Matcha tea and red fruit fondant cake

The delicious recipe for Matcha and red fruit cake

This month, the house un air de thé offers you a melting and easy-to-make recipe! The famous Matcha cake and its delicious red fruits for a fruity and colorful note! For this recipe, be sure to choose a good Matcha tea from Japan! For those who are used to using a matcha tea of ​​Chinese origin (much cheaper...), you will see that there is a big difference! Chinese matcha is less aromatic and delivers unpleasant earthy notes. Unlike Japanese matcha which offers an incomparable umami flavor, the notes will be intense, slightly sweet and very fresh! Note that to preserve these intense notes after cooking your desserts, it is interesting to favor steam cooking.

Why are Japanese Matcha teas of better quality?

(Matcha if translated simply means "powdered tea")

  • A rare and carefully cultivated tea : the Japanese don't select just any tea to produce their Matcha; they use Tencha tea, grown in shaded fields. This tea is therefore a high-quality tea, cultivated with great care; the plantations are covered several weeks before harvest to increase the chlorophyll and amino acid levels in the leaves.
  • A manual harvest : these tea leaves are harvested by hand
  • A fine harvest : only the youngest leaves are harvested for making matcha tea.
  • An ancestral manufacturing process : the Tencha leaves are ground with stone millstones very slowly, the powder recovered is extremely fine.
