Examples: We have usage records that ultrafine particle matcha has been preferably used for chocolates, candies, creams, and beverages.
What kinds of products is this Matcha Powder best for ?
【About your use】
This Matcha Powder is the best for the following products:
- Foods that require “high heat” at the time of processing or cooking.
- Foods that are wrapped in transparent packaging materials and displayed and exposed by light in a showcase or on product shelves.
- Foods with acidic pH values.
- Foods for which you want to design products without using coloring agents.
What should I do if the matcha becomes lumpy ?
【About your use】
Because of the physical characteristics of matcha powder, it becomes lumpy due to static electricity and vibration.
It is recommended to use the matcha by filtering it with a mesh (sieve) such as a tea strainer and so on.
Is it soluble in water or hot water? Will it dissolve ?
【About your use】
Matcha does not completely dissolve due to its physical characteristics.
When the container is stationary, it will settle.
Can I drink it normarlly ?
【About use】
Of course, there is no problem with drinking.
Unlike matcha, which is drunk at a tea ceremony, the raw materials are selected assuming that they will be used for food purposes.
The raw tea leaves for this Matcha are selected with the balance of umami, sweetness, astringency, and bitterness, cost, and long-term stable supply in mind.
Tell me how to store it ?
【About your use】
It can be stored at room temperature. (Refrigeration recommended.)
We believe that there is no problem with frozen storage.
However, since matcha absorbs condensation and forms lumps, and matcha may lose its flavor or damage its quality due to oxidation, we recommend you return the package to room temperature before opening it after frozen storage
In addition, it is desirable to prevent “moisture and scent transfer ” after opening.
Sufficiently remove the air from inside of the bag and securely close the bag chuck part for storage.
