TeaChat

Just wanted opinions of people that have had it or were thinking about trying it. Wouldn't the matcha be a little overpowering? Just a thought

I've yet to try matcha flavored chocolate, but I have had a variety of green tea chocolate, and it has never been overpowering.

I've never had it, but I highly doubt the matcha would be overpowering. I made a matcha milkshake once, with a hefty amount of matcha, and I couldnt taste the matcha at all. I would believe the chocolate would way-overpower the matcha unless they added an insane amount of matcha to it, or seperate matcha flavoring.

I suppose the only case where the matcha could be overpowering is with white chocolate. Even so... I doubt it would be. When I make matcha ice cream, even though I add a sizable amount of matcha, the matcha flavor is there but it's not very intense.

...I agree, I use matcha in cooking all the time, it is never overpowering.

In fact there is another thread on the subject.

matcha and chocolate

So the consensus is its not overpowering but good? Should I at least venture out and try? Even more curious now. You guys are bad, teasing me a little each way to venture into this crazy tea world.

By all means, go out and grab up all the matcha-food you can.

There isn't a single place over here for me to find the stuff.

I'm seriously deficient.

Always

I have tried some little matcha truffles.

I really didn't like them very much. I don't really think that green tea and chocolate make for the greatest flavor combination.

If I find any good tea infused chocolates will let the forum know. I'm not quite sold on it yet but will have to try to see.

If you can find a source for those matcha kit-kats they have in Japan I will love you.

Bambooforest might..He gave me a link a while ago, but it was lost when my computer died.

Apparently there are several varieties of matcha Kit-Kat bars in Japan. I found links for two different types on a US vendor, and neither are the first type I saw:

Green Tea "Melty" Kit-Kat
Green Tea Milk Kit-Kat
You can get both as well as four other types of green tea chocolate candies here for about $15 USD.

I just had an oral orgasm.

Thank you Mary, thank you very much.

Yummmm, pocky sticks....haven't had those since i was a kid.
