Production Process

 

1. Picking. Depending on the flavor requirements, the young leaves and buds of green tea are usually picked in spring and fall as raw materials.

2. Steaming. The picked tea leaves are put into a special steamer for steaming.

3. Kneading. The steamed tea leaves are twisted to release the tea juice and improve the aroma and taste of the tea.

4. Roasting. The twisted tea leaves are roasted to remove excess water and increase the aroma of the tea.

5. Grinding. The roasted tea leaves need to be carefully ground to a fine powder by a stone mill or mechanical grinding equipment.

 

Quality Judgement

 

1. Color: Good quality matcha powder should have a bright green color, which reflects its natural botanical composition. Matcha powder with a dull or yellowish-green color is likely to be of lower quality.

2. Fineness: The fineness of matcha powder is one of the key indicators of its quality. High-quality matcha powder should be very fine, non-granular, and dissolve quickly in the mouth. Matcha powder that is coarse or grainy may be of poor quality.

3. Aroma: High-quality matcha powder should have a distinct tea aroma with a hint of sweetness and freshness. Matcha powder with a weak aroma or odor may be of poor quality.

4. Taste: The taste of matcha powder should be bitter and sweet with a sweet aftertaste. High-quality matcha powder may have a slightly bitter flavor when first tasted in the mouth, followed by a sweet taste that gradually emerges. Matcha powder that is too bitter or lacks a sweet aftertaste is likely to be of poor quality.

5. Processing: Matcha powder made by the traditional stone grinding process retains the natural nutrients and aroma of the tea leaves. Matcha powder made by other non-traditional processes may affect its quality.
