Have you experienced the tea ceremony and drunk the vary strong, special green tea served at that time?  Matcha?  まっちゃ　抹茶

Matcha is also used for making various sweets.  

“Late spring to early summer is the best time to enjoy matcha products in Japan, and numbers of shops, cafes, and restaurants [offer] matcha flavored food and drinks for late May and early June.  Matcha dessert buffet is an anticipated food event of the year, which is held at several hotels in Tokyo such as the ANA Intercontinental Hotel. “  Japan Web Magazine

Of course there is matcha ice cream, which you may have tasted at Japanese restaurants.  Online you can find recipes for matcha desserts:  green tea flavored swiss roll, matcha flavored layered cheesecake, tiramisu with added matcha flavor, matcha flavored macaron.  These are some of the most popular. [ You could classify a matcha latte as a dessert, even though it’s a drink. ]

Japanese-Americans and Japanese nationals in Los Angeles and San Francisco have celebrated matcha festivals in recent years.
