Greenherb supplies a premium, authentic Matcha Green Tea Powder, derived from shade-grown Camellia sinensis leaves that are carefully stone-ground into an ultra-fine, vibrant green powder. Our matcha green tea is produced using traditional Japanese cultivation methods—tea plants are shaded for 20-30 days before harvest to dramatically increase chlorophyll, L-theanine, and catechin content. This pure matcha green tea powder is gently steamed and milled to preserve its brilliant emerald color, umami flavor, and exceptional concentration of antioxidants, including EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). This versatile, clean-label ingredient offers a natural solution for functional beverages, clean-label coloring, nutritional fortification, and culinary innovation across global food, beverage, and nutraceutical markets.
We support global B2B customers with consistent quality, scalable supply (including bulk matcha green tea powder options), and comprehensive analytical documentation, enabling the creation of products that meet the growing consumer demand for authentic, health-promoting green tea ingredients.
Premium Shade-Grown Cultivation for Superior Quality – Our matcha green tea powder is produced using traditional shading techniques that increase chlorophyll (for vibrant green color), boost L-theanine (for umami and calm focus), and enhance catechin concentration. This process results in a smooth, non-bitter flavor profile that distinguishes the best matcha green tea powder from lower-grade products.
Rich in Potent EGCG & Antioxidants – Matcha green tea is exceptionally rich in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a catechin with extensive scientific support for antioxidant, metabolic, and cardiovascular benefits. Because matcha is consumed as a whole-leaf powder rather than an infusion, it delivers significantly higher concentrations of catechins than steeped green tea—making it an ideal matcha green tea supplement ingredient.
Unique L-Theanine for Calm, Focused Energy – Naturally abundant in shade-grown matcha, the amino acid L-theanine promotes alpha brain wave activity, inducing a state of relaxed alertness. When combined with matcha's natural caffeine, it provides smooth, sustained energy without the jitters or crash associated with coffee. This makes pure matcha green tea powder a favorite for functional beverage formulations.
Certified Clean & Pure – Our matcha green tea powder adheres to strict clean standards: Non-GMO, gluten-free, no artificial ingredients, and 100% vegan. Available with USDA Organic certification, HALAL, and Kosher to meet diverse global market requirements. We offer competitive matcha green tea price options for bulk orders without compromising quality.
Exceptional Color, Flavor & Solubility – The combination of shade cultivation and gentle stone grinding produces a powder with brilliant green color, fine texture (ultra-fine particle size for smooth dispersion), and the characteristic umami sweetness balanced with pleasant vegetal notes—free from bitterness. Our matcha green tea powder disperses readily in both hot and cold liquids without clumping.
Versatile Application Compatibility – From traditional tea ceremony to modern functional foods, matcha green tea powder integrates seamlessly into lattes, smoothies, protein shakes, baked goods, confectionery, and ice cream. Its heat stability and vibrant color make it ideal for applications requiring natural green coloring without synthetic dyes.
Sustainably Sourced from Traditional Growing Regions – Our matcha is sourced from certified tea gardens in Japan (Uji, Kagoshima, and Shizuoka regions), where matcha has been cultivated for centuries using time-honored methods combined with modern quality control.

Greenherb's Matcha Green Tea Powder captures the essence of a tea tradition that spans over 800 years, transforming shade-grown Camellia sinensis leaves into a vibrant, nutrient-dense powder that delivers the full benefits of the whole leaf. Unlike steeped green tea, where many beneficial compounds remain in the leaves and are discarded, matcha is consumed entirely, providing a concentrated source of antioxidants, amino acids, and phytonutrients . From its origins in Zen Buddhist monasteries to its current global popularity, matcha represents a perfect convergence of cultural heritage and modern nutritional science. The shading process that begins weeks before harvest forces the tea plant to produce higher levels of chlorophyll (for that signature brilliant green) and L-theanine (for umami and calm focus), while the gentle stone grinding preserves these delicate compounds . Our pure matcha green tea powder is available in ceremonial, premium, and culinary grades to suit different applications and price points. Whether you seek the best matcha green tea powder for functional beverages, a matcha green tea supplement for metabolic health capsules, or bulk matcha green tea powder for food manufacturing, we provide the authenticity and quality that consumers trust.
Botanical Source: Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze (shade-grown, Japanese cultivars)
Used Part: Whole leaf (stone-ground, ultra-fine powder)
Key Active Components: EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and other catechins, L-Theanine, Caffeine, Chlorophyll, Flavonoids (quercetin, rutin, kaempferol) .
Standardization: Available in ceremonial grade, premium grade, and culinary grade; can be standardized to EGCG content (e.g., 8%, 10%) or L-theanine levels
Appearance: Ultra-fine, vibrant bright green to deep emerald green powder with characteristic sweet, vegetal aroma

Solubility: Disperses readily in water; forms a stable suspension, not a solution
Certifications: USDA Organic, EU Organic, Halal, Kosher, Non-GMO (as required)
Our matcha production follows time-honored Japanese methods enhanced by modern quality control:
Shade Cultivation: Tea plants are covered with shading nets (90% shade) for 20-30 days before harvest. This process increases chlorophyll, L-theanine, and reduces bitter catechins .
Hand-Picking & Steaming: Only the youngest, tender leaves are hand-picked. Fresh leaves are steamed for 15-20 seconds to inactivate oxidizing enzymes, preserving the vibrant green color and fresh flavor .
Cooling & Drying (Tencha Production): Steamed leaves are rapidly cooled, dried, and de-veined, becoming "tencha"—the de-stemmed, de-veined leaf material ready for grinding.
Sorting & Aging: Tencha is carefully sorted and may be aged briefly to enhance flavor complexity.
Stone Grinding: The tencha is slowly ground between granite stones in a controlled, temperature-regulated environment. This traditional method prevents heat generation that could degrade sensitive compounds and produces an ultra-fine, consistent powder .
Particle Size Verification: The powder is tested for particle size distribution (typically 5-20 microns) to ensure smooth mouthfeel and proper dispersion.
Quality Assurance: Each batch is tested for color value (using a colorimeter), particle size, catechin content (via HPLC), L-theanine levels, microbial safety, and heavy metals.
Matcha Green Tea Powder is valued for its comprehensive, scientifically-documented health benefits:
Provides Potent Antioxidant Protection*: Matcha is exceptionally rich in EGCG, a catechin with powerful free radical scavenging activity. Studies have shown that matcha contains up to 137 times more EGCG than standard green tea, protecting cells from oxidative stress associated with aging and chronic disease .
Supports Metabolic Health & Weight Management*: The combination of EGCG and caffeine has been shown to boost thermogenesis and fat oxidation, supporting healthy metabolic rate and weight management as part of a balanced lifestyle .
Enhances Cognitive Function & Calm Focus*: L-theanine promotes alpha brain wave activity, improving attention, memory, and executive function while inducing a state of calm alertness without jitters. This makes matcha green tea supplement a popular ingredient for cognitive wellness products .
Supports Cardiovascular Health*: The catechins in matcha help maintain healthy LDL cholesterol levels, support healthy blood pressure within normal ranges, and improve endothelial function .
Promotes Liver Health & Detoxification*: Rich in chlorophyll, matcha supports the body's natural detoxification pathways, with research indicating it may help reduce certain toxin biomarkers and support healthy liver function .
Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Regulation*: Studies suggest that matcha consumption may improve insulin sensitivity and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels within normal ranges .
Provides Natural, Sustained Energy*: The combination of caffeine with L-theanine provides a smooth, prolonged energy boost without the crash commonly associated with coffee .
