Matcha Export from Japan — 70 Countries
We move Japanese matcha
from the farm to your shelf.
More than shipping boxes.
Sourcing, quality checks, label information, customs. We work closely with the people who grow matcha and
the people who sell it, so good matcha keeps reaching the world.

Track Record
In cafés abroad. On shelves in Japan.
Major retailers in Japan and cafés and brands overseas sell the matcha we handle. We choose the leaf, design the pack and run the production ourselves.

Matcha from Mimikou, a long-established curry udon restaurant in Kyoto. Halal-certified matcha made only from Uji leaf. We designed the packaging.

A matcha line under the City Camp Inc. brand. We chose the matcha and ran the production, and it sells in 33 stores including Don Quijote.

Overseas / Puerto Rico Utopía Café
& Matcha Bar
A café brand with two shops. They serve the Natsume blend. We designed the pack and made the product.
Business Model
We do more than export.
On the farm side we take care of quality control and shipping. On the buyer side we listen to what the market wants, then bring that back to the farms. Making all three sides better off is how this business works.
With the farms
Growers should be able to spend their time growing tea. We take the export work off their hands.- Export papers and customs, so the paperwork stops being their problem
- A farm tour every month, bringing buyers straight to the fields
- What buyers said in meetings, passed back for the next product
- Brochures, booths and other material for overseas
With the buyers
Quality you cannot predict, stock that runs out, questions nobody answers. We fix those with a system.- Test results and how the tea was made, written down, so quality is a fact
- Five regions and a wide range of grades, so supply holds up year after year
- Labels, packing and customs handled together, so one company covers export
- Prices built from what we see on the ground, so you know what you pay for
- What sells where, shared with you, plus the story behind the tea
Market
Why matcha, and why now.
Japanese tea is one of the fastest growing food exports from Japan. Demand is moving faster than the supply side can follow.
Source: Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, export results for 2025 (published 3 February 2026). Japanese tea exports doubled in a year and tripled in three.
