Description

1. Tea Origin & Cultivar

Our Premium Grade Matcha is sourced from a core tea-growing zone located in mountainous regions at 500–800 meters above sea level. The significant temperature difference between day and night slows tea plant growth, allowing higher accumulation of amino acids, tea polyphenols, and chlorophyll.
The tea variety used is Hangzhou Jingshan tea, a well-established cultivar valued for its clean aroma and full-bodied taste. With an amino acid content reaching 1.0%, it delivers a noticeable umami sensation and smooth, refreshing aftertaste, making it especially suitable for beverage and food applications.
Green planting practices are strictly implemented, including organic fertilizer substitution, biological pest control, and intelligent tea garden management systems. Soil moisture, temperature, and humidity are monitored in real time to ensure stable quality and sustainable production.

2. Processing Technology

Unlike conventional green tea powder, our matcha is produced using specialized non-rolling processing techniques, designed specifically for matcha quality requirements.
Primary Processing Steps:
1.Shading before harvest to enhance leaf tenderness and chlorophyll
2.Controlled withering to promote internal flavor development
3.Steam fixation using advanced multi-stage steamers to preserve nutrients
4.Rapid air cooling to prevent overheating
5.Initial drying for moisture reduction
6.Stem and impurity removal for raw material purity
7.Aroma-enhancing secondary drying
8.Optical color sorting
9.Preliminary grinding into Tencha
Refining Process:
1.Sterilization for food safety
2.Batch blending to ensure flavor consistency
3.Low-temperature ultra-fine grinding using continuous ball milling
4.Final particle size above 800 mesh, uniform and fluffy
5.Sieving, metal detection, X-ray inspection
6.Automatic weighing, packaging, labeling, and storage

3. Product Characteristics

●Color: Bright, vivid green
●Aroma: Shaded aroma with clear seaweed notes
