Organic Matcha Powder

Product Description

What Is Organic Matcha Powder？

Organic matcha powder is a finely ground powder made from specially grown and processed green tea leaves that have been certified as organic. This means the tea plants are cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, and the processing methods adhere to strict organic standards.

Matcha is a type of green tea, made from the powdered leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Originally served at tea ceremonies in Japan, so-called matcha tea is now widely available and used in the food industry and in cooking.Matcha is packed with phytonutrients that bring a host of health benefits such as combating free radicals, weight loss promotion and immune system support.

Although from the same plant as green tea, matcha is grown differently and as a result has a unique nutrient profile. The plants are covered with bamboo mats during most of the growing period, which increases the amount of chlorophyll in the leaves for its characteristic bright green colour.Matcha is made from the youngest tea leaves in which the vital energy is stored. A few weeks before the harvest, the tea bushes are covered to prevent direct sunlight – which helps them to protect valuable properties.

Matcha powder is rich in antioxidants (especially EGCG) as well as other beneficial compounds such as L-theanine, which have been linked to a variety of health benefits. These ingredients help improve brain health, heart health, and may help prevent cancer, while also aiding in weight management and stress reduction.

The Different Grades Of Matcha Powder

There are three main grades of matcha – ceremonial, daily, and culinary. Matcha green tea powder is placed into one of these three categories based on where the green tea plants are grown, how they are cultivated, the tea leaves’s harvest period (or season), and the manufacturing process.

These factors, in turn, impact color, texture, nutritional composition, taste, ultimate use, and the overall quality of green tea powder produced.

The three primary grades of matcha can also be further separated into more specific categories such as organic ceremonial matcha, premium daily sipping matcha, cafe barista matcha, chef’s choice matcha, and food ingredient grade matcha.

Matcha grades, like A and AA, indicate the quality and intended use of the tea powder. Grade AA matcha is a high-quality, mid-range option, typically a blend of first and second harvest leaves, suitable for both drinking on its own and using in lattes, smoothies, or baking. It offers a robust flavor that stands up well to other ingredients in recipes.

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

• Ceremonial Grade Matcha(AAA+ or higher grades):

Hand-picked and made from the youngest first-harvest green tea leaves, ceremonial grade matcha is considered the highest quality matcha available. It is the grade of matcha chosen for traditional Japanese tea ceremonies.

Delicately stone-ground into a fine powder, ceremonial matcha has a vibrant green color, fresh, sweet, earthy smell, silky smooth texture, and a complex vegetal sweet and umami flavor that leaves a creamy, delicate aftertaste on the tongue.

It also has a noticeably deeper shade of green compared to the other two grades of matcha due to its exceptionally high chlorophyll content.

• Daily Grade Matcha（Grade AAA）:

Also known as premium and traditional grade matcha, daily matcha is not too sweet or bitter — falling right between ceremonial and culinary matcha as the second highest quality grade of green tea powder.

Often from a combination of the first and second harvest or just the second harvest of young green tea leaves, daily matcha has a slightly bolder taste than ceremonial grades of matcha. This makes the daily matcha grade a favorite choice for matcha lattes, cocktails, and other beverage recipes.

• Culinary Grade Matcha(Grade A and AA):

Also often known as cooking grade matcha, kitchen, or chef’s choice matcha, culinary grade matcha is intended to be used as an ingredient in cooking, beverages, baking, and supplements. It often has a savory edge and robust flavor profile.

Culinary matcha often comes from older green tea leaves than those chosen for ceremonial or daily matcha – often from the second, third or even fourth harvest.The higher amount of catechins in culinary matcha impacts its flavor profile, giving it a more astringent, bold flavor with a bitter aftertaste and less sugary-sweet essence that shines through beautifully in baking and cooking.

Why Choose Our Organic Matcha Powder?

1. Consistent chlorophyll and pigment index:

We guarantee a pigment index of L ≤ 40 and a ≥ -5, ensuring a deep emerald green color in every batch – perfect for color-critical applications such as beverages, ice cream or skin care formulations. Many suppliers produce dark, yellow-green products due to improper shading or improper harvesting.

2. Standardized EGCG and caffeine ratio:

Our matcha powder maintains an EGCG content of 60-80 mg/g, which is much higher than regular culinary grade matcha powder (about 30 mg/g). In addition, we control the ratio of L-theanine to caffeine to about 2:1, creating a smoother energy curve.

3. Ultra-fine particle size for seamless dissolution:

Our powder is ground to 1000 mesh (≤15μm) to ensure a smooth, particle-free experience in water-based solutions or emulsions – which is critical for functional beverages and ready-to-drink applications.

4. Low Microbial Load, No Irradiation Required:

Thanks to our low temperature steam sterilization process, our total colony count is less than 1000 CFU/g, while avoiding gamma irradiation. Many organic buyers now refuse to use gamma irradiation due to controversy over its effect on nutrient retention.
