Everyone knows that ice cream and summer go hand in hand, but have you ever tried Matcha ice cream? A refreshing treat with the sweet and deep flavours of Ceremonial Grade Matcha, that will give you a spring in your step.
Ceremonial Grade Matcha
This Great Taste Award-Winning Japanese green tea is exceptionally high-grade with intense sweetness and much deeper, less bitter flavour than other standard-quality matcha powders.
Imparting a mild aroma of fresh grass with a hint of fruitiness and rich, creamy flavour, this finely ground green tea powder is perfect for incorporating into a smooth summer ice cream.
Our collection of matcha green teas offers a varied choice for ice cream flavours. From the sweet flavour of our traditional ceremonial grade matcha to the earthy toasted rice flavour of Genmaicha Iri Matcha we have a whole selection of flavours for you to choose from.
