The Art of Shading: Where Quality Begins

The journey of premium Matcha starts weeks before harvest. Tea bushes are covered with shading nets to reduce sunlight by up to 90%. This process boosts chlorophyll levels, giving the leaves their iconic emerald green color, and increases L-theanine, which provides Matcha’s characteristic "umami" flavor.

Steaming and De-enzyming

Once harvested, the fresh leaves must be steamed immediately. Unlike other teas that may be pan-fired, Matcha leaves are treated with high-temperature steam to stop oxidation. This step locks in the brilliant green hue and the nutritional profile of the leaf.

Cooling and Drying (Tencha Creation)

After steaming, the leaves pass through multi-stage cooling machines and large ovens. The goal is to dry the leaves thoroughly without rolling them, which preserves their flat structure. At this stage, the stems and veins are removed, leaving behind the pure leaf "meat" known as Tencha.

The Final Transformation: Precision Grinding

The most critical step in matcha production is grinding the Tencha into an ultra-fine powder. Historically, stone mills were used, but modern production demands higher efficiency without sacrificing quality. The fineness of the powder determines the Matcha’s "mouthfeel"—the finer the powder, the foamier and smoother the tea becomes.


Featured Technology: Deli Assistant High-Capacity Matcha Ball Mill

Powder Ball Mill

To achieve world-class Matcha quality, the grinding equipment must balance speed with temperature control and particle fineness. Our company offers an industry-leading Industrial Tea Ball Mill designed specifically for high-end Matcha production.
