As London prepares for temperatures soaring up to 28°C next week, coffee lovers are being encouraged to ditch their hot brews in favour of something cooler. Roasting Plant Coffee is stepping in to help with a refreshed summer menu of iced drinks designed to keep caffeine fans cool, energised and fully caffeinated during the heatwave.
With search trends for iced coffee and cold drinks typically surging whenever temperatures rise above 20°C, the speciality coffee brand is expecting a major uptick in demand from commuters, office workers and shoppers across the capital.
London Heatwave Sparks Shift to Iced Coffee Culture
As Britain leans into longer days and warmer evenings, iced coffee has officially become a seasonal essential rather than a luxury. From morning commutes to midday pick-me-ups, consumers are increasingly opting for chilled caffeine options that deliver refreshment without compromising on flavour or energy.
Roasting Plant Coffee is positioning itself at the centre of this shift, offering a handcrafted iced menu made from freshly roasted beans sourced globally.
Hero Summer Drinks on the Menu
Leading the summer line-up is the Lemon Curd Matcha Latte, a vibrant blend of ceremonial-grade matcha and tangy lemon curd. Bright, refreshing and naturally energising, it delivers a smooth caffeine boost ideal for hot-weather sipping.
Other iced highlights include:
- Iced Rose Dubai Chocolate Matcha – a luxurious fusion of espresso, pistachio, chocolate and delicate rose, served over ice for a decadent summer twist
- Iced Pistachio Rose Latte – creamy and nutty with subtle floral notes for a balanced iced indulgence
- Iced Matcha Latte – a clean, classic take made with ceremonial-grade matcha
- Street Party Blend (Iced) – a seasonal coffee combining Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and Guatemalan Huehuetenango beans for a bright, balanced flavour profile
These drinks have been curated to meet rising demand for premium iced beverages that go beyond standard cold coffee offerings.
Standout Serve: Lemon Curd Matcha Latte
The Lemon Curd Matcha Latte is expected to be the standout drink of the season. Combining zesty citrus with earthy matcha, it delivers a layered flavour profile that feels both indulgent and refreshing — perfect for summer afternoons when energy dips but temperatures don’t.
Freshly Roasted, Made to Order
Unlike many high-street coffee chains, every drink from Roasting Plant Coffee is brewed to order using freshly roasted beans sourced from some of the world’s best coffee-growing regions.
This focus on freshness ensures that whether served hot or over ice, each cup delivers maximum flavour and quality — a key differentiator in an increasingly competitive iced coffee market.
