Wait—There Are Two Matcha Festivals Happening In Manila This Weekend

Article (news)

<p>Matcha lovers may want to pace themselves this weekend. Manila has <strong>two separate matcha festivals at the exact same time</strong>—one in Makati and another in Pasig.</p><p>From <strong>March 13 to 15</strong>, the city will host a pair of green-tea gatherings that offer very different ways to indulge: <strong>a curated coffee-and-matcha market in Pasig</strong><strong>, and a sprawling matcha festival in Makati.</strong></p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1773191568964Modern Market.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Coffee &amp; Matcha Collective in Estancia | Photo: MoMa (Modern Market)</span></span></span></div><h3><strong>Coffee &amp; Matcha Collective (Pasig)</strong></h3><p>The more intimate option is the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVdmf_XAZ8K/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Coffee &amp; Matcha Collective by Modern Market</strong><strong></strong></a>, happening <strong>March 13 to 15</strong> at Rizal Row at <strong>Estancia</strong>.</p><p>Modern Market is best known for weekend pop-ups filled with vintage clothing and independent brands. For the first time, it’s dedicating the spotlight to drinks. Entry is free, and the format is easygoing: arrive, sip something interesting, browse a rack of clothing, then wander back for another round.</p><p>The lineup reflects Manila’s increasingly serious beverage culture. Coffee brewers include <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tenthirtycoffee/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">10:30 Coffee</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alongsidecoffeeph/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alongside Coffee</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/butterdays.ph/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Butterdays</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/goodshtcoffee/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Good Sh*t Coffee</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thisiscoffeeph/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">This Is Coffee</a>. Matcha specialists such as <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hoshihouse.cafe/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hoshi House</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kumatcha.co/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kumatcha</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kumatcha.co/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Matcha Everyday</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/onecupmatcha/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">One Cup Matcha</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/softbrewsclub/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Soft Brews Club</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yura.matcha/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yura Matcha</a> will be whisking bowls of tea throughout the weekend—and happy to explain the difference between ceremonial and culinary grade matcha.</p><p>True to Modern Market form, drinks share the space with lifestyle finds—clothing, bags, accessories, and jewelry—along with a photobooth and DJ sets by Felix, Aaron, and Wujiwavy. Think part caffeine crawl, part weekend market.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1773191956804Souk.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">The Souk Matcha Fest in Glorietta | Photo: Souk Pop Up</span></span></span></div><h3><strong>Souk Matcha Fest (Makati)</strong></h3><p>Across town, the scale gets bigger.</p><p>The<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVs31hlmnYX/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <strong>Souk Matcha Fest</strong>, organized by Souk Popup</a>, takes over the <strong>Glorietta Palm Drive Activity Center from March 13 to 15</strong>, running daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.</p><p>The event gathers <strong>more than 60 matcha cafés, brands, and dessert vendors</strong>, along with over 45 local lifestyle brands. Expect a steady parade of matcha lattes, soft-serve, cakes, and pastries, alongside music and pop-up shopping.</p><p>Among the names appearing are <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thematchaco.ph/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Matcha Co</a>., <a href="https://www.instagram.com/currentlywhisking/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Currently Whisking</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/matchaneseph/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Matchanese</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/genkimatchaa/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Genki Matcha</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/matchahouselipa/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Matcha House of Lipa</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yutorimatchaph/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yutori Matcha</a>, along with dessert spots like <a href="https://www.instagram.com/twentyfourbakeshop/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twenty Four Bake Shop</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hizons_cakes_and_pastries/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hizon’s Cakes &amp; Pastries</a>. The setup leans less market-curated and more festival energy—lots of stalls, lots of desserts, and plenty of green tea.</p><div><br/></div><h3><strong>So… which one should you go to?</strong></h3><p>They actually complement each other nicely.</p><p>If you’re after carefully brewed coffee, small specialty matcha brands, and a slower browsing experience, head to Pasig. If you want maximum matcha variety and dessert-style indulgence, Makati is likely the louder, busier stop.</p><p>Ambitious drinkers could even attempt both: start in Makati with sweets and iced matcha, then head to Pasig later for coffee and a quieter wander through the market stalls.</p><p>Just remember to pace yourself. Matcha may taste calm and grassy, but the caffeine is real.</p>
