What Makes This Different
Most matcha doughnuts use matcha as a colour — a green glaze over a standard jam filling. Open one and the matcha ends at the surface.
The Ciao Matcha is built differently.
The matcha goes inside. House-made matcha white chocolate cream — smooth, velvety, rich — made with Blendsmiths Wakaba Ceremonial Matcha. The glaze is matcha too. The same ceremonial grade, the same Wakaba leaves.
This is what a proper matcha doughnut tastes like. You notice the difference in the first bite.
That matcha green glaze is very photogenic — the most vibrant doughnut we’ve made.
The Collab
Blendsmiths is a London matcha brand. Their Wakaba Ceremonial Matcha is named after the Japanese word for “young leaf” — the early tea leaves of spring, chosen for their vibrant colour and deep flavour profile.
Wakaba offers sweet, nutty notes with a subtle umami finish and balanced tannins. No nose-pinching bitterness, no green powder taste. Ceremonial grade only — smooth, mellow finish, naturally vibrant colour. Revered for a smoother caffeine buzz than coffee, antioxidant-rich and versatile enough to drink straight, blend with milk, or — as Blendsmiths put it — bake into something magical.
That’s exactly what we did.
“We’ve always made things from scratch — the dough, the fillings, everything. When we met Blendsmiths and tasted their matcha, the idea came instantly. What if we put this inside a bombolone? We’ve always believed the best things happen when you care deeply about your ingredients. Blendsmiths share that obsession. Their ceremonial-grade matcha deserved more than a latte — and we knew exactly what to do with it.”
Sonia Pash, Co-founder, Bombolone Doughnuts
The Matcha Drinks
Alongside the Ciao Matcha doughnut, Bombolone is adding three Blendsmiths matcha drinks to the menu until 3rd July 2026.
MATCHA LATTE
Blendsmiths Wakaba Ceremonial Matcha, steamed milk. Sweet, nutty, naturally smooth — the ceremonial matcha latte London has been waiting for.
ICED MATCHA LATTE
The same ceremonial matcha, served cold over ice. The drink that photographs before you reach the counter.
ICED MANGO MATCHA
Blendsmiths Wakaba matcha, mango, ice. The most unexpected combination on the menu — and the one people keep ordering twice. Mango matcha London, made the Bombolone way.
ICED STRAWBERRY MATCHA
Ceremonial matcha meets strawberry. Served cold over ice, bright pink and green, naturally sweet. The one that stops people at the counter.
ICED BANANA CLOUD MATCHA
Blendsmiths Wakaba matcha, banana, a cold foam cloud on top. Smooth underneath, creamy above.
Available at 21 Whitcomb Street for the duration of the collab
