Matcha Dessert Recipes

A long standing tradition of Japanese culture, Matcha Green Tea is the highest quality powdered green tea available. Made from the nutrient-rich young leaves picked from the tips of shade-grown Camellia sinensis plants, Matcha Green Tea is steamed, stemmed, and de-vined before being stone-ground into very fine powder. Matcha Green Tea powder is then stored away from light and oxygen in order to preserve its brilliant green color and antioxidant properties. This miracle elixir has been consumed for over a millennium in the Far East, and is now considered to be one of the most powerful super foods on the market today.
Impressively beautiful desserts often sacrifice flavor for aesthetics. Take wedding cakes for example: The mere height and structure of them makes it so that wedding cakes can’t afford to be soft and moist, as any cake worth eating should be. It makes you think that you really can’t have it all. Until matcha.
In the case of matcha desserts, beauty and flavor go hand in hand. Matcha — powdered green tea — is a lovely luminescent emerald color. It lends its glorious hue to any dessert it has the pleasure of mixing with. The result is absolutely gorgeous. And also completely delicious, particularly for green tea fans.
