What is Matcha powder?

Matcha powder is made from steamed green tea grown under shade cultivation, stone-milled to create an ultrafine powder. It boasts a vibrant green color and retains nutrients such as tea polyphenols and amino acids. Its production process involves two key steps: shading (to increase chlorophyll) and steaming (to lock in the aroma). The finished product can achieve a particle size of 20-2 microns. Internationally, only ground tea products can be called "matcha," distinguishing them from ordinary green tea powder in terms of processing and quality standards.

Matcha originated in China and was initially used for medicinal purposes. The steamed loose tea method emerged in the Tang Dynasty, followed by the art of tea-making in the Song Dynasty. Its consumption gradually evolved during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Modern developments in cultivation techniques and ultrafine grinding equipment have made its production more accessible. It is currently used in Chinese and Western desserts, cold drinks, and industrial processing. Its stability and suspension properties make it suitable for a variety of applications, including baking and brewing.

Key Features

Matcha powder is rich in essential nutrients and trace elements. Its main components include tea polyphenols, free amino acids, chlorophyll, protein, aromatic substances, cellulose, vitamins C, A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, E, K, and H, as well as nearly 30 trace elements, including potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, sodium, zinc, selenium, and fluorine.

Studies have shown that tea polyphenols can scavenge excessive harmful free radicals in the body and regenerate highly effective antioxidants such as α-VE, VC, GSH, and SOD, thereby protecting and repairing the antioxidant system. They have significant effects on enhancing immunity, preventing cancer, and anti-aging. Regular consumption of green tea can lower blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure, thereby preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
