Camellia Sinensis’ matcha affogato recipe combines the earthy, umami-rich flavors of finely powdered green tea with the creamy sweetness of vanilla ice cream, resulting in a harmonious balance of textures and tastes. The preparation is simple yet refined. It requires no specialized equipment beyond a whisk. One will require only a few ingredients, including premium matcha, hot water, and ice cream. Camellia Sinensis recommends Matcha Sora. Sourced from Uji, Japan, the matcha is cultivated by a family with centuries of expertise, ensuring a product with vibrant color and complex flavor notes.
Tea enthusiasts may appreciate the opportunity to experience a high-grade matcha in a new context, while those new to Japanese green tea might find this dessert an approachable introduction to its flavors.
