Starbucks Spring 2026 Matcha and Cherry Blossom Drinkware Debuts March 3

Starbucks will begin offering two spring merchandise collections - Matcha and Cherry Blossom - at participating U.S. and Canada locations starting March 3, timed to the chain’s Spring 2026 menu launch. The Matcha Collection leans into a range of greens, while the Cherry Blossom Collection doubles down on soft sakura pinks; standout pieces include a stainless steel tumbler that reads “Dream in Green” and a plush Cherry Blossom Bearista keychain.

Kap Pitarys, director of U.S. merchandise for Starbucks, framed the Matcha Collection as customer-driven: “We were inspired by the customers in our coffeehouses. We created an assortment that captures the spirit of spring and our customers’ love of matcha.” Starbucks also notes that matcha “has been served in its coffeehouses for more than 20 years,” a continuity the new line intends to celebrate through colors that range “from lighter creamy foam tones to deeper matcha powder hues” and textures such as splatter and rippled glass.

AOL published exact sizes and prices for several Matcha items: a 16-ounce glass Cold Cup in Matcha green for $22.95, a 12-ounce two-tone Glass Ripple Cup for $17.95, and two 12-ounce stainless steel tumblers - a botanical pattern at $21.95 and an abstract swirled “Dream in Green” tumbler at $22.95. Delish supplements those SKUs with named pieces that do not yet have published prices: a matcha splatter mug, rippled matcha mug, botanical glass mug, and a botanical stainless steel cold cup.

The Cherry Blossom Collection draws on designs created for Starbucks coffeehouses in the Asia Pacific region and includes a pink gradient cold cup with a flower straw topper, two cherry blossom tumblers, an enamel pin set, and the Cherry Blossom Bearista keychain. Brit + Co highlighted the keychain as “the one standout item,” calling it a collectible plush charm and noting it taps into Bearista cups that “went absolutely viral last fall.”

Starbucks is pairing the merch rollout with a broader spring campaign: the spring menu debut on March 3 includes a Strawberry Crunch Cream Frappuccino with sakura-inspired jelly, Strawberry Crunch Pure Matcha Latte and Iced Strawberry Crunch Pure Matcha Latte, several lavender returns (Iced Lavender Cream Chai, Iced Lavender Matcha, Iced Lavender Latte, Lavender Crème Frappuccino), Raspberry Chocolate Mousse beverages, and new Energy Refreshers arriving later in spring. AOL specifically flagged the merch as a gifting option for Easter and Mother’s Day, pairing reusable cups and tumblers with seasonal drinks.

Merch collectors should note past behavior: Delish warns that “if you were just planning to grab a coffee, maybe don't make eye contact with the merch wall,” and both Delish and Brit + Co underline that Starbucks merchandise often sells out quickly. With the spring menu and merchandise arriving simultaneously on March 3, the most covetable pieces are likely to disappear fast, making the first day of the drop the clearest moment to see the full assortment in participating stores.
