the production process is different. The brief production process of matcha is: high-quality fresh green tea → steaming → grinding → ancient tea powder → ultrafine grinding → low-temperature drying → modern matcha. Matcha production adopts traditional grinding technology and modern superfine grinding technology, and the whole processing process is always carried out at a low temperature, which can well preserve the active components in tea.
