🍡 Description
Pocky are crunchy wheat sticks coated in a delicate layer of matcha (green tea) – sweet yet slightly bitter at the same time, with the characteristic flavour of Japanese matcha tea. These popular snack sticks combine a crispy dried wheat base with a delicious chocolate-matcha coating, making them ideal as a sweet little treat to enjoy with coffee or tea, or as a dessert.

• Texture: a crunchy biscuit coated in a thin layer of matcha glaze – the contrast between the crisp biscuit and the smooth glaze makes every bite a delightful experience.
