Willie’s Cacao Matcha Truffles
Based in Devon, England, Willie Harcourt-Cooze is as passionate about chocolate as we are about tea! The first premium chocolate maker in the UK to produce chocolate from ‘bean to bar’, Willie personally sources the great single estate cocoas directly from the farmers and then turns them into chocolate in small batches. This process takes 21 days and preserves the delicate flavours of the beans, which, like the leaves that make our great teas or the grapes that make fine wines, all taste remarkably different.
The recipe for the single origin bars is simple: cocoa, natural cocoa butter and raw cane sugar, nothing to interfere with the flavour of the beans. He also uses less cacao butter than most chocolate makers, because this allows the flavours to last longer in the mouth.
Needless to say, the quality of the white chocolate used to make these Matcha Truffles is of the same high standard as the single-origin bars: The chocolate uses natural cacao butter, no vanilla and much less sugar than usual. The matcha used in the filling is made from Kotabuki green tea from Uji, the home of matcha.
Willie’s Cacao Matcha Truffles pair beautifully with a strong black tea such as Assam Mangalam or the Chinese black tea Golden Monkey.
