Huangshan Green Tea Powder | Huang Shan Lu Cha Fen - Option: 100 g

This powdered green tea comes from the Huangshan (黄山) region in Anhui province, an area long associated with the production of refined and elegant Chinese green teas. Unlike traditional Japanese matcha, this tea is not tied to a specific ritual or production style. It is, however, processed using steaming, which helps preserve the fresh green character of the leaf. The tea is then finely ground into powder, allowing the entire leaf to be consumed during preparation.

Its flavor profile naturally differs from Japanese matcha. It is less dominated by umami or creamy notes, instead expressing a distinctly Chinese character – lightness, clarity, and gentle grassy tones, complemented by subtle sweetness and a soft nutty nuance. The resulting cup is fresh, easy to drink, and less heavy, making it suitable for regular everyday enjoyment.

The powdered form allows for quick and simple preparation. The tea can be whisked in a bowl similar to matcha, mixed directly in a glass, or used as an ingredient in beverages and dishes. Thanks to its balanced character, it works well not only for direct consumption, but also in modern gastronomy – for example in smoothies, desserts, or milk-based drinks such as lattes. Due to its good solubility, easy dosing, and consistent flavor, it is also suitable for broader applications, including industrial use in the production of beverages, dairy products, and other foods.

Brewing:
Use approximately 1–2 g of tea per 150–200 ml of water at 70–80 °C and whisk or shake until smooth. Can also be prepared with cold water.

Note:
This is not matcha. The tea retains the character of Chinese green tea, presented in a finely powdered form.
