Spring has come！ Best 3 Spring Limited Recommended Matcha Sweets 2018
04/03/2018
If you think of Spring, I think many people think of it as "Cherry Blossom", but Spring is also a season of new tea, “Shincha." We also called, “Shincha”, "the first tea”, and it is a tea made by picking up a growing sprout around May. Compared to “Second tea” and “Third tea”, it is characterized by less astringency, refreshing taste and have fragrance. For that reason, Japan sell sweets using Matcha or Japanese tea not only cherry blossom sweets. This time, I would like to introduce 3 Spring-limited sweets using Matcha, which is also popular among foreigners!
Lindt: Lindt White Chocolate Dark Matcha Ice Drink
Lindt is a chocolate manufacturer company founded in Zurich, Switzerland in 1845. Besides popular Lindor, the seasonal ice drinks are also popular. What I want to introduce this time is "Lindt White Chocolate Dark Matcha Ice Drink”, which appears every season of New Tea seasons. This year, they offer using matcha more than twice as much as usual! The sweet white chocolate and bitter Matcha is well harmorized, and it has become a excellent taste.
