One of my friend is a green tea lover...yes, me too. She will drop by my place this evening and she requested a green tea cake.

I know that her daughter loves chocolate, my friend loves green tea and all kinds of bean. I think this roll will be able to satisfy both of them. Yes, greentea is perfect when it comes together with red bean , but kidney bean is also good. I couldn't get Japanese red bean paste here, so I used kidney beans instead.

I used green tea powder that one of my Japanese friend gave me. It produces such a nice aroma on the final cake. I normally don't add any color to my cakes, but this tea makes a very nice color, I think.

I chose non-diary whipped cream for fillings. The kidney beans add beautiful colors to this roll. To add a final touch , I grated bittersweet chocolate and sprikle on top. Chocolate and greentea....very nice.
