Chinese Matcha
Matcha, with its bright emerald green color and unique flavor, has won wide acclaim around the world. This delicate tea powder is not only a healthy drink, but also a cultural symbol with a long history. Although Japanese matcha is internationally renowned, its roots are deeply rooted in China. As early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, China had already seen the prototype of matcha, and it reached its heyday in the Song Dynasty. At that time, the fine process of making powdered tea was not only the enjoyment of the court nobles, but also gradually integrated into the lives of ordinary people.
The fine process of matcha powder
Our matcha powder is made in a rigorous and meticulous process to retain the natural flavor and nutritional value of tea. To make high-quality matcha, we first select high-quality tea tree varieties, especially those with high amino acid and protein content.
In order to give matcha its unique emerald green color and mellow flavor, shading before picking is essential. A specific number of days before picking (usually 20-30 days), we will build a shade net for the tea trees to avoid direct sunlight. This process significantly increases the chlorophyll and L-theanine content in the tea leaves, giving the matcha a bright green color and effectively reducing the bitterness of the tea leaves.
Fresh tea leaves are immediately steamed (steamed) after being picked. Unlike the stir-frying process used in some green teas, steaming can maximize the retention of the green color and nutrients of the tea leaves. The tea leaves are dried to control the moisture content to around 5%-10%. The stems and veins of the dried tea leaves are then removed (de-stemmed). This step is essential to obtain pure, fine-tasting matcha powder.
Finally, the carefully selected and processed tea leaves are ground in a traditional stone mill. Stone mills are considered the best way to grind high-quality matcha because they run at a low speed and do not generate high temperatures. We strictly control the fineness of the grind, usually reaching 2000-5000 mesh (about 18 microns), ensuring that each grain of matcha powder is as fine as silk and has a smooth taste.
Multiple uses of matcha powder
Our different grades of matcha powder have a wide range of application scenarios to meet various needs.
Ceremonial grade matcha powder: The first choice for traditional Japanese matcha tea ceremony, whether it is thick or thin, it can show its pure flavor. In the traditional matcha preparation process, specific tools and techniques are required, such as tea whisks (bamboo whisks) and tea bowls to fully experience the delicate taste and rich foam of matcha. At the same time, its excellent quality also makes it ideal for making high-end matcha lattes and smoothies, bringing a silky and rich taste.
Organic matcha powder: With its pure and organic characteristics, it is perfect for health-conscious consumers and can be used to make a variety of healthy drinks such as lattes, teas and smoothies. In addition, organic matcha powder is also widely used in baking and cooking, adding unique flavors and bright colors to desserts, pastries and other delicacies.
Standard grade matcha powder: As a more affordable option, standard-grade matcha powder is suitable for a wider range of food and beverage applications. It can be easily incorporated into a variety of desserts, snacks and candies, and is also an ideal raw material for many food manufacturers. Lower-grade matcha powder is often used in foods and beverages that do not require high intensity of pure matcha flavor.
