The green Matcha powder coming from the tea plant camellia sinensis, the Chinese tea plant, is today one of the most popular tea types of the world. The long-forgotten and rediscovered plant was brought to Japan 800 years ago by Japanese monks from China to Japan. Japan brought the Matcha tea plant to a renewed glory whereas this tradition was forgotten in China at the same time. The monks in Japan used the tea traditionally to stay focused and calm while meditating. Due to its outstanding ingredients, Matcha has also been used as a remedy and is now regarded as a superfood all over the world. Only if the green tea leaves have been grinded into very small particles, the tea can be called Matcha. Matcha is therefore consumed as powder and while drinking the tea all healthy ingredients are absorbed by the body. In the course of the 16th century, the traditional preparation of the Matcha Tea developed into a ritual procedure, which was regarded as a sign of special education and a cultured lifestyle in Japan. Even today the tea ceremony is considered a kind of ritualized time-out, and although it is consumed mainly in Japan, it became more and more popular in Europe and all over the world.
Taiyo Matcha Products:
Taiyo is proud to present Sunphenon® 8RTH – a soluble Matcha extract, which creates a perfectly brewed instant Matcha.
While conventional Matcha powder is not water-soluble and produces sediment, Sunphenon® 8RTH is completely water-soluble without sedimentation. Therefore, it combines the advantages of conventional Matcha and the technical benefits of an instant tea. It is perfect for the use in beverages.
Taiyo would like to inform customers about an important change regarding its Matcha products. We are happy to announce that we have renamed two popular products to better align our brand and offerings.
