BIBELOT SOUTH MELBOURNE
Welcome to our very first installment of MATCHA MAIDEN LOVES. Through our work, the Matcha Maiden team comes across so many incredible businesses and talented food enthusiasts and we wanted to start sharing some of our discoveries with you all. Feel free to send through any suggestions!
First up is one of our beautiful cafes, Bibelot South Melbourne, which has a more extensive #mixnmatcha repertoire than any other member of the family. Their mind blowing Matcha Maiden green tea range has just been released, so we thought they’d make a great place to start (and would provide you all with some inspiration for your own creations). The word “bibelot” means a small object of curiosity, beauty or desire and every item from this luxury european-inspired dessert boutique fits that description perfectly. Bibelot is brought to you from the legends behind Melbourne institution, Chez Dre, and includes an artisanal patisserie, gelateria, coffee bar, chocolate shop, high tea salon & a library of coffee table books for any dessert aficionado.
We spent the most enjoyable morning in their stunningly designed space (with the lovely General Manager, Kirsten) taste-testing and snapping away each Matcha Maiden creation for your enjoyment. A description of each delectable item is provided below with our favourite shots. While our #mixnmatcha has incredible health properties and works amazingly in health-focused clean-eating recipes, it can also bring the smoothest flavour and vibrant colour to the most indulgent of treats. Bibelot showcases the more opulent and artisanal side of our gorgeous green powder and we couldn’t be more impressed! Enjoy!

Iced Matcha
Matcha powder mixed with milk, slightly sweetened and poured over green tea gelato, served with black & white sesame tuille. An amazing alternative to the regular green tea latte, which will be your new best friend when Summer comes!
