The Uji Matcha and Gyokuro Houjicha Financier Set is a delicious and unique way to enjoy the flavors of Japanese tea. Each set contains 4 of each flavor, in a small size that makes them perfect for sampling, or for sharing with friends and family.
The Uji Matcha Financier is made with premium Uji matcha, which is known for its rich, smooth flavor. The matcha gives the financier a subtle sweetness and a slightly bitter aftertaste, which is balanced by almond powder and wheat flour. The result is a cake that is both delicate and flavorful.
The Gyokuro Houjicha Financier is made with Gyokuro hojicha, which is a roasted green tea that has a nutty, roasted flavor. The hojicha gives the financier a warm and comforting taste, which is complemented by the almond powder and wheat flour. The result is a cake that is both rich and satisfying.
Both financiers are made with a traditional French technique called sablage, which involves mixing the almond powder and flour together with sugar and butter until it resembles coarse sand. This technique gives the financiers a light and airy texture.
The Uji Matcha and Gyokuro Houjicha Financier Set is a perfect way to enjoy the flavors of Japanese tea in a delicious and elegant pastry. The financiers are small enough to be enjoyed as a snack or dessert, and they are also a great gift for tea lovers.
