Matcha Quality Control & Regulatory Compliance

Matcha Quality Control & Regulatory Compliance for Global Markets

How Matcha Safety and Consistency Are Achieved at Industrial Scale
For export-oriented matcha suppliers, quality is no longer defined solely by taste—it is defined by data, traceability, and compliance.
Our matcha production operates under a full-chain quality control system, covering raw material sourcing, processing, and finished product testing. This system supports international markets including EU, North America, Japan, South Korea, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

1. Raw Material Control: From Tea Garden to Factory

Each batch of fresh leaves undergoes:
●Multi-parameter pesticide residue screening
●Heavy metal testing (20+ indicators)
●Traceability documentation
Only compliant batches enter processing, ensuring a clean starting point for Organic & EU Standard Matcha.

2. Process Control: Data-Driven Manufacturing

Key parameters such as:
●Steam fixation temperature
●Drying time and humidity
●Milling temperature and speed
are monitored in real time. This ensures batch-to-batch consistency, especially critical for large-volume B2B customers.

3. Finished Product Testing

Our laboratory is equipped with:
●GC-MS & LC-MS systems
●High-performance liquid chromatography
●Ultra-micro spectrophotometers
This allows precise verification of:
●Amino acid content
●Chlorophyll levels
●Microbial safety
All products are released only after passing FSSC22000, ISO22000, ISO9001, and HACCP requirements.
