About
About Matcha Export Japan
Matcha Export Japan (Imexporta) is a specialized matcha sourcing and export service based in Japan, connecting international buyers with authentic, high-quality matcha directly from Japan's premier tea-growing regions.
Our expertise
We work directly with established tea farmers and processors in Uji (Kyoto), Nishio (Aichi), Yame (Fukuoka), and Shizuoka — Japan's most respected matcha production areas. Every lot is inspected for color, solubility, and documentation fit before export.
Our mission
Our mission is to make genuine Japanese matcha accessible to global markets while supporting sustainable tea cultivation practices and fair partnerships with Japanese tea producers.
Our matcha sourcing team works year-round with Japanese tea gardens and mills. All products are evaluated for quality and traceability before they are offered for wholesale export.
What is ceremonial grade matcha?
Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality classification of matcha powder, produced from the youngest, shade-grown tea leaves harvested in early spring (first flush). The leaves are stone-ground into a fine powder without removing stems or veins. This grade is intended to be prepared as a beverage on its own — whisked with hot water — and is not typically used for cooking or baking.
Matcha is shade-grown green tea that is steamed, dried, and milled into a fine powder so you consume the whole leaf. Ceremonial grade emphasizes sweetness and umami; culinary grade uses later harvests with a bolder, slightly more bitter profile suited to lattes and food manufacturing.
Matcha grades at a glance
| Grade | Use case | Flavor profile | Color |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ceremonial | Tea ceremony, drinking neat | Sweet, umami, low bitterness | Bright green |
| Premium | Lattes, specialty drinks | Balanced, mild | Green |
| Culinary | Baking, cooking, ice cream | Stronger, slightly bitter | Darker green |

Timing
The window is narrowing
Global demand for matcha powder continues to outpace premium supply. Cafés and retail chains are expanding matcha SKUs; ingredient buyers are locking multi-year slots. Meanwhile, authentic Japanese matcha remains capacity-constrained—substitutes and off-grade powders flood the mid-market, pushing discerning customers toward verified origins.
- Demand — Matcha is a repeatable, high-ticket line across beverages, wellness, and gifting.
- Constraint — True shade-grown, stone-milled capacity does not scale overnight.
- Opportunity cost — Delay means competing for the same limited slots next season—or explaining gaps to your customers.

Frequently asked questions about matcha export
Straight answers for wholesale matcha buyers, bulk matcha procurement, and matcha export from Japan.
What grades of matcha do you export?
We export ceremonial grade matcha (suitable for traditional tea ceremony), premium grade (for lattes and high-end beverages), and culinary grade (for food production and cooking). All grades are sourced directly from established tea producers in Uji, Nishio, and other renowned Japanese tea regions.

Yes. We offer B2B wholesale and export services for restaurants, cafes, food manufacturers, and retailers. Minimum order quantities and custom packaging options are available. Please contact us for a quote.
What is the difference between ceremonial and culinary matcha?
Ceremonial matcha uses the youngest, first-harvest tea leaves and is stone-ground to a fine powder. It has a delicate, sweet flavor intended to be whisked with water and consumed as-is. Culinary matcha uses later harvests with a stronger, more bitter flavor that stands up well in lattes, baked goods, and cooking applications.
