Ocelot Matcha Crunch Organic 70% Dark Chocolate Bar 70g

Matcha Organic 70% Dark Chocolate

Ocelot Matcha Crunch Organic 70% Dark Chocolate Bar 70g combines rich organic dark chocolate with the distinctive character of Matcha Iri Genmaicha, a traditional Japanese tea blend made from sencha, matcha and roasted brown rice. Crafted using rare Amelonado cocoa beans grown by a regenerative farming cooperative in Virunga National Park, Eastern Congo, this unique chocolate delivers layers of cocoa richness, gentle bitterness and a satisfying crunch.

The earthy notes of the 70% dark chocolate pair beautifully with the fresh, grassy character of matcha, while the roasted rice adds subtle nuttiness and texture. The result is a chocolate bar that feels both comforting and complex, with a balance of sweetness, umami and roasted flavours that keeps you reaching for another piece. At i4C, we love pairing it with green tea, speciality coffee or enjoying it as an afternoon treat when something a little different is called for. Its distinctive flavour profile, beautiful packaging and artisan credentials also make it an excellent foodie gift for anyone who enjoys Japanese flavours and premium chocolate.

What is Matcha Iri Genmaicha?

Matcha Iri Genmaicha is a traditional Japanese tea blend that combines green tea leaves, matcha powder and roasted brown rice. It is known for its balance of fresh vegetal notes, gentle sweetness, subtle umami character and toasted aromas.

Why do matcha and dark chocolate pair so well?

Both ingredients share naturally complex flavour profiles. The slight bitterness and grassy freshness of matcha contrast beautifully with the rich cocoa notes of dark chocolate, creating a balanced flavour combination that feels refined rather than overly sweet.

Why are Uji and Kagoshima important tea-growing regions?

Uji and Kagoshima are two of Japan's most respected tea-producing areas. Their climate, fertile soils and long tea-growing traditions are known for producing high-quality green teas with exceptional flavour, aroma and depth.
