Matcha NOW, the US twist-n-shake ceremonial-grade matcha phenomenon that hit the UK shores late last year, is launching in 250 Marks & Spencer’s stores, including multiple venues in London, Liverpool, Canterbury, Brighton and Newcastle. 

Starting 5th September, M&S shoppers will be able to enjoy Matcha NOW’s original Pure Matcha and Ginger & Turmeric, a brand new flavour that hit shelves last month.

UK founder Janine Marshall: “Launching in M&S is a huge achievement for the brand, and I am so excited to share this news! It's been a whirlwind since we officially brought Matcha NOW to the UK in 2017, and to be on the shelves of the prestigious M&S stores in our second year is a feat that could not make us prouder.” 

Sussex based startup business, Marvolio’s Nostrums has launched with a trio of distinctive small batch liqueurs. 

Combining premium spirits with other fine ingredients to create complex and satisfying flavours, Marvolio’s offer something to suit all tastes and occasions; the award-winning brand create smooth Whiskoffy, a honeyed blend of malt Scotch whisky and 100% Arabica coffee; stimulating Tequilomile, tequila blended with herbs, chilli and orange and Whinger, whisky and ginger with a fiery kick.

The independent Scottish gin maker, Wild Thyme Spirits, has launched Colonsay Gin Bramble Liqueur in a new 50cl bottling.

The liqueur is infused with blackberries, hand-foraged from the hedgerows across the island of Colonsay in the Hebrides where the gin is distilled. The result is a full-bodied, rich liqueur, with a beautiful distinctive taste, subtle aroma and vibrant colour.
