The biscotti really doesn't need oil. I can't go back to the ones that call for a stick of butter anymore when I already have a solid recipe. Aron, thanks for the suggestions.

I'm not sure how much you'd use in this recipe in particular, but for making an 8 oz. cup of matcha, you usually use about 1 tsp of the powder- so I wouldn't go above 1-2 teaspoons to start with, as matcha, if you've never had it before, is a bit different from regular green tea. I've used both green tea leaves from tea bags as and matcha itself in baking before, and the matcha definitely lends a better flavour, as well as a prettier colour :) I suggest trying cheesecake with it- delicious!

Perhaps a semi-fermented Oolong might do it? These biscotti sound wonderful! I suggest maybe a more intense tea? Perhaps a semi-fermented Oolong might do it? These biscotti sound wonderful!

But of course, it does seem only natural. These look really nice. Wow, green tea is popping up everywhere — in drinks, in cakes, and now in biscotti. But of course, it does seem only natural.

Not sure about matcha as I have not used it but I suspect it will be stronger. Jessica, I find cooking my savoury stuff with green tea was subtle too as the tea is not that strong a flavor.
