Hello everyone~! I'm Saori from Japanese Snacks Republic!

This time! I’d like to introduce a tart wrapped in the delightful aroma of tea, with a deliciously subtle bitterness! It has a moist and soft texture, and it’s also popular as a souvenir that pairs well with coffee or tea~!

Tarts like these are often quite sweet, but the newly released Shizuoka Tea Tart highlights a subtle bitterness as its appeal!

Shizuoka tea is known as one of Japan’s three great teas, along with Uji tea and Sayama tea—a name synonymous with premium tea! Although there are slight variations between different regions in Shizuoka, the common trait is deep-steamed tea, which results in a deep green color and rich flavor. It’s known for its profound taste, bold tea notes, fragrant aroma, and refreshing flavor!

The Shizuoka Tea Tart is packed with all those unique features and flavors! It might sound surprising (or maybe not), but although it’s green tea flavored, it goes really well with coffee or black tea! The key point is that it’s not overly sweet! So if you’re thinking ‘I want to try a Japanese-style tart~!’ this Shizuoka Tea Tart is definitely for you!
