Japanese Tea Cookie

Japanese Tea Cookie is a sweet, tea-flavored cookie commonly found in Japanese and fusion bakeries, often made with green tea (matcha) or hojicha for its distinctive aroma and color. It is a treat-style snack and is known more for its flavor than for nutritional benefit. Nutritionally it tends to be high in added sugars — about 45.4g per 100g — while providing only modest protein and fiber, and relatively low fat. From a health perspective, this is a processed snack best enjoyed occasionally; choosing whole-grain or lower-sugar biscuit alternatives will improve fiber and reduce refined-sugar intake.
