Strawberry Matcha

1. Product Characteristics

Strawberry matcha is produced in core matcha-producing regions in China as Zhejiang. It is made from high-quality matcha powder and natural strawberry powder as the main ingredients, refined through scientific blending and superfine grinding. The product has a soft pink-and-green colour, with a rich strawberry fruit aroma and a fresh matcha seaweed aroma. The powder is fine, uniform, and lump-free. When mixed with water, it takes on a pink-green colour. Upon tasting, the sweet and sour strawberry flavour is released first, followed by the fresh tea notes of matcha spreading across the palate – two distinct flavours that blend naturally.

The core difference between strawberry matcha and pure matcha lies in the flavour composition: pure matcha features a single tea flavour, suitable for traditional drinking and baking; strawberry matcha uses a blended formula, where the fruit notes of strawberry balance the slight bitterness of matcha, resulting in a milder taste and broader appeal. The ingredient list is clean, with no artificial colours or flavours added – the flavour comes from natural ingredients.

3. Uses

With its fruit-and-tea blended flavour as the core characteristic, strawberry matcha is suited for trendy beverage preparation and creative baking, offering a clear differentiation from pure matcha.

Fruit tea beverage preparation: Strawberry matcha can be mixed directly with hot water or milk to make strawberry matcha lattes, strawberry matcha frappes, and strawberry matcha milk foam drinks. The fruit notes of strawberry and the tea flavour of matcha blend naturally in liquid, resulting in a soft pink-green colour with a stylish appearance.

Yogurt and dessert pairing: Can be used as a flavouring powder for yogurt, ice cream, and puddings – sprinkled on top or mixed in – adding a fruit-tea blend flavour and enhancing the texture and visual appeal of desserts.

Creative baking: Can be used in strawberry matcha cookies, strawberry matcha cakes, and strawberry matcha macarons, giving finished products a unique fruit-tea aroma and a pink-green colour.

Signature beverages: Suitable for specialty coffee shops and independent tea shops for creating signature drinks.

4. Usage Scenarios

Strawberry matcha is suitable for various commercial scenarios where flavour innovation and visual appeal are valued.

New-style tea shops: Used for strawberry matcha lattes, strawberry matcha frappes, and strawberry matcha milk foam drinks. The pink-and-green colour is highly distinctive and appeals to the aesthetic preferences of younger consumers.

Bakeries and dessert shops: Used for strawberry matcha cookies, strawberry matcha cakes, and strawberry matcha puddings. The blended flavour and pink-green colour make these products stand out in their category.

Coffee shops and light meal cafes: Used for specialty signature drinks such as strawberry matcha lattes, attracting consumers interested in new flavour combinations.

Retail and e-commerce: Individually packaged strawberry matcha powder is suitable for retail and online sales, meeting the needs of home consumers who want to make specialty drinks themselves.

5. Material (Origin & Raw Material)

Produced in core matcha-producing regions in China as Zhejiang. Zhejiang is home to the main drafters of China's national matcha standard, with a well-established matcha industry chain.

Strawberry matcha uses matcha powder made from shade-grown tea leaves and natural strawberry powder as the main ingredients. The matcha powder is produced through steam sterilization, low-temperature grinding, and other processes. The strawberry powder is made from natural strawberries processed through low-temperature drying and grinding. The product contains no artificial colours or flavours – the flavour comes from natural ingredients.

6. Production Process

Matcha powder production: Shade-grown fresh leaves undergo steam sterilization, cooling and spreading, roasting and drying, stem and vein removal, and low-temperature superfine grinding.

Strawberry powder production: Fresh strawberries are washed, low-temperature dried, ground, and sieved to preserve their natural colour and fruit aroma.

Blending and mixing: Matcha powder and strawberry powder are blended in a specific ratio and mixed thoroughly until uniform. The ratio must balance the sweetness of the strawberry fruit with the tea flavour of the matcha. The finished product is sieved, metal-detected, and packaged for shipment.

7. Quality Control

Raw material sourcing: Selection of high-quality matcha powder and natural strawberry powder.

Colour control: Pink-and-green colour, evenly distributed.

Flavour control: Balanced ratio of strawberry fruit aroma and matcha seaweed aroma.

Final inspection: Colour, aroma, fineness, impurities, and other indicators checked.

8. Packaging & Shipping

Packaging: Standard export packaging uses food-grade composite bags or cartons with food-grade moisture-proof liners to ensure protection against moisture, light, and oxidation during transit.

13. FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between matcha and regular green tea powder?

A: Matcha and green tea powder are fundamentally different. Matcha is made from shade-grown tea leaves that are steam-sterilised, dried into tencha, and then ground into a fine powder. It has a vibrant green colour, a distinctive seaweed aroma, and a fresh, mellow taste without bitterness. Regular green tea powder is made by directly grinding ordinary pan-fired or roasted green tea into powder – it tends to be more yellow in colour, with a flat aroma and noticeable bitterness. Matcha is a specific category of green tea powder – not all green tea powders can be called matcha.

Q2: Where does the "seaweed aroma" of matcha come from?

A: The seaweed aroma is a characteristic feature of matcha, derived from shade cultivation. Shade nets are used to cover the tea plants for 15–20 days before harvesting, with a shading rate of over 98%, promoting the accumulation of amino acids (especially L-theanine) while reducing polyphenols and bitter components. The steam sterilization process further locks in chlorophyll and aromatic compounds, ultimately creating the vibrant green colour and seaweed aroma unique to matcha.

Q3: What is the minimum order quantity?

A: Flexible order quantities are supported – specifics can be negotiated.

Q4: Do you offer custom packaging and OEM services?

A: Yes. Packaging specifications, brand labels, and other customisations are available – feel free to discuss your requirements.

Q5: What is the shelf life of matcha?

A: 12–24 months. Matcha must be stored in a cool, dry, light-protected place. Once opened, it is recommended to keep it sealed and refrigerated.

Q6: Can I get a sample?

A: Yes, samples are provided free of charge – you only need to cover the shipping cost.

Q7: How should matcha be properly prepared?

A: It is recommended to use hot water at approximately 70–80°C, with a ratio of 1.5–2g of matcha powder to 60–80ml of water. Whisk vigorously in an "M" shape using a bamboo whisk until a fine, dense foam forms on the surface, then drink directly. For matcha lattes, first mix the matcha powder with a small amount of hot water, then pour in milk heated to 60–70°C.
