MATCHA POWDER 

PRODUCT DATA

Matcha Powder is made of high-grade Japanese green tea leaves cultivated with special care.  It has a fresh taste and natural vivid green color.  Matcha Powder can be used as a new refreshing flavor for beverages, dairy products and confections.

The leaf of Matcha is rich in polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, fibers, chlorophyll and L-theanine.  All of the health benefits of green tea can be found in Matcha.  Matcha is enjoyed not only for its taste but also as a beverage to maintain health.

Traditional Matcha is ground slowly by a stone mill in order to avoid friction and heat which can cause the deterioration of its color and flavor.

Our Matcha Powder is prepared from high quality fresh Matcha leaves by a unique processing technology in order to obtain a very fine powder while maintaining the original color and taste of the Matcha leaf.

Typical Matcha beverage formulations:

Matcha (traditional style)

Dissolve approximately 1 gram Matcha Powder in 50 – 80 mL hot water (80°C).  Stir well before drinking.

Matcha (sweetened – low calorie)

Dissolve approximately 1 gram Matcha Powder and a non-calorie sweetener such as Aspartame (approximately 1.5% w/w) in 50 – 80 mL water (either hot or cold).  Stir well before drinking.

Matcha Milk

Dissolve approximately 1 – 2 grams Matcha Powder in 50 – 100 mL hot water.  Add 100 – 200 mL hot or cold milk.  Sweeten to taste.

Note: As Matcha Powder is a natural tea leaf powder, and not an extract, it is generally not soluble.  Instant beverages should be vigorously mixed.  Ready to drink beverages should use an appropriate stabilizer to suspend powder into liquid products.
