Any type of sweet dessert pairs very well with matcha and acts as the perfect counterbalance to the tea's bitter notes.

Most sweet flavors will work with this beverage. If you don't want to alter the taste, use honey, agave, sugar, or a substitute like stevia. Maple syrup and coconut sugar also work well but could slightly change the flavor.
Matcha, or green tea powder, can be traced as far back as China's Tang dynasty of 618-907. During this time, tea leaves were steamed and formed into bricks to simplify transportation and trade. To prepare the tea, the bricks would be roasted and pulverised into a powder then mixed with hot water and salt. During the Song dynasty (960-1279) the practice of whipping the tea powder and hot water in a bowl was introduced, a traditional preparation method that remains popular today.
