Which Matcha tea to use for Biscotti?
Depending on the processing of this incredible tea you can find 3 different grades : the Ceremonial, the Premium and the Culinary.
For this recipe I recommend you use the Culinary Grade that is very suitable for the preparation of cake and biscuit recipes.
Or a Premium Grade for a slightly stronger taste.
The Ceremonial Grade is the most valuable and is used for preparing tea.
