Matcha: From Leaf to Powder, A Story of Craft & Control

Matcha is more than finely milled green tea. It is the result of patience, timing, and careful handling—where each step shapes its color, texture, and distinctive taste. From the rhythm of the growing season to the moment the leaf becomes powder, matcha reflects a balance of nature and human craft.

Its appeal lies not only in its vibrant green color, but in its layered flavor—fresh and vegetal, gently savory, and naturally smooth—a profile that has carried matcha from traditional tea culture into modern beverages, foods, and wellness formulations.



Crafted Through Process

The character of matcha is shaped after harvest as much as before it. Fresh tea leaves are gently heat-treated to preserve their natural green color and aroma, then dried and refined into tencha. Before milling, the leaves are rested under controlled conditions, allowing flavor and moisture to stabilize naturally. The final step—fine milling—transforms the leaf into a smooth, vibrant powder with consistent performance.

This careful sequence defines matcha’s taste, mouthfeel, and versatility. Matcha remains non-fermented and non-oxidized, preserving its distinctive green tea character.
