Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt white chocolate in double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a pan of lightly simmering water, stirring often.

Sift matcha powder and ginger over chocolate to make sure there are no lumps. Stir until streaks disappear and chocolate is uniform green in colour. Stir in 1/3 cup (80 mL) mango and 1/4 cup (60 mL) coconut flakes. Spread chocolate mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheet to about 1/4 in (6 mm) thickness and then sprinkle on remaining mango and coconut flakes, as well as cacao nibs.
