Lotus leaf matcha powder ultra-fine powder ingredient
Lotus Leaf Matcha Powder - Originating from Shoshū White Lotus, Ultra-fine Powder of Lotus Leaf Matcha, Plant-based Functional Material
Superfine powder of lotus leaves made using matcha processing methods. A plant-derived powder ingredient that emphasizes color, flavor, and processing suitability.
This product, "Lotus Leaf Matcha Powder," is made from mature lotus leaves of the Zhoushan White Lotus (a geographical indication product of China) originating from Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, using a manufacturing process similar to that of matcha. Lotus leaves have a long history of use as a traditional medicinal and edible plant in China, and in recent years, their application as a plant-derived material in the food and beverage sector has been advancing. This raw material is selected from lotus leaves harvested only during the mature period from June to September, with careful consideration of chlorophyll and functional component content. In the manufacturing process, the raw materials are washed and then subjected to a blanching treatment to suppress enzyme activity, followed by a combination of low-temperature drying and vacuum freeze-drying. Additionally, ultra-fine grinding under low-temperature conditions is performed to maintain the original color and flavor of the lotus leaves while achieving a uniform and stable powder texture. The final product is an ultra-fine powder with a mesh size of over 800, resembling matcha in appearance and mouthfeel, making it suitable for various applications such as beverages, powdered foods, and health supplements. It is also characterized by its ability to utilize a natural appearance as a plant-derived material without the use of colorants or fragrances.
