Product Introduction
Matcha Powder for Cakes and Pastries – Bulk Supply for Pastry Manufacturers
Our matcha powder for cakes and pastries is selected for bakeries and pastry manufacturers that need reliable color and flavor in laminated doughs, sponge cakes, buttercreams, and glazes. It is ground from shade-grown tea leaves and sieved to a uniform particle size that blends evenly into flour, sugar, and dairy bases.
Cakes and pastries place specific demands on matcha. The powder must survive short baking cycles, hold color against butter and cream, and deliver a flavor that stays visible through sugar. This grade is selected for those conditions. It also disperses smoothly into icings and fillings without leaving a gritty texture.
As a source factory, we supply this grade in bulk at consistent pricing. Our monthly capacity for pastry-grade matcha is 25 tons, and we support private-label and OEM production for brands that want to launch their own pastry mix or retail baking product.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does matcha perform in cakes and pastries?
Matcha holds color best in short baking cycles under 180°C. For laminated doughs and longer bakes, we recommend increasing the dosage or using a heat-stable grade. Our technical team can advise on your specific recipe.
What dosage should I use for sponge cakes?
A typical starting point is 2–5% of total flour weight, depending on desired color and flavor intensity. We provide dosage guidance with every sample.
What is the MOQ for bulk pastry matcha?
The MOQ is 20 kg for bulk powder and 500 units per SKU for private-label packaging.
Do you provide samples for pastry development?
Yes. We offer free samples up to 200 g for pastry manufacturers and brands. Courier cost is covered by the buyer.
How does pastry grade matcha differ from culinary grade?
Pastry grade is selected for better color retention in baked and chilled pastry applications. Culinary grade is a broader category used for beverages, ice cream, and general food processing.
Which certifications apply to your pastry matcha?
