Matcha for Culinary, Beverage, and Export Supply Chains

Matcha is a finely ground, vibrant green powdered tea made from specially grown and shaded Camellia sinensis leaves. Unlike traditional teas, the whole leaf is consumed, offering a rich, full-bodied flavor with natural sweetness, umami notes, and a smooth, creamy texture. Naturally high in antioxidants and moderate in caffeine, matcha provides a gentle, sustained energy boost. It is traditionally whisked into hot water for ceremonial preparation but is also popular in lattes, smoothies, desserts, and culinary recipes, making it a versatile and healthful tea choice.
