Pete’s Fresh Market. And this…

…is the tea aisle at Pete’s Fresh Market. Wowza! Look at all that tea!

However, if you’re a matcha enthusiast scouring the aisles of Pete’s Fresh Market in Chicago, here’s the straightforward scoop: there’s nothing here for you! Frankly, there are no good matcha options available Pete’s. Options can vary by location, but Pete’s matcha offerings typically fall short for discerning matcha lovers. So in general, find another place to shop for matcha.

These are your matcha powder options at Pete’s Fresh Market. In that whole giant tea aisle, this was it! 🛑 Turn around. Go somewhere else.
  1. Matcha Tea Bags and Powder: Pete’s might carry matcha tea bags or powder from the brand Republic of Tea, but it’s essential to emphasize that these do not meet the standards of quality matcha. They are not recommended for those seeking an authentic matcha experience.
  2. Matcha Canned Drinks: In the cold drinks section, you may stumble upon matcha drinks like Moontower, MatchaBar, Matcha Love, or Moshi Sparkling Uji Matcha (on my last visit they only had Moshi, but had several flavors: Original, Coconut, White Strawberry, Ginger). While these canned options can temporarily satisfy your matcha cravings, they are not the pinnacle of matcha excellence.
If you’re just looking for a quick fix, check the cold drinks section. They occasionally have something here that might quench your thirst in a pinch. These are the Moshi Sparkling Uji Matcha drinks in Original, Coconut, White Strawberry, and Ginger.

In summary, if you’re serious about your matcha, Pete’s Fresh Market is not be the best destination. So… Happy matcha hunting elsewhere! View our recommendations on the best places to buy matcha in Chicago.
