Popular "Fragrant Tea Gelato" Using Tea Extracted to Dozens of Times Concentration Instead of Water
What is "Fragrant Tea Gelato"?
While water is typically used when making gelato, our gelato uses tea extracted to dozens of times concentration from premium matcha that won the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award, quality tea leaves from around the world including China, India, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and various herbs, instead of water.
It is truly "fragrant tea gelato" where the refreshing fragrance of tea leaves spreads in your mouth after the rich gelato made with fruits and milk.
