The brand infuses match powder with white chocolate to create the treat. A shocking bright green, the bar might confuse a lot of Britons with its interesting hue. Now the bars will be made in Hamburg, Germany, and rolled out across the country, then the UK, Sweden an Italy. Alexander von Maillot, global head of confectionery at Nestlé, said: "The launches of KitKat Ruby and KitKat green tea matcha are further proof of our commitment to our leading international confectionery brand. "We have introduced other innovative flavours and premium products to KitKat, KitKat Chunky and KitKat Senses in recent years and there is more to come."
