Grind has once again partnered with Green Day’s Punk Bunny Coffee to release a limited-edition ready-to-drink Iced Matcha Latte, which initially sold out in less than eight hours upon its debut. This collaboration is significant as the two brands unite to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Green Day’s American Idiot album.
As part of this special collaboration, the previously sold-out Iced Matcha Latte will be restocked, allowing fans another opportunity to purchase the popular beverage. In addition to the latte, the partnership introduces a special-edition coffee tin designed to celebrate the milestone anniversary. The tin, finished in matte black, prominently features the iconic heart grenade artwork from the American Idiot album cover.
"Over the last few years, we’ve spent time at football games, recording our album Saviors in London and drinking English coffee. Partnering our Punk Bunny Coffee company with Grind is a natural way to continue the celebration of our latest album Saviors and the anniversary of American Idiot," said Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day.
