Buy Ceremonial grade matcha Wholesale

Ceremonial Grade Matcha, originating from Japan, holds a significant place in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. It's renowned for its exceptional quality, vibrant green color, and delicate taste. This premium tea is made from the tenderest, shade-grown tea leaves that are meticulously processed.

• The process starts with shade-growing the tea plants for about 3 weeks before harvest. This enhances the flavor and color of the leaves.
• Next, the finest, youngest leaves are hand-picked.
• These leaves are then steamed to prevent oxidation, preserving their vibrant green color.
• After cooling down, the leaves are air-dried and de-veined.
• Finally, the leaves are ground to a fine powder using granite stone mills. This results in the final Ceremonial Grade Matcha.

Factors affecting the quality include the age of the tea plant, growing conditions, and the timing of the harvest.
