You might be surprised to find these Handmade Matcha chocolate truffles on our website, as they are quite different to the other vegan sweets we have reviewed and recommend on our website. However, we were very delighted when we found these! We love Matcha Tea and drink a cup or two every day. We think it is a great alternative to coffee or normal green tea, as it has various benefits. Matcha Tea is a type of green tea that comes from a few special regions in Japan. Matcha is a powder that contains the entire leaf of the tea plant. It is stone-ground in a long, manual process and the powder is typically vibrant green. When you drink Matcha, you therefore drink the entire leaf of the plant. It is a very special tea and has a range of benefits. Discussing these here would go beyond the scope of this post, but if you are interested to find out more about Matcha, then please take a look at this website we found.
It contains a lot of valuable information about Matcha Tea, its origins, characteristics, benefits and different grades. We found it really helpful when we did some research about Matcha: https://www.passionformatcha.com/
As you now know, we love Matcha! We therefore immediately ordered these chocolate truffles when we found them online! We had Matcha chocolate a couple of years ago but cannot find it anywhere, and we therefore were really delighted to find these chocolate truffles that contain Matcha powder, which leads to their green colour. This chocolate has real green tea powder on the outside and a sweet, melty white chocolate and oat cream on the inside. This cream goes really well with the outer matcha tea layer. If you like Matcha tea, we can recommend this chocolate.
This box contains of 120g, and there are 16 truffles in the box. The box would also make a fantastic gift, if you know someone who likes Matcha or just tries something new from time to time.
We find it very positive that the Matcha powder, the oat base, and the Rapeseed oil used are organic. Below you can find a photo that lists all the ingredients in the truffles.
It is definitely something we would recommend. However, they are not cheap and quite small. We recommend them for a special occasion or as gift.
