Japanese Tea Wholesale from Shizuoka
Named-producer Japanese tea and craft sparkling tea, direct from a fifth-generation tea house in Yaizu, Shizuoka. MOQ starts from 1 kg for tea and matcha, and 1 case for sparkling tea. FOB Yaizu. Lot-level reports available on request, depending on current test status.
Our Approach
Our approach to grades
We do not classify our teas using "ceremonial," "premium," or "culinary" grades. Instead, we identify each tea by cultivar, producer, harvest, and intended use — so buyers can evaluate teas based on origin and production rather than marketing terminology.
Who we work with
We work best with importers, specialty tea companies, cafés, and food businesses seeking long-term, single-origin supply relationships. Many of our teas are produced in limited quantities and are best suited to buyers who value origin, traceability, and long-term relationships over commodity-scale volume.
Minimum order quantities
Minimum order quantities vary by product and harvest. Some teas are available from 1 kg, while limited named-producer lots may be subject to allocation.
Samples
Samples are arranged individually. Paid samples are priced by per-kg rate; the standard matcha sample is 50 g per cultivar. Shipping is charged at actual cost. Sample cost can be credited toward your first wholesale order placed within 90 days.
Lead time
Lead time depends on product, availability, season, and destination. Freshly milled matcha and finishing-to-order lots require additional preparation time.
Residue testing
Pesticide residue testing can be arranged on request through a Japanese third-party laboratory. For buyers who require EU MRL confirmation or other market-specific residue checks, we only make such claims after lot-specific testing has been completed. Certificates or test reports may be available depending on the lot, timing, and requested analysis.
Matcha & Powdered Green Tea
2026 crop now available. Current availability on request.
We describe matcha by origin, producer, harvest, cultivation, milling, and intended use — not by broad grade labels.
