Japanese matcha for Orange County.
Japanese matcha for Orange County cafes, boba shops, and restaurants, from Irvine to Little Saigon. Free sample kits let you test two grades first, and wholesale orders land at the Port of Long Beach, a short drive away.
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 cafes of Westminster and Garden Grove sell matcha lattes alongside their coffee. Costa Mesa, Fullerton, and the coastal cities add specialty cafes, and many small chains here grow to several locations quickly.
- Boba and dessert shops in Irvine, Tustin, and around UC Irvine.
- Vietnamese cafes in Westminster and Garden Grove adding matcha drinks.
- Specialty cafes 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
Free sample kits ship by USPS to Orange County addresses.
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.
