The Poudre de Jade is a culinary creation by Mariage Frères (reference E710): a Matcha green tea from Uji, Japan, ground into a fine powder and designed for sweet cooking. Its net weight is 20 g. It is recognised by its brilliant green colour, almost emerald, and by its delicately umami note, which gives desserts a vegetal character.

Which desserts?

The house intends it for all sweet dishes. It can be dusted on or incorporated:

• into pastries, pancakes and entremets;
• into ice creams and creams;
• into yoghurts and fruit salads;
• onto buttered toast, for an afternoon snack;
• into milk.

How to use it?

Dusted on at the last moment, it adds a touch of colour and flavour to a dessert that is already prepared. Incorporated into a dough, a cream or an ice cream, it flavours and colours the whole mixture. It is then up to you to invent your own recipes. It joins the other products of our fine foods range for cooking.

Matcha to drink or matcha to cook?

Poudre de Jade is designed for cooking. For a bowl of whisked matcha, our range offers Matcha Uji from Mariage Frères, and our matcha guide explains the difference between the grades and how to prepare it.
