Buy Culinary grade matcha Wholesale

Culinary Grade Matcha originates from Japan and holds a significant place in their cultural tea ceremonies. This specific grade of matcha is made by grounding up young green tea leaves into a fine powder.

• The process starts by harvesting young, shade-grown green tea leaves. The leaves are then steam-pressed to stop oxidation.
• Next, the leaves are air-dried and destemmed. The remaining material, known as "tencha," is then ground into a fine powder using granite stone mills.
• Quality factors include the age of the leaves, the shading technique, and the grinding process.

There are several varieties of Culinary Grade Matcha, each with its unique characteristics and uses.

• Classic Culinary Matcha - Has a strong, robust flavor ideal for baking and cooking.
• Premium Culinary Matcha - Finer texture and more delicate flavor, perfect for lattes and smoothies.
• Organic Culinary Matcha - Made from organically grown tea leaves, suitable for both cooking and drinking.
