High-Purity Functional Ingredients & Botanical Powders
Verified plant extracts, freeze-dried superfoods, and bio-nutritional actives tested by HPLC, GC, and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry for global and Montreal formulations.
Standardized Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder: Engineering for Quality
Navigating chlorophyll stabilization, L-Theanine to caffeine ratios, and grinding mesh micro-distribution for commercial-scale Canadian production.
Shade Cultivation & Photosynthetic Shifting
True functional matcha starts with strict agro-biological control. Tea plants (Camellia sinensis) undergo 20–25 days of 90% sun shading prior to spring harvest. This suppresses the conversion of L-theanine into astringent catechins, preserving high concentrations of glutamate precursors responsible for authentic broth-like umami.
≥1.8% L-Theanine ContentTencha De-Stemming & Low-Thermal Micronization
Leaves are rapidly de-enzymed via high-pressure steam within two hours of harvesting to permanently deactivate polyphenol oxidases. Stems and veins are aerodynamically separated to yield 100% pure leaf lamina (Tencha), followed by granite or ceramic jet micronization under 38°C to yield an ultra-fine particle profile of 800 to 1,500 mesh (9–15 microns).
D90 < 15μm DispersionHeavy Metals & Polycyclic Aromatic Compounds
Our extraction facilities eliminate contamination vectors through complete environmental zoning and soil monitoring. Every commercial production batch undergoes Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) screening to ensure lead (Pb) < 1.0 ppm, arsenic (As) < 0.5 ppm, and non-detectable organochlorine residues, exceeding both USDA and Canadian Health parameters.

Localized Applications in Montreal's Dynamic Culinary & Functional Ecosystem
From the creative bistros of Mile End to the cGMP contract blending facilities in Laval and Saint-Laurent, our organic matcha integrates seamlessly into Quebec's distinctive food industry.
Quebec Third-Wave Café Networks & Micro-Chains
Montreal boasts the highest density of specialty coffee & tea salons per capita in Eastern Canada. Our Grade 4A Latte formulation provides exceptionally fine surface foam stabilization when paired with micro-foamed oat and soy milks, guaranteeing no clumping and maintaining a luminous emerald visual profile without artificial additives.
Optimized EmulsificationArtisanal Boulangerie & French Pâtisserie
Quebec's heritage baking culture demands heat-stable botanical pigmentation that survives prolonged baking cycles up to 180°C. Torzi's Culinary grades preserve natural green pigments during macaron production, croissant laminations, and pastry cream infusions without turning muddy or yielding unwanted bitterness.
Thermal Pigment StabilityReady-To-Drink (RTD) & Functional Beverage Bottlers
Liquid co-packers across Greater Montreal incorporate our cold-water-soluble organic matcha into sparkling botanical elixirs, fermented kombuchas, and canned nootropic energy beverages. Highly reduced tannin astringency enables clean formulation alongside maple syrup or natural Quebec berry extracts.
Instant Suspension GradeSports Nutrition & Nootropic Contract Formulators
Laval and Longueuil nutraceutical manufacturers leverage our raw powder for synergistic combinations with mushroom powders (Lion's Mane, Cordyceps) and Taurine, targeting clean cognitive stamina without the jitters associated with synthetic anhydrous caffeine.
Synergistic L-Theanine / CaffeineClean-Label Organic Cosmeceuticals & Clay Masks
Quebec's booming clean-beauty industry relies on antioxidant-dense polyphenols (EGCG) to formulate exfoliating facial masks, antioxidant serums, and topical soaps. Ultra-fine micro-sieving prevents dermal abrasions while releasing active epigallocatechin gallate.
Cosmetic Topical GradeEmerging Consumption Trends Transforming the Quebec Matcha Landscape
Analyzing procurement shifts driven by Bill 96 linguistic governance, plant-based dairy dominance, and eco-certified origin verifications.
1. Strict French/English Bilingual Regulatory Alignment (Bill 96)
In Montreal, dietary and culinary ingredients must satisfy the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) and Health Canada mandates. Retail-ready private labels require bilingual packaging with French prominence. Torzi Biotech coordinates primary export carton declarations and spec sheets with dual-language accuracy, ensuring zero dockside impounds at Port of Montreal.
2. Functional Adaptogen & Mycological Fusion Blends
Pure green tea is increasingly cross-blended with high-purity mushroom extracts. Our facility manufactures dual-extracted Lion's Mane and Reishi powders alongside matcha, enabling Montreal superfood developers to order customized, homogeneous functional premixes in one unified drum, eliminating separate import tariffs and blending steps.
3. Transparent Supply Chains & Third-Party Pesticide Panels
Quebec consumers are acutely conscious of chemical residues. Sourcing teams now demand multi-residue gas chromatography screening (covering over 400 banned compounds). We supply full panel tests with limits matching the Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) guidelines with every master export lot.

Bulk Drums to Retail PouchesFrequently Asked Questions by Canadian & Montreal Sourcing Directors
Clear details on customs, organic equivalency, sample fulfillment, and logistics pipelines.
Are your organic certificates recognized by the CFIA under Canada Organic Regime (COR)?
Yes. Our plantations and manufacturing centers carry USDA Organic certification, which functions under the US-Canada Organic Equivalency Arrangement (USCOEA). This allows seamless recognition by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and enables legitimate organic marketing throughout Quebec without duplicate auditing.
What is the typical shipping lead time to Montreal via air cargo and marine freight?
For urgent formulation schedules, air cargo to Montreal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL) takes 5 to 7 business days following QA release. Standard full-container loads (FCL) or palletized LCL shipments through the Port of Montreal (direct Saint Lawrence river terminal delivery) typically take 25 to 32 days from vessel departure.
How do you prevent oxidation and color fading during international transit?
Matcha degradation occurs primarily via UV light, warmth, and oxygen exposure. We pack all wholesale matcha inside heavy aluminum multilayer barrier bags with heat-sealed vacuum seals, infused with food-grade nitrogen gas flushing, and shielded inside reinforced outer corrugated cartons or airtight poly-lined fiber drums.
Can we request pre-shipment testing samples from the actual production lot?
Absolutely. We follow an ironclad verification protocol: we send 50g–100g pre-shipment retain samples along with the corresponding HPLC analytical Certificate of Analysis. Once your internal QC laboratory approves the sensory profile, particle distribution, and chemical markers, the reserved warehouse batch is cleared for export dispatch.
What are the Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ) for bulk powder versus custom private labeling?
Our standard bulk raw ingredient MOQ is 25 kg (one standard fiber drum). For pilot commercial trials and initial production formulation runs, we accommodate test minimums starting from 1 kg to 5 kg. For finished turnkey private-label products (tins, stand-up pouches, or stick-packs), OEM project minimums start at 500 units.
Do you offer custom blending services with other active botanical ingredients?
Yes. Many Quebec clients take advantage of our facility's ribbon blenders to formulate proprietary blends, combining organic matcha with functional mushroom extracts (Lion's Mane, Turkey Tail), pure L-Theanine powder, or superfood bases (Acai, Coconut Milk, Kiwi) under ISO-certified sanitary conditions.
