Matcha desserts are appealing and delicious, thanks to the umami properties of matcha. Matcha desserts are also known as green tea desserts. They are widely popular in Japan and across Asia. The beautiful verdant appearance of matcha desserts make them desirable. Use ceremonial matcha when you can to make your desserts pop with a brighter green. Culinary matcha is usually less expensive; however, your food and desserts end up more gray and dark green than bright green.
