Matcha Tea & Sea Buckthorn chocolate is a unique confection that combines the vibrant flavor of matcha green tea with the tangy, fruity notes of sea buckthorn. This chocolate typically features high-quality cocoa infused with matcha, offering a rich, earthy taste complemented by the refreshing acidity of sea buckthorn berries.
Fjåk Chocolate, based in Norway, is renowned as the country’s first bean-to-bar chocolate maker. Founded by Agurtxane Concellon and Siv Hereid in 2015, the company began by experimenting with craft chocolate in a modest kitchen before officially launching in 2017.
Fjåk infuses its chocolate with local Nordic ingredients, such as sour cherries, reindeer lichen, and lingonberries, showcasing Norway's natural bounty. This approach is central to Fjåk’s identity, offering a distinctive Norwegian spin on traditional chocolate.
