Ceremonial Grade Matcha - Bulk Supply

Premium Japanese ceremonial matcha at wholesale scale

If your brand, cafe or retail range demands the highest grade of matcha available, this is the supply route built for you. Our ceremonial grade matcha is sourced from first-harvest tencha leaves grown in Japan's premier tea regions — Uji, Nishio and Kagoshima — where shade-growing traditions stretch back centuries and producers know exactly how to coax out that vivid emerald green colour and smooth, sweet umami flavour.

This is matcha for drinking straight. It works as the hero ingredient in premium lattes, whisked into traditional bowls, or packaged as a high-end retail product under your own brand. The flavour profile is what separates ceremonial from everything else: naturally sweet with layered umami, minimal bitterness, and a clean finish that doesn't need sugar or syrups to taste exceptional.

Who buys ceremonial grade in bulk

We supply cafes building matcha-forward menus, speciality retailers launching premium tea ranges, drinks brands developing RTD lines, and white-label businesses that want to position at the top of the market. If your customer expects to see "ceremonial grade" on the label — and expects the quality to back it up — this is the product to build on.

Volumes start at 5kg for product development and sampling, and scale to 100kg for ongoing supply. If you need larger recurring volumes, we can structure annual supply agreements with fixed pricing windows.

Quality and specifications

Every batch is stone-ground from first-harvest tencha, producing an ultra-fine powder in the 5 to 10 micron range. That particle size matters — it's what gives ceremonial matcha its silky mouthfeel and the ability to suspend cleanly in water without grit or sediment.

The colour is a reliable quality indicator. Genuine ceremonial grade should be a vivid, almost luminous emerald green. Anything dull, yellowish or olive-toned is a sign of later harvest leaves or poor processing. Our supply maintains that colour consistency batch to batch because we work directly with growers who grade to the same standard every season.

Certifications and documentation

• JAS organic certified (Japan Agricultural Standard)
• USDA organic and EU organic certification available depending on lot
• Certificate of Analysis (COA) provided per batch on request
• Allergen statements and batch traceability documentation included

Storage guidance for commercial buyers

Matcha is sensitive to light, heat and oxygen. Store sealed bags in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Unopened bulk bags maintain quality for 12 to 18 months. Once opened, use within 4 to 6 months for best colour and flavour — though proper resealing extends this significantly.

For cafe and hospitality settings, decant working stock into opaque, airtight containers and keep the bulk supply sealed until needed. Refrigeration is ideal for longer-term storage but not essential if conditions are cool and stable.

Pricing and how to order

Indicative pricing is shown per variant. Final quotes depend on current crop availability, specific grade selection within the ceremonial tier, packaging format, certification requirements and lead time. Pricing improves meaningfully at 25kg and above.
