Explore our high-performance extract formulations tailored for clinical efficacy, shelf-life stability, and bio-absorption.
Established in 2012, Chengdu Chenlv Herb Co., Ltd. (affectionately known as "Chenlv Herb") functions as a high-technology pioneer in botanical sciences. Our core mission encompasses the discovery, micro-engineering, high-throughput extraction, and worldwide logistics of premium-grade botanical extracts and natural pharmaceutical intermediates.
Strategically headquartered in Chengdu, Sichuan—renowned for its biological diversity and high-altitude, pesticide-free tea cultivars—we leverage our 9,514 square meter facility to provide specialized raw materials. We accommodate strict requirements for pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, clean-label foods, and advanced cosmetics.
Modern functional ingredient sourcing requires higher standards than basic grinding techniques. Standard green tea powders face degradation when exposed to oxygen, light, and heat, reducing their therapeutic efficacy. Chenlv Herb resolves these challenges by introducing a specialized multi-stage wet extraction and micro-filtration system.
Our extraction roadmap focuses on protecting the primary active molecules of the tea leaf, including L-Theanine, Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), Caffeine, and natural Chlorophyll. By utilizing Subcritical Water Extraction (SWE) alongside low-temperature vacuum freeze-drying, we isolate green tea catechins without causing structural degradation from heat. The result is a highly soluble, stable matcha extract powder that integrates easily into liquid functional beverages and cosmetic bases.
Additionally, our R&D pipeline focuses on nano-emulsified encapsulation. By enclosing hydrophobic polyphenols inside a lipid-core shell, we improve bioavailability in the human digestive system. This scientific advance positions Chengdu Chenlv Herb at the forefront of the natural health products market.

Decades of combined technical experience in international phytochemistry regulations and standards.
How Chengdu Chenlv Herb combines advanced technology with lean manufacturing to secure pricing stability.
In the global plant extract market, price volatility in raw materials remains a primary challenge for procurement departments. At Chenlv Herb, we manage this risk using a vertical integration strategy. By establishing proprietary, organic cooperative tea plantations in the high-altitude regions of Sichuan, we secure stable access to raw Camellia sinensis leaves. This direct sourcing insulates our clients from seasonal price fluctuations, ensuring reliable, long-term supply arrangements.
Inside our 9,514㎡ processing plant, we utilize smart manufacturing technologies (Factory 4.0) to optimize output. Our production processes rely on automated DCS-controlled extraction lines, high-throughput continuous countercurrent columns, and membrane separation units. These automated systems maintain uniform temperatures and flow rates, reducing human error and batch variations. This technical control improves total extraction yields by 14% compared to traditional batch methods, lowering per-unit production costs and allowing us to offer highly competitive pricing on Matcha Extract bulk orders.
In addition, our closed-loop thermal recovery systems recycle energy back into the initial boiling phases. This circular design minimizes water and power consumption, helping us meet clean-production standards while offering sustainable pricing options to global buyers.

A reference guide on standardized extract specifications, quality grades, and wholesale pricing parameters.
For procurement professionals, understanding the difference between culinary matcha powder and concentrated Matcha Extract (Polyphenols & L-Theanine) is critical for optimizing formulation costs. Conventional tea powders contain large amounts of insoluble fibers, which can sediment in liquid formulations and cause grittiness in foods. In contrast, standardized extracts isolate target molecules like catechins and L-theanine, delivering higher potency in lower doses.
Our pricing model is based on active ingredient purity, solubility profiles, and compliance requirements. For example, formulations requiring low pesticide residues for EU or US market access require advanced supercritical filtration steps, which is reflected in the final cost. To assist procurement departments, we provide an estimated price list for our core green tea and matcha extract series below:
| Product Identifier | Standard Specifications | Testing Protocol | Application Focus | Price Indicator (per KG) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chenlv-Matcha-01 | Green Tea Extract (30% L-Theanine) | HPLC-DAD | Nootropics & Relaxing Beverages | Contact Representative |
| Chenlv-Matcha-02 | Matcha Polyphenols > 98%, EGCG > 50% | UV / HPLC | Antioxidant & Metabolic Health | Contact Representative |
| Chenlv-Matcha-03 | Water Soluble Matcha Concentrate (Instant) | Gravimetric / Mesh | RTD Tea & Functional Beverages | Contact Representative |
| Chenlv-Matcha-04 | USDA Organic Certified Matcha Extract | GC-MS / LC-MS | Premium Clean-Label Brands | Contact Representative |
Please note that bulk pricing variations depend on order volumes, packaging specifications (e.g., 25kg fiber drums vs. custom small packaging), and specialized regulatory certification needs. We recommend contacting our sales representatives to obtain a formal quotation tailored to your specifications.

Navigating global regulatory landscapes to ensure seamless market entry and consumer safety.
Entering international botanical markets requires strict adherence to regional safety standards. Ingredients destined for the European Union must comply with EC 396/2005 pesticide residue limits, while imports to the United States must meet FDA GRAS status or New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) notifications. At Chenlv Herb, we manage these compliance requirements directly.
Our laboratory uses LC-MS/MS systems to monitor pesticide levels, ensuring our export products are verified free from organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids. We also perform heavy metal testing using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to keep Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium, and Mercury concentrations well below European Pharmacopoeia (EP) thresholds.
To support global supply requirements, our facility maintains active certifications for ISO9001, ISO22000, Kosher, Halal, and FDA registration. This compliance framework simplifies the importation process and ensures our ingredients meet national entry requirements.
Our facilities and processes conform to leading international standards for safety, quality, and purity.
