Riching Matcha

Riching Matcha emerged as a modern force in the traditional world of matcha (抹茶) production, establishing itself as a leading organic matcha manufacturer in China. The company operates from Yuhang, Hangzhou City, strategically positioned in one of China’s premier tea-growing regions where climate and soil conditions create ideal environments for high-quality matcha cultivation.

The foundation of Riching Matcha’s operations rests on their expansive 1,000,000 square meter organic tea farm, which enables year-round steady supply of both pure and certified organic matcha varieties. This substantial agricultural footprint distinguishes the company in an industry where land ownership and direct cultivation control are crucial for quality assurance.

Riching Matcha has developed a comprehensive approach to matcha production that bridges traditional Japanese techniques with modern manufacturing capabilities. The company employs both machine-harvesting and hand-picking techniques, asserting that their processing methods minimize quality differences between the two approaches. This dual methodology allows them to maintain efficiency for large-scale operations while preserving the precision traditionally associated with premium matcha production.

The company’s commitment to quality control extends beyond cultivation to rigorous testing protocols. Independent laboratory testing plays a crucial role in ensuring purity and consistency, with tests verifying the absence of contaminants such as heavy metals and pesticides while confirming antioxidant content and overall quality standards. These quality assurance measures have earned recognition from international authoritative testing organizations including EUROFINS, SGS, and ALEX STEWART.

Riching Matcha has achieved significant certifications that validate their organic production methods. The company holds both EU and USDA organic certifications, enabling them to supply certified organic matcha to international markets with confidence in meeting stringent regulatory standards.

The company’s product portfolio reflects deep understanding of market segmentation, offering everything from culinary grade matcha (料理用抹茶) derived from later harvests to ceremonial grade matcha (茶道用抹茶) sourced from the prized first harvest or ichibancha (一番茶). This tiered system acknowledges that different applications require different quality profiles, from baking and smoothies to traditional tea ceremonies.

Beyond basic matcha production, Riching Matcha has positioned itself as a comprehensive supplier offering customized bulk packaging and private label services. This value-added service allows businesses to create their own matcha-based products with tailored branding, from tins and boxes to aluminum pouches and zip-lock bags. The company ships over 500 tons annually, demonstrating substantial market reach and operational capacity.
