The Sables Thé Vert du Japon Matcha (reference E36) are Mariage Frères shortbread biscuits flavoured with matcha, the Japanese green tea in powder form. The 150 g pouch holds twenty biscuits, packed in inner bags to keep them fresh.

What do these shortbreads contain?

The recipe is that of a butter shortbread: wheat flour, sugar, butter, egg, Mariage Frères tea, salt and carotene. They contain wheat, milk and egg, and may contain traces of tree nuts: the full list of allergens is shown on this page.

What do they taste like?

The biscuit is crisp and buttery. The matcha brings a vegetal, slightly umami note that balances the richness of the butter. It is a delicacy of great finesse, which leaves room for the tea served alongside.

When should you serve them?

They accompany a cup of tea at any time of day. To extend the taste of Japan, serve them with a Japanese green tea or a bowl of matcha, such as Matcha Midori; our matcha guide explains how to prepare it with a whisk. The house's other biscuits are gathered in the shortbread section.
