Matcha and sweets: Japanese elegance in your desserts
Tea harvested on the 88th night is renowned for its exceptional quality, symbolizing longevity and happiness. This year, this special night falls on May 2, also marking the season of fresh tea. On this occasion, there is nothing better than preparing matcha treats. With the rising temperatures, fresh desserts like mint-flavored matcha jelly are ideal for a gourmet break.
According to Setsuko Honma, a Japanese tea researcher and instructor, matcha also pairs well with cheese, citrus fruits, and flavored teas like Kamairicha or semi-fermented Hojicha. Her refined creations are an invitation to explore new flavor and texture combinations.
