Tea-Flavored Macarons in Taiwan | Matcha, Oolong & Hojicha Creations

April 20, 2026

At HABIBI Macaron, flavor creation is never accidental. With our Tea Collection, we explore a more nuanced territory of taste—where infusion, roasting, and aromatic balance redefine what premium macarons in Taiwan can be.

This collection reflects a growing appreciation for tea-based desserts, Asian-inspired flavors, and less sugary, more structured indulgence. Rather than isolating each macaron as a standalone flavor, we designed a cohesive experience where teas—matcha, jasmine, hojicha, genmaicha, and oolong—interact with fruits, nuts, and seeds to create layered, evolving profiles.

The structure of the collection begins with contrast and clarity. Matcha, with its deep vegetal intensity, is paired with strawberry to introduce brightness and natural acidity. This interaction softens the bitterness of the tea while preserving its identity, resulting in a profile that is both vibrant and controlled—an essential balance in modern luxury macarons.

At the more delicate end of the spectrum, jasmine tea is combined with pear to create a light, floral composition. The aromatic lift of jasmine enhances the natural sweetness of the fruit, producing an airy and elegant macaron that reflects the refinement expected in high-end French pâtisserie.

Roasted notes bring depth and warmth to the collection. Hojicha, known for its toasted and slightly smoky character, is paired with roasted hazelnut to amplify its natural roundness. This creates a macaron that is rich yet not heavy, appealing to those who seek a more comforting, grounded flavor profile.

In parallel, genmaicha introduces a more unexpected dimension. Its signature blend of green tea and roasted rice delivers a subtle cereal-like note, which is elevated by the smoothness of white sesame. The result is a balanced, slightly savory composition that stands out within the category of creative macaron flavors.

Oolong completes the collection by bridging freshness and complexity. Its semi-oxidized profile brings both floral and woody notes, which are refined through the addition of apple. This pairing introduces a crisp, juicy element that enhances the tea’s natural depth while maintaining a clean and elegant finish.

Texture, as always, remains central to the HABIBI experience. Each macaron is designed to deliver a precise contrast between the delicate shell and the smooth ganache, allowing the aromatic profile of the tea to unfold progressively.

What defines this Tea Collection is not only the quality of ingredients, but the precision in how they are composed. Each pairing is intentional, ensuring that no element dominates, and that every bite reflects balance, clarity, and sophistication.

This approach positions the collection within the evolving landscape of premium macarons in Taiwan—where consumers increasingly value originality, lower sugar content, and deeper flavor architecture inspired by both French technique and Asian ingredients.

More than a collection, this is a study in taste—where tea becomes the foundation of a new expression of macaron craftsmanship.
