When formulating such foods and beverages, it is important to realize that not all green tea is the same. In fact, often times the extract or infusion of green tea is not even used. Rather, the finely milled leaf of green tea known as Matcha Powder has been the traditional source for such products due to its natural robust flavor and vibrant green color.
Matcha from Taiyo is produced with a proprietary manufacturing process that mills the highest grade green tea leaves at extremely low temperatures to capture Matcha's natural green color and savory taste that consumers desire. Furthermore, this unique process prevents the loss of naturally occurring antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber and amino acids. Matcha is perfect for a wide range of applications, including ice creams, yogurts, dairy beverages, confections and foods.
