Our Matcha

Blended with intent, engineered gram by gram

Headquartered in Hangzhou by West Lake, RongQing pairs Japanese shade-cultivation standards with Chinese terroir. Across three regions, three signature cultivars and three grinding methods, our gōgumi blending engineers one formula per client — tuned for colour, aroma, taste, particle size and cost, and backed by strict QC and lot-level traceability.

Japanese-standard gardens

Imported Yabukita stock and Japanese shade-cultivation protocols; a core team trained at a century-old Japanese house.

Gōgumi blending

Uji's century-old blending on the skeleton of Chinese cultivars and terroir — every formula engineered for its application.

Quality & traceability

Nitrogen protection and an end-to-end cold chain; every lot carries in-house QC, a COA and origin-to-mill traceability.
