Product Introduction
Matcha Powder for Chocolate and Confectionery – Bulk Supply for Confectionery Manufacturers
Our matcha powder for chocolate and confectionery is formulated for confectionery manufacturers that need stable color and reliable flavor in chocolate, ganache, fondant, and candy fillings. It is ground from shade-grown tea leaves and sieved to a fine, uniform particle size that blends smoothly into fat-based and sugar-based systems.
Confectionery applications place specific demands on matcha. The powder must disperse evenly into melted chocolate and cocoa butter, hold color against sugar and dairy fats, and deliver a flavor that stays visible in a sweet matrix. This grade is selected for those conditions. It also blends smoothly into ganache and cream centers without leaving a gritty texture.
As a source factory, we supply this grade in bulk at consistent pricing. Our monthly capacity for confectionery-grade matcha is 25 tons, and we support private-label and OEM production for brands that want to launch their own matcha chocolate or candy product.
