    Why Tea Drop Pure Organic Matcha?

    Our culinary-grade matcha is perfect for baking and desserts, offering a vibrant green hue, subtle vegetal notes, and a hint of natural sweetness. Sourced from the finest tea-growing regions in Japan, it adds depth of flavour and a touch of elegance to any recipe. Matcha isn’t just trendy—it’s a versatile ingredient that takes your festive treats to the next level.

    Why Matcha Truffles for Christmas in Australia?

    While Christmas in Australia comes with warm summer vibes, these truffles are a no-bake dessert that’s light yet indulgent. Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, attending a festive gathering, or relaxing indoors, these cool, creamy truffles are a refreshing and luxurious treat to share.

    • 10g unsalted butter
    • 25g Tea Drop Pure Organic Matcha, plus extra for dusting

    4. Roll and coat:

      • Roll teaspoon-sized portions of the truffle mixture into balls.
      • For Matcha White Chocolate Truffles: Dust with extra Tea Drop Pure Organic Matcha.
      • For Milk Chocolate Matcha Truffles: Roll in cocoa powder.
      • For Pistachio & Date Truffles: Coat in crushed pistachios mixed with a little matcha powder.
