The matcha green tea shortcrust pastry immediately stands out for its intense green color.
Its delicate and characteristic flavor pairs excellently with vanilla and cinnamon, allowing us to create excellent cookies and tarts.
Even more delicious if we prefer to fill them with raspberry jam, cream, or white chocolate.
It is made using matcha green tea, which is ten times richer in antioxidants than the more common green tea and is considered a superfood. It also contains many vitamins.
In short, an exotic taste to discover while benefiting from the extraordinary properties of this very special tea, which is only produced in Japan.
