Cherry Blossom Matcha “milk”

This is a limited release bar for spring! Cherry blossoms are a sign of spring both in Japan and in BC’s Lower Mainland. As our spirits and the days lighten, I also wanted to make a bit of a lighter bar. Rabbits are also a symbol of spring and, in Japan, symbolize other things, including cleverness and are said to pound mochi (sticky rice) on the moon.

Incorporating all these things, I imported some special matcha that is ground with cherry blossoms from Shizuoka and then blended it with Peruvian beans, cocoa butter and mochi to make a lighter, milky bar. I hope you enjoy all the flavours that gently emerge in this blend, from fruity to floral to matcha green tea, as we move into the promise of spring.
