His name means “taking me” in Italian, referring to the negating combination of coffee and sugar. The dessert has become popular all over the world for its rich and indulgent flavor.
Matcha is a finely ground green powder from Japan. Unlike normal green tea, the match is made up of tea leaves that are in stone in a vibrant green powder. It has a distinctive and slightly bitter flavor and is rich in antioxidants. Traditionally used in Japanese tea ceremonies, the match is now popular in drinks, desserts and culinary preparations all over the world.

Tiramisu’s creamy filling is no exception: the bitter-sweet matcha syrup completes the rich mascarpone well, creating this harmonious and innovative dessert that fills two distinct culinary traditions.
