GRANDIR and Mori Han Join Forces Again!
Starting May 1, 2026, the celebrated bakery GRANDIR in Kyoto will launch a limited-time collaborative product line with Mori Han, a distinguished tea merchant from Uji. This partnership showcases five new bakery items that highlight the premium first flush tea, expertly curated by tea masters.
Among the new offerings is the enhanced
Kyo-Nama Chigiri Bread – Uji First Flush Tea, which promises refreshing flavors that beautifully balance the bitterness and freshness of Uji matcha with the zesty aroma of yuzu. This delightful bread not only captivates with its mochi-like texture but also caters to the sweet tooth with a hint of smooth white chocolate.
In addition to this stellar bread, customers can enjoy a vibrant green and white marbled
Bagel - Uji Matcha and Black Honey Milk, which combines matcha-infused dough crafted from first flush tea with a rich black honey milk cream. This unique bagel offers a delightful treat reminiscent of Japanese sweets.
Another standout product is the
Scone - Cracked Chocolate Matcha, which was hugely popular last year, selling over 16,000 units in just two months. This scone marries the delicate essence of first flush tea with the indulgent sweetness of cracked chocolate brownies, creating a perfect companion for an afternoon tea.
Also available is the
Matcha Cookie Cream, a delightful cream-filled treat featuring a blend of rich milk cream and crunchy cocoa biscuits enveloped in matcha dough. Finally, don’t miss out on the
White Japone with Uji Matcha, a matcha-flavored twist on GRANDIR's famous Japone filled with a mochi-like sweet red bean paste and salted butter, a combination that is both refreshing and satisfying.
All these enticing products will be available from May 1 to June 30, 2026, with pricing starting at just 320 yen up to 730 yen. However, please note that availability may vary by location, and items are limited to stock on hand.
