Stop picking a side on bulk matcha
Buying bulk matcha in the UK used to mean a choice: a Japanese supplier at premium prices, or a Chinese source and a gamble on quality. We stock both — so you get the right matcha for your application, not whatever one supplier happens to have.
We ship from our Birmingham warehouse, with most stocked lines out in 3–5 working days. For larger procurement we work directly with farms in Uji, Nishio, Kagoshima, Zhejiang and Fujian to ship direct or via UK holding stock.

The honest comparison
Japanese or Chinese origin: which to choose
This is where we differ from most UK matcha suppliers. We source from both Japan and China, and we are straight about the trade-offs. Buyers who need matcha as a visible, tasted ingredient — drinks, lattes, dessert toppings — gravitate to Japanese grades. Buyers who need it as a functional ingredient in a formulation find Chinese organic grades deliver the quality they need at a price that protects their margins.
We carry both, recommend the right one for your use case, and send samples of each so you can test before committing.
Japanese origin
Premium, umami, retail-ready
- Uji, Nishio & Kagoshima farms
- Stone-ground, shade-grown tencha
- Deep colour, smooth umami, high L-theanine
- Best for lattes, ceremonial drinks, premium tins
- Higher cost — commands a higher retail price
Chinese organic
Clean, certified, built for volume
- Zhejiang & Fujian provinces
- Vibrant, clean-tasting, organic certified
- Same standards as Japanese product
- Best for bakery, supplements, manufacturing
- Fraction of the cost at scale
Match the grade to the job
Grades available at bulk volumes
Not all matcha is created equal, and the grade you need depends entirely on how you plan to use it. Here is what we stock for bulk supply.
| Grade | Origin | Best for | Volume range | Cost tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ceremonial | Japanese (Uji, Nishio, Kagoshima) | Drinking, lattes, premium retail | 5kg – 500kg | Premium |
| Culinary | Japanese | Bakery, confectionery, food service | 5kg – 1t+ | Mid-range |
| Organic culinary | Chinese (Zhejiang, Fujian) | Manufacturing, supplements, private label | 25kg – 1t+ | Value |
| Ingredient grade | Chinese | High-volume manufacturing, RTD, blending | 50kg – 1t+ | Economy |
Not sure which grade fits? That is exactly what sampling is for. Plenty of buyers start with ceremonial and find culinary does the job perfectly for their application. Better to find out with a 100g sample than a 50kg order.
Quote-based pricing
Volume tiers & how pricing works
Bulk matcha pricing depends on grade, origin, volume, packaging and certification. Here is how the tiers generally work.
1
5–25kg
Trial & small cafés
Cafes, small bakeries and businesses trialling matcha. Smaller pack runs, still well below retail per-kilo.
2
25–100kg
Established foodservice
Where most food service businesses sit. Quarterly orders attract better pricing; we hold stock against a standing order.
3
100–500kg
Scale & schedule
Meaningful price breaks, scheduled deliveries, dedicated batch documentation and priority allocation on new harvests.
4
500kg–1t+
Direct from origin
Container shipments from Japan or China straight to your facility — cutting handling and per-kilo cost significantly.
The jump from 5kg to 100kg can cut your per-kilo cost by 30–50% depending on grade. 5kg bags are the sweet spot for cafes; manufacturers tend to order 20–25kg units for batch consistency.
Paperwork that passes compliance
Quality & documentation
When you are putting matcha into a commercial product, you need paperwork — we get that. Every bulk order can ship with a Certificate of Analysis covering colour, particle size, moisture, heavy metals and microbiology, plus the organic certificates relevant to your origin and destination market.
We also provide allergen statements, nutritional data and full batch traceability to the farm. Japanese ceremonial grades test consistently below EU residue limits; Chinese organic grades carry third-party certification with annual pesticide testing built in.

Keep it vibrant
Storage & shelf life
Matcha is sensitive to heat, light, moisture and odours. Proper storage is the difference between a vibrant green powder and a dull, oxidised one.
Keep below 25°C
Dry, temperature-controlled, away from direct light.
No strong odours
Matcha absorbs smells — keep away from coffee, spices, cleaning products.
12–24 months sealed
Shelf life from production. Once opened, airtight and use within 3–6 months.
FIFO rotation
First-in, first-out. We include storage guidelines with every shipment.

Frequently asked questions about bulk matcha
What is the minimum order for bulk matcha?
Our bulk matcha supply starts from 5kg for most grades. For ingredient-grade or white-label packaging runs, we typically work from 50kg upwards. There's no fixed minimum — tell us what you need and we'll confirm the best route.
Can I get samples before placing a bulk order?
Yes. We provide samples for all grades and origins so you can test colour, taste, and performance in your specific application before committing to volume.
What is the difference between Japanese and Chinese matcha?
Japanese matcha (primarily from Uji, Nishio, and Kagoshima) is stone-ground from shade-grown tencha leaves and tends to be smoother with higher umami. Chinese matcha is typically produced in Zhejiang or Fujian provinces at larger scale, making it more cost-effective for culinary, bakery, and supplement applications. Both can be organic certified.
What documentation do you provide with bulk orders?
Depending on the grade and origin, we can supply Certificates of Analysis (COA), organic certificates (JAS, USDA, EU/CERES), allergen statements, and batch traceability. Let us know your requirements when requesting a quote.
How should bulk matcha be stored?
Keep sealed bags below 25°C, away from direct light and strong odours. Unopened bags last 12-24 months. Once opened, transfer to airtight containers and use within 3-6 months. We include storage guidelines with every order.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide from our UK warehouse. For large international orders, we can arrange direct container shipment from origin to reduce cost and lead time.
