Bourbon Truffe Matcha Milk Chocolate

A truffle, at its best, is an exercise in restraint: a smooth, yielding center enclosed in a thin shell, with nowhere to hide and no need to. Bourbon’s truffle matcha is exactly that — a small, considered chocolate that lets a single, well-chosen ingredient do all the work.

That ingredient is matcha, and it appears twice. The center is a soft, creamy matcha ganache — gently bitter, fragrant, and distinctly green tea in character, with a richness that comes from the surrounding chocolate shell rather than from dairy alone.

Enclosing it is a thin layer of chocolate that gives the truffle its structure and a light cocoa counterpoint.

Then, over the entire surface, a dusting of matcha powder — the finishing touch that announces the flavor before the first bite is even taken, releasing a faint, grassy fragrance that is unmistakably Japanese.

The bitterness here is the point. Described by Bourbon as hodo yoi nigami — a well-measured bitterness, neither excessive nor timid — the matcha flavor is present with genuine clarity, the kind that comes from using real tea rather than flavoring.

It is balanced by the sweetness of the shell and the creaminess of the ganache, but it is never softened into something less interesting.

Each piece is small — 7.1g, a single comfortable bite — which concentrates the experience and makes the flavor feel more vivid than a larger piece might.

Part of Bourbon’s Hi-Chocola series, a line of premium truffle chocolates positioned a step above everyday confectionery, truffle matcha sits naturally alongside the series’ other flavors as the distinctly Japanese option: sophisticated, aromatic, and quietly elegant in the way that the best matcha sweets tend to be.

At 71g per box — approximately ten individually wrapped pieces — it is well suited to sharing, gifting, or keeping close at hand for a quiet moment with tea.
