Positioned as a luxury upgrade from standard high-volume catering powders, our Japanese Premium Green Tea Matcha presents an exceptional middle ground between purely ceremonial tea and everyday commercial menu utility. This wholesale blend marries shade-grown Gyokuro leaves with robust Sencha, sourced directly from the celebrated Kagoshima Prefecture in Japan and Kenya’s Nandi Highlands. The resulting flavour profile is defined by a thick, 'jammy-like' smoothness and a crisp, distinctly light, astringent finish—offering a much more delicate and refined cup than heavily weighted barista grades.

This premium inventory asset is specifically formulated for hospitality operators aiming to command a higher retail margin through a superior beverage experience. The inclusion of shade-grown Gyokuro ensures exceptionally high chlorophyll levels, promising a brilliant, vibrant green liquor that instantly signals quality. Whether utilised for top-tier wellness shakes, speciality iced lattes, or premium food service applications, this versatile matcha guarantees outstanding provenance, impressive stock yield, and a sophisticated flavour profile that seamlessly sets your beverage menu apart.

Green Tea Matcha

Posted by Fran Brown on Jul 12, 2024

I'd been introduced to matcha by a friend so thought I'd try myself. Very pleased with the airtight tub the matcha powder came in - really easy to use and store. Will last me a while! Made just with milk as a latte so far - very smooth taste.

Tea Facts

Ingredients: 100% Premium Green Tea Matcha Powder.
Leaves: Fine matcha milled from luxury-grade green tea and high-chlorophyll Gyokuro leaves.
Latin/ Botanical Names: Camellia sinensis.
Grown: Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan & Nandi Highlands, Kenya.
Aroma: Light, fresh, and elegantly vegetal.
Infused Colour: Vibrant, opaque bright green.
Caffeine: Approximately 68mg per standard 250ml beverage.
Harmonisation Codes: <3Kg 0902100000 | >3Kg 0902200000

Serving Guide

Tea Menu: Specialty Beverage Menus / Premium Lattes, High-End Wellness Shakes & Artisan Baking Applications.
Per Serving: Measure approximately 2g to 3g of powder per standard 12oz (340ml) commercial takeaway cup.
Water: Hydrate the powder utilising a small splash of hot water (strictly cooled to approx. 80°C to prevent scalding the delicate Gyokuro leaves).
Making Time: Whisk vigorously using a traditional bamboo whisk or commercial electric frother for 2 to 4 minutes until a smooth, visually vibrant paste forms.
To Serve: Ideal for commanding higher retail margins on hot or iced speciality lattes. Because of its naturally smooth, jammy profile and lighter astringency, this grade requires far less heavy sweetening than standard high-volume powders, pairing beautifully with high-quality dairy or professional oat-milk alternatives.

Health Benefits

Cellular Cleansing & Detoxification: Due to the deliberate shading of Gyokuro leaves during growth, this matcha is remarkably rich in chlorophyll and potent catechins. Regular consumption is scientifically documented in metabolic studies to support hepatic function and facilitate natural cellular cleansing by reducing systemic oxidative stress.[1]
Sustained Cognitive Focus: The natural presence of L-theanine works synergistically with the powdered caffeine content to provide a stable, prolonged state of mental alertness. Clinical trials show this exact combination provides sustained cognitive performance without the rapid energy crash often associated with high-volume coffee consumption.[2]
Maximum Antioxidant Delivery: Because the end-user ingests the entire milled leaf rather than a standard water infusion, this premium matcha yields an exceptionally high volume of antioxidants—specifically Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This compound actively neutralises cellular free radicals, making it a powerful addition to health-focused commercial menus.[3]

Premium Matcha FAQs

Blending Japanese Gyokuro with Kenyan Sencha provides an exceptional balance for artisan hospitality operators. The shade-grown Gyokuro delivers a vibrant bright green colour and a thick, jammy smoothness, while the Kenyan Sencha adds just enough structure so the delicate flavour profile shines beautifully in lightly sweetened lattes and premium wellness drinks.

While standard loose leaf tea should generally never be refrigerated due to the risk of absorbing ambient moisture and odours, matcha powder is a strict exception. Because it is finely milled, its massive surface area makes it exceptionally vulnerable to oxidation, heat, and light, which will rapidly degrade its vibrant green colour and authentic flavour profile.

To combat this, whether you are buying 200g or 800g, our tubs are solid white, airtight, and tamper-sealed—which does a brilliant job of protecting the delicate powder. However, for maximum preservation, we highly recommend storing your unopened backup tubs in the fridge.

To keep your matcha in perfect condition, just follow these simple rules:

The Golden Rule of the Fridge
When you take a backup tub out of the fridge, you must let it completely reach room temperature before breaking the tamper seal. If you open it while it is still cold, condensation will instantly form inside and ruin the powder.

For Daily Barista Use (200g Tubs & Busy Cafés)
Never put your active, daily-use matcha in the fridge. Because baristas need to open the tub constantly during service, keeping it in and out of the fridge will introduce moisture. Keep your open supply stored in a cool, dark cupboard securely away from heat and espresso machines.

A Top Tip for 800g Tubs
An 800g tub holds a lot of servings. If it takes your café more than a few weeks to get through a tub of this size, we suggest decanting a week's worth of matcha into a smaller daily-use tin for the barista station. You can then tightly reseal the 800g tub and return it to the fridge to keep the rest of the batch incredibly fresh. (Just remember to let the big tub reach room temperature again before your next refill!)

Matcha is highly profitable, especially when positioned as a luxury menu upgrade. Utilising just 2g to 3g per commercial serving, a standard 800g tub yields roughly 266 to 400 beverages. Supplying a smoother, vibrant green product allows your business to command a higher premium retail price, generating an immense return on investment per unit.
