Seven shades of green, one story

It starts soft. The first stick is a pale jade green, creamy and mild, a whisper of matcha. With every shade the green grows deeper and the taste grows bolder: fresher, fuller, a little more bitter. Until the seventh stick, with 25% matcha, close to the limit of what chocolate can carry.

We did not make these levels to rank them. We made them to show what matcha can do: how one tea can be sweet and gentle, then deep and grassy, all in one box. Two hojicha sticks close the journey, roasted and warm, like the last light of the day.

There is nothing to hide behind. Just chocolate, matcha and cocoa butter, without flavourings or emulsifiers. The green you see is the matcha itself.

And then there is the box. Lift the lid and the tray rises to meet you: sixteen sticks in a row, from light to dark, like a colour chart of matcha. A gift that opens like a small ceremony.

7 levels of matcha chocolate became a hit on social media, with videos watched millions of times. Now you can taste every level for yourself.

How to taste

  1. Start with the lightest stick and let it melt slowly on your tongue.
  2. Work your way up through the shades. Notice how the taste gets fresher, deeper and slightly more bitter.
  3. Take a sip of water between strengths.
  4. Finish with hojicha: roasted, warm and nutty after all that green.
What is 7-level matcha chocolate?

Matcha chocolate in 7 levels is a set of matcha chocolate sticks with a little more matcha in every level, from mild to intense. In 7 Shades of Matcha Chocolate the levels run from 1.2% to 25% matcha, two sticks of each, plus two hojicha sticks. Read more about matcha chocolate.

How strong is the strongest stick?

The darkest stick contains 25% matcha. That is about as much matcha as chocolate can hold while keeping its shape.

What is hojicha?

Hojicha is green tea that is roasted after the leaves have been steamed and dried. The roasting turns the tea brown and gives it a warm, nutty taste with hints of caramel.

Does 7 Shades of Matcha Chocolate contain caffeine?

Yes. Matcha and hojicha both come from the tea plant, so the sticks contain some caffeine. The darker the stick, the more matcha it contains.
