Matcha Chocolat infusing tea and chocolate which is truly delicious.

 

I recently met with Katie, the lady behind these great new chocolates over a glass of wine at The Partridge in Wallingford, after tasting them with coffee following a meeting.

Katie Christoffers, the creator or Matcha Chocolat, has created something I believe that is unique which are handmade chocolates combining fine chocolate with a wide variety of fine and rare teas, herbs, fruits, and spices from around the world.

Her idea was born to create a confection that would be the perfect balance between the taste of tea and chocolate and I believe that she has captured that market.

Kate is not a chef by trade, but after six years experience in neuroscience and biochemistry research it emerged that she had a great passion for tea and chocolate. So, she now brings her own unique skills to the world of artisan chocolate.

The chocolates are lovely and below is a just a taster of the flavors she has perfected.  

Katie has only been in business just under a year and already she has won the acclaimed 2 Gold Star Great Taste Award for the Jasmine Tea chocolate and 1 Gold Star Great Taste Award for the Violet chocolate which is amazing, so congratulations.
