Japanese matcha for Orange County.

Who we supply in Orange County

Orange County's matcha demand centers on Irvine and on Little Saigon. Irvine's Asian shopping centers and the student market around UC Irvine keep boba, dessert, and matcha-focused shops busy, while the Vietnamese cafés of Westminster and Garden Grove sell matcha lattes alongside their coffee. Costa Mesa, Fullerton, and the coastal cities add specialty cafés, and many small chains here grow to several locations quickly.

• Boba and dessert shops in Irvine, Tustin, and around UC Irvine.
• Vietnamese cafés in Westminster and Garden Grove adding matcha drinks.
• Specialty cafés in Costa Mesa, Fullerton, and the beach cities.
• Small chains growing from one store to several and needing one lot across all of them.

Samples and wholesale delivery

Samples ship from our Dallas stock by USPS within 48 hours of your request and typically reach Orange County addresses in 2–4 days.

For wholesale, Orange County is close to the country's busiest container gateway: freight from Japan clears at the Ports of Long Beach or Los Angeles and is a short truck ride to Irvine or Garden Grove. Air freight clears at LAX.

Permits and licensing

The Orange County Health Care Agency's environmental health division permits food establishments in every city in the county, from Anaheim to San Clemente, so one authority covers the region.

• Businesses that manufacture, repack, or warehouse packaged food generally register with the California Department of Public Health.
• Proposition 65 applies statewide; we provide lot-specific heavy metal test results for each lot.

Keeping one taste across a growing chain

Orange County has a lot of concepts that go from one store to five in a couple of years. The matcha that worked in the first store has to taste the same in the fifth, even when a new location opens months later and a different team makes the drink. That is harder than it sounds: matcha changes from harvest to harvest, and a supplier that simply ships whatever is in stock will change your drink without telling you.

• We reserve a harvest lot for your account, so every location pours the same lot for as long as it lasts.
• Every sachet and bag carries the lot number and milling date, so a store manager can check what arrived.
• When a lot runs out, we can send samples of the next one for approval before it replaces the old one.
