FAQ
Q1: Is Matcha made from Green Tea or Tencha?
A1: Matcha is specifically ground from Tencha. While Tencha is a type of green tea, its production process is unique: the tea bushes are shaded before harvest, and after picking, the leaves are steamed, ar-dried, and stripped of stems and veins. Only the pure leaf flesh (lamina) ground into a fine powder can be truly called Matcha.
Q2: Is Matcha sweet or bitter?
A2: High-quality Matcha (Ceremonial Grade) features a unique "Umami" profile with a natural sweetness and seaweed-like aroma, with almost no bitterness. Lower or Culinary grades possess a more pronounced bitterness and astringency, making them ideal for pairing with dairy or sweeteners.
Q3: Do heavy metal levels (Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium) comply with import standards?
A4: Food safety is our core commitment. Our products are regularly tested by SGS/Eurofins to ensure that heavy metal levels (Pb, As, Cd) are far below international regulatory limits and meet the strict import standards of your country.
Q4: What tea cultivars are used for your Matcha? What is the flavor profile?
A5: Our Matcha is primarily produced from premium cultivars such as Yabukita and Longjing. The flavor profile varies by specification. Taking our EU Standard Matcha as an example:
* Standard Grade (e.g., D-EM3A): Fine texture with a yellowish-green hue. Balanced when mixed with milk, light overall body with distinct floral notes.
* Intermediate Grade (e.g., D-EM5A+): Fine texture with a rich, concentrated Matcha flavor. Perfectly balances milk and baking aromas with a hint of toasted notes.
* Premium Grade (e.g., D-EM10): Fine texture with a vibrant green hue. Features a bold Matcha character with an exceptionally smooth, rich, and balanced mouthfeel.
Q5: Is this 100% First-Flush (Spring) tea, or a blend with second-harvest tea?
A6: We strictly categorize harvest seasons based on product positioning and application. You can choose the specification that best fits your quality needs:
* 100% First-Flush Spring Tea Only:
* EU Standard Matcha (A-10A): The entire line uses first-flush spring tea to ensure maximum amino acid content and freshness.
* Organic Matcha (A-10A): All specifications are 100% spring tea to meet high organic standards.
* Other Grades: Unless specified as a blend, our other models default to spring tea.
* Balanced Blend of Spring & Autumn Tea:
* Regular Matcha (4A / 5A): These use a scientific blend of spring and autumn harvests. This approach retains the freshness of spring tea while utilizing autumn tea to enhance aroma fullness. It is a highly cost-effective choice for mass catering and industrial baking.
