Perfect Ted brings free matcha to South Bank for their 5th birthday


12 th September 2026

On Thursday 24 September the popular matcha brand PerfectTed is celebrating its fifth birthday in South Bank with a one-day pop-up on the Queen's Walk near Ernie's Beach.

In addition to free freshly whisked matchas there will be Lola's bento cakes and cupcakes, plus the chance to pick up PerfectTed goodie bags from their giant birthday cake installation overlooking the river.

The first 400 visitors will receive a Lola’s and PerfectTed goodie bag, which includes a pouch of PerfectTed's new 'Birthday Cake' flavour matcha powder. The new ceremonial-grade matcha latte powder "combines PerfectTed’s signature matcha with nostalgic birthday cake-inspired flavours" for a sweeter twist.

When and where is the Perfect Ted pop-up?

The birthday pop-up is open on Observation Point in South Bank on Thu 24 September from 11am to 6pm. 

No booking is required although free matcha drinks are available while stocks last.
