Japanese matcha for the Bay Area.
Japanese matcha for cafés, boba shops, restaurants, and office pantries across San Francisco, the East Bay, and the South Bay. Free sample kits arrive in 2–4 days, and wholesale orders come in through the Port of Oakland.
Who we supply in the Bay Area
The Bay Area splits into three matcha markets. San Francisco has specialty cafés and tea houses, with Japantown and the Sunset and Richmond districts adding Japanese and Asian dessert shops. The South Bay (San Jose, Cupertino, Milpitas, Sunnyvale) has some of the busiest boba corridors in the state. The East Bay, from Berkeley to Oakland, mixes specialty cafés with university demand. Across all three, office pantries and corporate cafés are a real matcha buyer that most other regions do not have.

Samples and wholesale delivery
Samples ship from our Dallas stock by USPS within 48 hours of your request and typically reach Bay Area addresses in 2–4 days.
Wholesale orders are milled to order in Japan. Ocean freight usually clears at the Port of Oakland, the main container gateway for Northern California, and trucks from there to anywhere in the Bay. Air freight clears at SFO.
Permits and licensing
Food permits in the Bay Area are issued county by county. San Francisco's Department of Public Health, Alameda County Environmental Health, and the Santa Clara County Department of Environmental Health each permit food businesses in their area, and Berkeley has its own environmental health division.
- 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.
Supplying office pantries and corporate cafés
Office pantries buy matcha differently from cafés. The drink is usually made by the person drinking it, sometimes with a machine or a shaker, often with a plant-based milk, and the same powder has to work for someone making a hot latte at 9am and an iced one at 3pm. Consistency across many locations matters more than a signature cup, and procurement wants documentation.
- Ask for a pair that includes an easy-mixing grade, and test it with your pantry's milk and equipment.
- One reserved lot across every office keeps the drink the same from floor to floor.
- Every sachet carries origin, harvest, cultivar, lot number, and milling date; lot test results are available for procurement.
