PLeurt op met je matcha-reep

Matcha is everywhere: in your latte, in your skincare, on your Instagram. But trust Rotterdam to have something to say about it. Meet the ‘Piss off with your Matcha’ bar: a white chocolate bar with a soft milk filling and a hint of 100% organic Japanese matcha. For anyone who finds the hype just a little over the top, but secretly still wants to know what it tastes like.

From global hype to a Rotterdam wink

Open TikTok or Insta and you’ll see them everywhere: millennials and Gen Zers sipping their bright green matcha lattes in perfect poses. Matcha – green tea powder with water and frothed milk – isn’t just a drink, it’s a lifestyle. But Rotterdam? Rotterdam is a city of “just act normal”. And so a Rotterdam wink at this trend was inevitable.

“Eventually, I too was swept up by all those beautifully decorated cups of matcha latte on social media,” says Olaf Ouwerkerk, founder of Rotterdammertjes.com. “After standing in line for ten minutes for my first matcha latte, I thought: okay, this tastes interesting… but it deserves a proper Rotterdam response.”

Matcha chocolate with a statement

Following the success of the previously launched ‘Piss off with your Dubai’ bar, Olaf decided it was time for a new statement. “That same irritation I felt with the Dubai hype back then, I now feel with matcha. So I thought: why not make Rotterdam matcha chocolate? Such a bar is a big wink at the hype – but you don’t have to be an influencer or a yoga fan for it.”

And that’s how the Piss off with your Matcha bar came about: made from creamy white chocolate, a soft milk filling and that distinctive fresh, bitter taste of real Japanese matcha. Naturally in Rotterdam colours and produced in the local region.

Exclusive, limited and aesthetically responsible

The Piss off with your Matcha bar is not just a gimmick. It’s a culinary wink at everything that has become too trendy. But it’s made with love: each bar is produced locally and packaged in minimalist green-and-white packaging that is just as cheeky as its name.
