I mean, can you imagine the taste of that earthy Japanese tea mixed with the sweetness of the classic Krispy Kreme doughnut.

It’s not too bold, not too sugary, as Goldilocks once said: “It’s just right.”

The Strawberry Matcha Doughnut is filled with sweet strawberry filling, with a matcha-flavoured coating, topped with a drizzle of white icing and sour raspberry sprinkles.

Yes, matcha does have caffeine– but not as much as coffee.

While coffee offers a stronger caffeine kick, matcha’s combination of caffeine and L-theanine promotes better cognitive function, and potential benefits for heart health, metabolism, and gut health.
