Matcha Hot Cross Bun

Easter gets a refined twist with our limited edition Matcha Hot Cross Bun — a bold, flavour-forward take on the traditional favourite. Designed for those who love something a little different, this modern Easter creation balances earthy matcha, delicate sweetness and creamy texture in every bite.

At the base is a beautifully soft matcha bun, infused with premium green tea powder for a naturally vibrant colour and gently earthy flavour. The bun is light and fluffy, with a tender crumb that carries the subtle bitterness of matcha without overwhelming the palate. Instead of the classic spiced fruit profile, this version leans into Japanese-inspired flavours, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional hot cross buns.

Inside, you’ll find a generous filling of light red bean diplomat cream. This luxurious cream combines silky custard with softly whipped cream, folded together to create a texture that’s airy yet rich. The red bean element brings a gentle sweetness and nutty depth that pairs beautifully with the grassy notes of matcha. It’s smooth, balanced and not overly sweet — making it the perfect contrast to the bun’s subtle bitterness.

The top is finished with a glossy layer of matcha ganache, adding an extra hit of green tea flavour and a creamy, indulgent finish. The ganache melts slightly as you bite in, coating the bun with smooth matcha richness. To complete the experience, we’ve added a delicate crumble topping, bringing texture and a subtle buttery crunch that elevates every mouthful.

This is not your standard Easter hot cross bun. It’s a contemporary reimagining — ideal for those seeking a unique Easter dessert, a gourmet hot cross bun in Melbourne, or something special for Easter brunch and afternoon tea. The combination of matcha and red bean is beloved for a reason: it delivers balance, elegance and complexity while remaining comforting and satisfying.

Perfect served slightly warmed to soften the diplomat cream and ganache, the Matcha Hot Cross Bun makes a standout addition to your Easter table. Pair it with a matcha latte for a layered green tea experience, or enjoy it with coffee for a contrast that highlights the red bean’s sweetness.

If you’re searching for matcha hot cross buns in Melbourne, Japanese-inspired Easter desserts, or a premium Easter bakery treat, this limited edition creation is not to be missed. It’s designed for adventurous flavour lovers who appreciate refined pastries and seasonal exclusives.
