Matcha & Black Bean Cake: A Comforting Tea Time Surprise

You already know I love a good matcha moment—and this one feels extra special.

I’m sipping Jyoraku Matcha, the same ceremonial blend used in Urasenkei tea schools right here in the Pacific Northwest. It’s the matcha my family sold for years—and one that I feel deeply connected to.

Today, I paired it with a cake inspired by @literallyjust_agirl (insta/tiktok)—a creator I’ve been loving lately.

Her story growing up in an Amish family and her easy, healthy dessert recipes are just… soothing.

This black bean cake doesn’t even taste like beans—it’s soft, a little sweet, and a perfect complement to a grassy, elegant matcha.

A little tradition, a little modern inspiration, a lot of cozy.

Let tea time surprise you now and then.
