Lindt & Sprüngli has been creating ‘magic moments’ for consumers for over 60 years with LINDOR and its irresistibly smooth recipe created by the LINDT MASTER CHOCOLATIERS. At this year’s TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes, Lindt & Sprüngli Travel Retail increased its profile with a new range of LINDOR products, a LINDOR turbo promotion programme, an extensive sampling campaign and an eye-catching LINDOR PoS gondola with a screen featuring an animation of the famous smooth melting LINDOR ball.

The latest addition to the LINDOR family is LINDOR Matcha Limited Edition 387g, the company’s first-ever Asian flavour, exclusively for the Asian market. With its delicate white chocolate shell infused with a smooth matcha-flavoured filling, the new LINDOR Matcha truffle will appeal to Asian consumers’ fondness for matcha, as well as their love of chocolate.

Matcha is an Asian speciality – a traditional finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves – and a flavour that is also growing in popularity among international travellers. LINDOR Matcha is perfectly placed to meet this growing demand, making it an unusual and unique gift for duty free customers.

The launch will be supported with an extensive marketing package featuring Japanese decorative elements such as paper fans, tatami mats and matcha tea props, and includes trial offers, sampling campaigns, expansive PoS visuals and gifts of Japanese knot bags with purchases of LINDOR Matcha. The campaign will run for six months from October at 11 major airports & downtown duty free in the Asia Pacific region, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Osaka, Taipei and Malaysia.

Peter Zehnder, Head of the Lindt & Sprüngli Global Duty Free Division, said; “We’re delighted to be expanding our much-loved LINDOR Limited Editions range with new LINDOR Matcha, a flavour that is very much on-trend and will meet demand from growing numbers of Asian travellers. As a global brand, it’s vital that we consider the regional preferences of consumers. We’re confident LINDOR Matcha will be a popular choice with duty free shoppers and help grow LINDT’s market share in the Asia Pacific region.”
