Matcha in Beverages: Sparking Product Innovation

🍵 From Japanese Tradition to the “Green Ingredient” of the Future

Matcha, the finely ground green tea from Japan, has transcended traditional tea ceremonies to become a global icon of wellness, minimalism, and balance. Today, matcha offers not just refreshing flavor and vibrant color, but also endless creative inspiration for brands looking to craft distinctive, wellness-focused beverages.

Potent antioxidant protection

  • Rich in EGCG, matcha helps neutralize free radicals, promotes skin health, and supports immunity—perfect for “beauty-from-within” and anti-aging trends.

Umami elegance with natural color

  • Its robust, subtly sweet flavor and reservoir-green hue enhance sensory appeal and empower unique brand experiences.
