MATCHA
For seasonal lattes, desserts, mocktails, and overseas menu planning where vivid natural color helps the menu stand out.

Superfood context
Two colors. Two ingredient stories.
Green Matcha and Blue Matcha can both support a modern superfood-inspired menu story when the focus stays on ingredient identity, color, taste, texture, and B2B sample evaluation.

Japan's blue botanical category is gaining attention.
Public PR TIMES and Japan Blue information show how butterfly pea-derived ternatin is being discussed in Japan through separate Foods with Function Claims product examples.
For buyers, this helps place Blue Matcha within Japan's growing interest in blue botanical ingredients for menu development, product planning, sample evaluation, and documentation.
Butterfly pea gives drinks, desserts, and product concepts a vivid natural blue appearance.
Blue Smart and Blue First show public examples of ternatin in Japan's functional-food category.
Use Blue Matcha for menu trials, product planning, sample evaluation, and document discussion.
PR TIMES and Japan Blue references describe named products that are separate from Blue Matcha.

Three simple test formats.
Start with latte, hot-water, and iced-drink tests to understand color, taste, and dispersion before developing your own recipe.
Latte test
Blend a small measured amount with warm milk and strain or whisk until smooth. Check color, foam, and taste balance.
Hot tea test
Whisk with warm water to evaluate dispersion, color depth, and aroma before adding other ingredients.
Iced drink test
Shake with cold water and ice to check cold dispersion and color stability for cafe or bottle-menu development.

Start with a qualified sample and document review before discussing volume.
Powder sample
Blue Matcha powder sample for visual color, taste, dispersion, and menu fit checks.
Spec / COA review

Test formats

MOQ / lead time
MOQ and lead time can be discussed after sample and document checks, based on country, volume, and requirements.
Product boundary
A blue botanical ingredient for responsible product planning.
Blue Matcha carries a calm, ritual-inspired luxury character while remaining a botanical ingredient for menu and product development, not a medical or functional-benefit product.
The PR TIMES release covers separate Foods with Function Claims products. Blue Matcha is offered here for menu development, ingredient review, sample evaluation, and B2B planning.
Final wording depends on the destination market, product format, ingredient classification, color use, and supporting documents.
