Description

Matcha powder is a vibrant, finely milled green tea produced from carefully cultivated and expertly processed tea leaves. Unlike regular green tea, matcha is made using whole leaves that are shade-grown, meticulously harvested, steamed, dried, and stone-ground to preserve their full nutritional profile and vivid natural color. This careful process yields a product exceptionally rich in antioxidants—particularly catechins—as well as chlorophyll and the amino acid L-theanine.

Alfa Chemistry's matcha powder is crafted from 100% pure tea leaves, with stems and veins meticulously removed to minimize bitterness and maximize nutritional value. Sealed in protective foil packaging to guard against light and oxidation, our matcha stays fresh and stable—ideal for a wide range of applications.

Grades of Matcha Available

To support diverse product development goals, Alfa Chemistry offers matcha powder in three quality grades: premium, medium, and standard—each suited to specific application and pricing needs.

Premium Grade

This top-tier matcha is made from young, tender leaves hand-harvested in early spring from tea plants grown under 20–30 days of shading. The leaves are gently steamed, dried at low temperatures, and stone-ground into a superfine powder (3–5 microns). It features a vivid emerald green color, velvety texture, and rich umami flavor—perfect for ceremonial teas, premium beverages, and gourmet foods.

Medium Grade

Derived from a mix of tea leaves grown under moderate shading (10–20 days), this grade may include slightly older leaves. It is processed through both steaming and pan-firing techniques, then ground mechanically to a particle size of 5–10 microns. With a slightly muted color and mild astringency, it is ideal for matcha lattes, smoothies, desserts, and everyday formulations.

Standard Grade

Sourced from conventional tea varieties with minimal or no shading, this grade uses more mature leaves. It undergoes high-temperature drying and coarse grinding (10–20 microns), resulting in a pale green to yellowish powder with a more pronounced astringency. Best suited for baking, bulk production, or cost-sensitive formulations.
