Source and service

Rooted in Jingshan, Organised for International Supply

Our production base and tea origin are in Jingshan, Hangzhou. Our estate and partner garden network gives the operation a broad raw-material foundation for premium, culinary and organic product paths.

International business, customer service and export logistics are centred in Shenzhen. This connects the work at origin with the decisions an overseas team needs to make: application, grade, samples, documents, packaging and shipment planning.

Start with what you are making. Colour and flavour in milk, heat performance in bakery, mouthfeel for straight drinking and the requirements of a branded retail pack each point to a different grade conversation.

The complete journey

Twelve Stages, One Connected Matcha Process

Matcha quality is built before, during and after milling. Each stage supports a visible or practical part of the finished powder.

The route is selected for the grade and application; optional treatments and finishing steps are confirmed with the product specification.

Phase 1 · Build the leaf

Shading and material selection set the starting point for colour and flavour. Fixation, cooling and the condition of incoming leaf influence the material that reaches tencha preparation. The early route is aligned with the intended grade rather than treating every green tea as interchangeable.

1

Shading

Reduced light changes leaf development and supports the green colour, umami and flavour profile sought for matcha.

2

Harvest & intake

Selected leaves enter processing while source identity, condition and timing can still be managed.

3

Fixation

Steam or hot air controls enzymatic change soon after harvest, helping preserve the leaf’s fresh green character.

4

Cooling

Prompt cooling removes processing heat so the leaf does not continue cooking and lose freshness.

Phase 2 · Create the powder

Leaf preparation and milling work together. Prepared tencha provides the starting material; the milling route shapes the powder, and screening supports its handling. Compare the result in the intended drink or recipe, where colour, mouthfeel and dispersion can be assessed together.

5

Drying

Moisture is reduced to prepare the leaf for stable handling without the rolling used for many leaf teas.

6

Tencha preparation

Stems and veins are removed to refine the dried leaf material before it reaches the mills.

7

Milling

Prepared tencha becomes fine matcha through the route chosen for the grade and production need.

8

Screening

Ultrasonic screening manages agglomerates and supports smoother powder handling and dispersion.

Phase 3 · Prepare the product

A prepared production lot must connect with the agreed product requirements. Finishing options, relevant checks and the pack format are considered together so the approved sample, specification and order describe the same product.

9

Homogenising

Powder is brought together into a more uniform production lot for commercial use.

10

Flash-heat option

Flash high-temperature treatment can be selected when it belongs in the product’s quality plan.

11

Quality review

Physical-chemical and microbiological checks connect the product with its relevant specification.

12

Packing

The finished matcha moves into the approved bulk or retail format for storage and shipment.

Protect Colour and Flavour Before Milling Begins

Shading, fixation, cooling and drying shape the material that reaches the mill. Timely heat treatment helps control browning. Cooling limits unnecessary heat exposure. Drying prepares the leaf for stable tencha handling, and removing stems and veins focuses the milling material on the leaf portion used for matcha.

These stages help explain why powders can behave differently even before the milling route changes. Early processing influences visible colour, aroma, umami, bitterness and the way matcha presents in water, milk or food.

We connect grade selection with the intended use: milk performance for cafés, colour and flavour after heat for bakery, or aroma and mouthfeel for straight drinking.

Milling systems

Capacity and Flexibility Across Matcha Grades

Three milling resources let us align the production route with the grade, application and scale of the project.

Stone-milling equipment in a clean production room

20 stone mills

A familiar route for carefully prepared matcha where sensory character and premium positioning matter.

Two enclosed high-speed milling machines

56 ball mills

Production resources for efficient fine-powder output across broader commercial demand.

Continuous milling machines with enclosed stainless collection vessels

8 continuous ball mills

Continuous production resources that support scaled planning for suitable grades and orders.

Powder finishing

Screen, Prepare and Review the Production Lot

Ultrasonic screening

Fine powder passes through an enclosed screening stage designed to manage unsuitable agglomerates and support smoother handling.

300 kg homogeniser

Powder is combined into a prepared production lot so application and specification review can focus on one commercial unit.

For your project, define the attributes that matter—colour, sensory profile, dispersion, finished appearance or an agreed specification field—and evaluate the selected grade in the actual application.

Quality resources

Clean Production With In-House Laboratory Support

Our operation includes two Class-100,000 clean production workshops and in-house microbiology and physical-chemical laboratories. These resources connect the production environment with evaluation of the relevant product and lot characteristics.

When a project calls for external or market-specific testing, the method, laboratory route and required document can be aligned with the selected grade, destination and use. This allows sample performance, specification requirements and quality information to be considered together before the product moves into a trial or order.

Connect the specification to your product

Colour and sensory profile: agree the sample reference and comparison conditions.

Powder performance: compare mouthfeel, dispersion and the attributes that affect your recipe.

Relevant quality checks: identify the physical-chemical, microbiological and market-specific fields your team requires.

Lot and pack information: connect the applicable documents with the grade, packaging and order being approved.
