1. Product Concept: What Is Lotus Leaf Matcha Powder?

Lotus Leaf Matcha Powder refers to ultra-fine powdered lotus leaf produced using matcha-inspired processing technology. Fresh lotus leaves from Chuzhou White Lotus are carefully harvested, stabilized, dried, and micronized into a vivid green powder that resembles matcha in appearance and texture, while retaining the functional properties unique to lotus leaf.
This innovative raw material bridges traditional herbal knowledge and modern functional food manufacturing, making lotus leaf easier to formulate, absorb, and apply across global food and beverage industries.

2. Botanical Origin & Cultivation Advantage

●Botanical source: Nelumbo nucifera (lotus leaf)
●Origin: Lishui, China
●Cultivar: Chuzhou White Lotus (GI-certified)
The region’s basin climate, clean mountain spring water, and organic “fish–lotus symbiosis” cultivation system naturally control pests and enhance nutrient accumulation. Leaves are harvested during the mature season (June–September), prioritizing lotus alkaloid content as a key selection criterion.

3. Nutritional Composition (per 100g)

●Protein: 25.4 g
●Dietary fiber: 24.8 g
●Chlorophyll: ≥ 6.0 mg/g
●Lotus leaf alkaloids: ≥ 0.1%
●Total flavonoids: ≥ 2.5%
Modern studies confirm that lotus leaf flavonoids and alkaloids help regulate glucose and lipid metabolism, reduce total cholesterol and triglycerides, and provide anti-inflammatory and antibacterial support.

4. Processing Technology Overview

1.Selective harvesting: Zhejiang lotus leaves with high alkaloid content
2.Precision cutting: Uniform strips (0.5–1.2 cm)
3.Integrated washing: Bubble washing, spray circulation, ozone sterilization
4.Blanching & rapid cooling: Enzyme inactivation, color stabilization
5.Centrifugal dewatering: Reduced moisture before drying
6.Vacuum freeze-drying: Low-temperature sublimation to preserve actives
7.Ultra-fine grinding: Low-temperature ball milling, ≥800 mesh
8.Vibratory sieving: Particle uniformity and impurity removal
9.X-ray inspection & packaging: Foreign object detection and safety assurance
