KOURTNEY Kardashian Barker debuted two new babies this week — her unborn child with Travis and a new matcha drink.
The wellness pioneer partnered with Cha Cha Matcha to co-create a $12 latte and lemme tell you, it was good.

Kourtney released her supplement brand on September 27, 2022.
The 42-year-old mother encouraged others to enjoy taking vitamins with her line of all-natural gummies called Lemme.
Each supplement ranges in mental and physical benefits between the $30 Lemme Focus and the $30 vaginal health probiotic Lemme Purr.
Recently, the brand won the Best of Beauty Award for its stress-relief gummy Lemme Chill, packed with Ashwagandha, lemon balm, passionflower, and goji.
Yet, some dieticians have expressed skepticism that her supplements do what they promise for you.
Before Kourtney’s shocking pregnancy announcement this week, she debuted a new relationship — with Cha Cha Matcha.
The cafe chain, which has locations in Los Angeles and New York, teamed with Kourtney’s business to concoct the $10 Lemme Latte.
However, it’s important to note the price comes out to about $12 with the cost of your choice of milk and taxes.
This iced drink combines Kourtney’s love for matcha and the franchise’s classic “Purple Drink.”
Now available through July 16, fans can sip on the lavender-infused beverage at every location.
Being an overpriced drink lover who also tried the reality star’s Erewhon smoothie, I celebrated Kourtney and Travis’s pregnancy with a trip to my nearest Cha Cha to try the latte.
I’m not kidding when I say it was creamy heaven in a cup.
Typically, celebrity brand creations don’t impress me, and having tried Lemme Purr, I was prepared to be indifferent.
I wasn’t ready to be so wrong.

Walking into the Cha Cha Matcha next to Bryant Park, I was a little embarrassed to be ordering “Kourtney Kardashian’s drink.”
But my anxiety eased as the man behind the counter couldn’t care less about which menu item I picked.
I watched carefully as he poured a mauve-like liquid into the cup of ice.
You don’t have a choice in beverage size, which honestly, I like.
I wasn’t left wishing I had more in my cup or regretting splurging because I couldn’t finish the drink.
The purple part filled most of the cup, consisting of lavender, ube, and CBD.
A shot of matcha was mixed with my choice of milk: almond.
Vegan whip sprayed with liquid B-12 topped off the beverage for an extra shot of supplement sweetness.
I was already satisfied when the barista handed me the drink.

Maybe I’m a sucker for an ombre latte, but watching the green seep into the purple with the pink and white topping was mesmerizing.
My taste buds matched my mind when I took my first sip.
The ube flavor was strong but in the best way possible.
I would compare the heaviness and flavor of the beverage to taro boba milk tea.
It also reminded me of the McDonald’s limited-edition shamrock shake, just not as sugary.
It didn’t take long before the whipped cream melted, and the matcha green turned the entire liquid brown.
At that point, though, I was two-thirds through and starting to feel it all sit at the bottom of my stomach.
I forced myself to drink the latte slowly so I wouldn’t get a stomachache.
Though I had no belly issues, I did feel full for about 30 minutes after I finished.
Because my boyfriend and I share the same love for bubble tea, I knew he would love the Lemme Latte.
It was hard to convince him to try it leading with: “It’s Kourtney Kardashian’s creation.”
However, I convinced him to try one for himself. “Holy s**t, that’s really good,” he admitted.

“Too bad I won’t spend that much on one drink ever again.”
And I agreed. The Lemme Latte was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, worth the first $12, but not anymore after that.
