The matcha adds a distinct earthy, slightly bitter, and vegetal note, creating a unique flavor profile. The coating is designed to adhere well to the nuts, providing an even distribution of the matcha's taste and color. This snack combines the natural richness of the nuts with the refined taste of premium matcha.
