Matcha lovers in Malaysia have another dessert to add to their must-try list. Verrona Hills has introduced a brand new creation, the Nishio Matcha Red Bean Swiss Roll, bringing together the familiar Japanese-inspired pairing of matcha and red bean in a soft, light Swiss roll.

Available for a limited period from 14 August to 13 September 2026, the new dessert gives anyone with a weakness for matcha a good reason to make a stop at their nearest Verrona Hills outlet. The new offering is available at Verrona Hills stores nationwide, making it easier for dessert fans in different parts of Malaysia to have a chance to try it.

Rather than going for an overly complicated dessert, this new Swiss roll focuses on three simple elements that work particularly well together: Nishio Matcha, Azuki red bean and a soft sponge cake. Each component has its own character, but the idea is to bring them together into one balanced dessert that can be enjoyed as an afternoon treat, after-meal dessert or simply something sweet to look forward to during the day.

A New Treat for Matcha Fans

Matcha has become a favourite flavour among Malaysian dessert lovers, but not every matcha dessert offers the same experience. Some are very sweet, while others put too much emphasis on the bitterness of the tea. The Nishio Matcha Red Bean Swiss Roll takes a more balanced approach by combining the earthy character of matcha with the natural sweetness of red bean.

The highlight is the use of Nishio Matcha, giving the Swiss roll its distinctive green tea character. Nishio is known for producing matcha with an aromatic and refined flavour profile, and it brings an earthy quality with a pleasant bittersweet finish to this dessert.

For those who enjoy matcha because they appreciate its slightly bitter and grassy taste, this is the part of the dessert that should stand out. At the same time, the matcha is not left to dominate the entire bite.

That is where the red bean comes in.

Matcha and Azuki Red Bean: A Classic Combination

Matcha and red bean have long been a popular pairing in Japanese-inspired desserts. The gentle sweetness of Azuki red bean works particularly well with the more intense flavour of matcha, creating a contrast that makes both ingredients more enjoyable.

In the Nishio Matcha Red Bean Swiss Roll, the Azuki red bean adds a naturally sweet element alongside its soft texture. This helps balance the bittersweet notes of the matcha, making the overall dessert more approachable for those who may prefer something smoother and sweeter.

It is also a combination that should appeal to people who already enjoy desserts such as matcha cakes, red bean buns, Japanese-style pastries and other green tea treats. Instead of having to choose between matcha and red bean, this new Swiss roll brings both together in a single dessert.

For first-time matcha eaters, the red bean also provides a familiar sweetness that can make the stronger flavour of matcha feel less overwhelming.

Soft Sponge Cake Completes the Dessert

The third part of the dessert is the sponge cake itself. A good Swiss roll needs more than an attractive filling, because the texture of the cake can make a big difference to the overall experience.

Verrona Hills describes the sponge as soft, airy and delicately sweet. The light texture is designed to wrap around the matcha and red bean filling without making the dessert feel unnecessarily heavy.

This combination makes sense for Malaysian dessert fans who may be looking for something that can be enjoyed with a cup of coffee or tea. The sponge provides a soft base, while the matcha and red bean filling supplies the main flavour.

The result is intended to be a dessert that feels indulgent without relying entirely on sweetness.

Available Nationwide for a Limited Time

One of the biggest advantages of this promotion is its availability. The Nishio Matcha Red Bean Swiss Roll is offered at all Verrona Hills store locations nationwide from 14 August until 13 September 2026.

That gives dessert hunters several weeks to make a visit and try the new arrival. It is still worth remembering that this is a limited-time offering, so anyone interested should not assume that it will remain on the menu permanently after the stated period.

There is also no complicated redemption process involved. Customers simply need to visit a Verrona Hills outlet during the availability period and order the Nishio Matcha Red Bean Swiss Roll at the counter.

This makes it a straightforward treat to add to a shopping trip, coffee break or weekend outing.

Why Should They Go and Enjoy This Deal?

The first reason is simple: it is a new dessert. Trying a newly launched menu item can be a fun way to discover another favourite, particularly for people who regularly look for new matcha creations.

The second reason is the combination itself. Matcha and Azuki red bean are flavours that naturally complement each other. The bittersweet character of Nishio Matcha is balanced by the sweeter red bean, while the soft sponge provides a lighter texture to bring everything together.

The limited availability is another reason not to leave it until the last minute. The promotion runs for approximately one month, but limited-time menu items can easily become something that people remember only after the promotion has ended.

For regular Verrona Hills customers, the new Swiss roll is also an easy choice for changing up their usual dessert routine. Instead of ordering the same familiar item every time, they can use this promotion as an opportunity to try something different.

It can also be a convenient option when meeting friends or family. Someone who enjoys matcha may want to try it, while those who prefer sweeter desserts may appreciate the Azuki red bean element. The soft sponge gives the dessert a familiar cake-like quality, making the flavour combination less intimidating for anyone who has not tried matcha-based desserts before.

Most importantly, this is the sort of promotion that does not require complicated planning. There are no complicated steps to follow and no special redemption procedure mentioned. Customers simply need to visit a Verrona Hills store during the promotion period and ask for the new dessert.

A Dessert Worth Adding to the Weekend List

The Nishio Matcha Red Bean Swiss Roll arrives at a good time for anyone looking for something new to try during a café visit or weekend outing. With Nishio Matcha, Azuki red bean and a soft sponge cake coming together, it offers a familiar Japanese-inspired flavour combination in Swiss roll form.

For matcha fans, it could be the chance to enjoy a richer green tea flavour balanced by gentle sweetness. For red bean lovers, the Azuki filling gives the dessert an additional layer of flavour. And for anyone who simply enjoys trying newly launched desserts, the limited-time availability makes it worth adding to the list.

They can visit their nearest Verrona Hills outlet from 14 August to 13 September 2026 and order the Nishio Matcha Red Bean Swiss Roll while it is available.

As with any limited-time menu offering, it is better to try it during the stated period rather than wait and wonder about it later. Pictures are for illustration purposes only, and availability is subject to the stated promotion conditions at participating Verrona Hills stores.

For Malaysian matcha enthusiasts, this new dessert is certainly one to keep an eye out for. A soft Swiss roll, aromatic Nishio Matcha and sweet Azuki red bean make for a combination that could turn an ordinary dessert break into something a little more enjoyable.
