Buy Matcha europe Wholesale

Matcha originates from Japan and is revered for its cultural significance and health benefits. The manufacturing process is meticulous and involves several key steps to ensure premium quality.

• Cultivation: The tea plants are shielded from sunlight for about 20-30 days before harvest to boost chlorophyll levels and produce a vibrant green hue.
• Harvesting: Only the finest tea leaves are handpicked, typically once a year in spring.
• Steaming: The leaves are briefly steamed to prevent oxidation, preserving the vivid color and nutrient content.
• Drying and Aging: Leaves are air-dried and aged in cold storage to deepen flavors.
• Grinding: The leaves are ground into a fine powder using traditional stone mills.

Factors affecting quality include the age of the tea leaves, growing conditions, processing techniques, and storage methods.
