🍵 Why Matcha in Cookies?
Matcha is more than just a tea—it’s a versatile ingredient that adds colour, complexity, and depth to your baking. When paired with the richness of butter and the sweetness of sugar, matcha creates a flavour profile that’s both comforting and refined.
Our cooking-grade matcha is grown on our family farm in Fukuoka, Japan, and is perfect for baking. It blends easily into dough and holds its vibrant green colour when baked—just be sure to keep your cookies out of direct sunlight to prevent fading!
