🎌 Strong Tea Langue de Chat "Tea Confection"

The signature product launched by the Western confectionery store "MALEBRANCHE," which opened its main store in Kitayama, Kyoto in 1982. The Langue de Chat cookies are made with Uji tea roasted from Uji Shirakawa and feature a special white chocolate filling, offering a unique texture. They are regarded as a classic Kyoto dessert. Only first flush tea, harvested once a year, is used in the production. The harvested tea leaves are exclusively blended by skilled tea tasters and then meticulously brewed over a long period to create a rich tea. The concentrated tea, which contains the natural sweetness of matcha, is mixed into the batter, resulting in Langue de Chat cookies that melt in your mouth. They have a high-temperature resistant color, texture, and aroma, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tea astringency. Great attention is also paid to the visual aspect; each Langue de Chat cookie is stamped, reflecting Kyoto's cultural emphasis on "patterns." Furthermore, the logo on the outer box and wrapping paper incorporates a Kyoto-style design, making it visually pleasing.
