MONIN developed Blood Orange syrup to fulfil demand from the Japanese market for an acidic orange flavour.

A type of orange so-called because of the intense crimson colour of its flesh, Blood Orange has a unique flavour profile with a distinctly raspberry-like taste in addition to the usual citrus notes.

The Tarocco blood orange is now the main orange grown in Italy and Sicily, while there are two other varieties which come from Spain (Sanguinello) and the USA (Moro). Many Italian and Sicilian recipes incorporate this sweet, seedless variety and it is often used in salads, vinaigrette dressing , baking and marmalade. It is also used in green tea.

Add the juicy, raspberry-citrus fruit taste and attractive ruby red of MONIN Blood Orange to your cocktails, sodas and teas and stand out from the crowd!

Matcha is a special type of green tea: a precious, jewel-green. It is the highest quality tea available in Japan. The tea leaves are hand-picked from various varieties of tea plants, blended to produce the best flavour and stone ground into a fine powder. Matcha has been used for over eight hundred years in Zen Buddhist ceremonies. For the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony, it is drunk from a single bowl as a sacrament. Green tea is getting more and more popular with the growing awareness of its health benefits, and Matcha is even healthier as leaves are consumed entirely. The high concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fibres makes the Matcha one of the healthiest natural beverages.
