Guizhou 'super factory' helps take matcha to the world

At the foot of Fanjing Mountain in Tongren, Guizhou province, a "matcha super factory" is racing to bring the unique taste of nature to the world.

Sweetness interlaced with a hint of subtle bitterness, swiftly transforming into a delightful aftertaste, much like the palpitations of a youthful crush — matcha, a finely ground powder of processed dried green tea leaves, is gaining popularity among consumers.

Matcha powder, matcha latte, matcha cookies, matcha noodles, matcha chocolate — various products are ready to be shipped from the automated production lines of Guizhou Tongren Gui Tea Co.
