Fox's Chocolatey Biscuits Matcha Indulgent Creams, 122g
Anyone hoping for the vegetal, astringent hit of a properly whisked bowl will put this down after one. Fat and sugar in a cream filling round the green note off towards a latte, and what survives is a faint tea edge at the back that keeps the biscuit from reading as plain sweet, with the chocolate giving it something darker to lean against. Serve it with a plain black tea or a light bright coffee rather than more green tea, which simply cancels it out. We stock it because a biscuit that genuinely tastes of tea is a rare thing, and this one does.
Fox's Chocolatey Biscuits Matcha Indulgent Creams, in brief.
Fox's Chocolatey Biscuits Matcha Indulgent Creams is a 122g pack of sandwich cream biscuits carrying a green tea note through the filling, softened by cream and set against chocolate, picked into the Teas.co.uk selection as the rare biscuit that actually tastes of tea.
Do not expect the astringent hit of a whisked matcha: a cream filling rounds the tea note towards a matcha latte. Serve it with a plain black tea rather than with more matcha, which simply cancels itself out.
That is the honest description of what this biscuit does, and whether it appeals depends on what you want from it. Nobody should buy this expecting the astringent, vegetal hit of a properly whisked matcha, because a cream filling cannot deliver one and is not trying to. What it does deliver is a green tea note running through a sweet sandwich biscuit, and against the chocolate in the pack that reads as a genuine contrast rather than a novelty. For a tea shop it is an obvious stock item: a biscuit that tastes of tea.

The Story Behind The Pack
Fox's is one of the large British biscuit names, and the Chocolatey range is where it runs flavours that a traditional biscuit tin would not carry. A matcha cream sits at the far end of that: a Japanese tea ingredient inside a British sandwich biscuit, sold on a supermarket shelf next to bourbons and custard creams. It exists because matcha has moved out of the tea room and into cafes, ice cream and baking over the last decade, and the biscuit aisle followed.
What we will not tell you is how the matcha character is achieved in this particular product. The same goes for the caffeine question that follows from it. Tea leaf carries caffeine and a flavouring does not, the brand publishes no figure for this biscuit, and we are not going to invent one. Read the current UK pack if either of those matters to you.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
Our Commitment To The Planet
- The pack that arrives is the current UK retail pack rather than an import made to a different recipe.
- 122g is a small, finishable pack. A speciality flavour bought in a large box is the classic way to end up throwing biscuits away, and this size avoids it.

The taste profile
How does it compare
There is a trap in pairing this one, and it is worth saying plainly. The obvious move is to serve a matcha alongside a matcha biscuit, and it is the wrong move: two versions of the same note, one sweet and one bitter, cancel each other out and the drink comes off worse. What works is either a clean contrast or a clean neutral, and both are easy to get right.
The Contrast Cup
The Neutral Cup
Made with this tea
The Contrast Cup
How to make The Contrast Cup with Fox's Matcha Indulgent Creams.
- 2 matcha cream biscuits
- 1 bag plain black tea
- 220ml water at a full boil
- Take the biscuits out of the cupboard five minutes early. A cold filling holds the tea note in and you lose most of it.
- Brew one bag of plain black tea in 220ml straight off the boil for four minutes, covered.
- Serve black and unsweetened. Tannin against cream is the whole point, and milk or sugar removes it.
- Sip, then bite, then sip again. The green note shows up most clearly on the second sip.
What you'll end up with: The pairing that lets the matcha stand out instead of competing with it.
Cold Sencha Serve
How to make Cold Sencha Serve with Fox's Matcha Indulgent Creams.
- 8 matcha cream biscuits
- 3 bags sencha or plain green tea
- 1 litre cold water
- Ice
- Drop 3 bags of green tea into 1 litre of cold water and leave it in the fridge overnight. Cold brewing takes the bitterness out entirely.
- Lift the bags out in the morning and keep it chilled. Do not sweeten it.
- Pour over ice and serve the biscuits at room temperature alongside.
- This is the one green-on-green pairing that works, because the cold brew has no bitterness to clash with the filling.
What you'll end up with: The cleanest warm-weather version of a tea-room pairing, built from a supermarket biscuit.
Crushed Matcha Cream Ice Cream Topping
How to make Crushed Matcha Cream Ice Cream Topping with Fox's Matcha Indulgent Creams.
- 3 matcha cream biscuits
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- A pinch of flaky salt
- Crush three biscuits roughly with the flat of a knife, keeping the filling in visible pieces rather than working it to dust.
- Scoop plain vanilla ice cream, not a green or a chocolate one; vanilla is the neutral that lets the tea note show.
- Scatter the rubble over and finish with a pinch of flaky salt.
- Serve straight away, before the shells soften into the ice cream.
What you'll end up with: A matcha sundae for the price of three biscuits, and the salt is what makes it work.
No Bake Matcha Fridge Slice
How to make No Bake Matcha Fridge Slice with Fox's Matcha Indulgent Creams.
- 122g matcha cream biscuits, the whole pack
- 60g melted butter
- 150g white chocolate
- 75ml double cream
- Crush the whole pack, filling and all, to a coarse crumb and stir through 60g of melted butter.
- Press into a lined 18cm square tin and chill for 30 minutes.
- Melt 150g of white chocolate with 75ml of double cream, stir smooth and pour over the base.
- Chill for three hours and cut into 9 squares. Use a warm knife and wipe it between cuts.
What you'll end up with: A green-flecked fridge slice where the tea note comes through the sweetness rather than under it.
The Three Cup Tasting Flight
How to make The Three Cup Tasting Flight with Fox's Matcha Indulgent Creams.
- 6 matcha cream biscuits
- 1 bag plain black tea
- 1 bag sencha or plain green tea
- 1 cup of light, bright black coffee
- Brew the black tea at a full boil for four minutes and the green at 80 degrees for two. Keep both unsweetened.
- Pour a small cup of each and a short black coffee beside them.
- Taste one biscuit with each cup in turn, clearing the palate with cold water between them.
- Note which one lets the green come through. Most people land on the black tea, and it is worth finding out whether you do.
What you'll end up with: Twelve minutes that settle the pairing argument for good, using one pack and three cups.

Ingredient and nutrition information for this product, as published on the manufacturer's label. The pack in your hands is the final word.
| Ingredient | Proportion | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Sandwich biscuit shells | the structure | A plain sweet biscuit either side of the filling. Its job is to carry the cream and give the bite something to break against. |
| Matcha cream filling | the centre | The green tea note, rounded by fat and sugar into something closer to a matcha latte than to a whisked bowl. A trace of the tea's own bitterness survives and keeps the biscuit from reading as plain sweet. |
| Chocolate | part of the build | The counterweight. A darker note for the green one to sit against, which is what makes the flavour read as a contrast rather than a novelty. |
