This page addresses professional buyers: formulators, food manufacturers, tea brands and café groups that integrate matcha into a finished product. It covers the procurement conditions that matter at that scale, namely grade selection against a target application, minimum order, public pricing, European stock availability, certification scope and the documentation a quality team will request before approving a supplier. Every reference is certified organic under Regulation (EU) 2018/848 and Soil Association GB-ORG-05. For the commercial overview of the range, see our matcha wholesale homepage.
Wholesale Matcha supplies organic bulk matcha powder directly to professional buyers across the European Union. The matcha B2B offer is deliberately simple: three certified organic references, one public price per kilo, a minimum order of one bag, and stock held in Europe. No account opening, no negotiation, no quotation stage before a price appears. You choose a grade, order the quantity you need, and we dispatch the same working day when the order is confirmed before midday.
This page carries the whole offer and sends you to the page holding the detail you need: the price grid, the three product pages, private label conditions, shipping terms and the complete FAQ.

- Minimum order: one bag.
- European stock, dispatched the same working day for orders confirmed before midday.
- Intra-EU VAT exemption for buyers with a valid VAT identification number.

What we sell: three certified organic matcha references
The range is short on purpose. Three references cover drinking tea, everyday versatility and food manufacturing, and all three are sold as bulk matcha powder under the same ordering rules. A short range keeps stock deep, keeps prices public and removes the comparison work created by a catalogue of overlapping grades.
| Reference | Position in the range | Typical buyer | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ceremonial grade matcha, Japan | Top of the range, intended for direct consumption as a whisked tea | Tea houses, cafes, premium retail, hotels and restaurants | Ceremonial grade matcha from Japan |
| Grade AA stone ground matcha | Stone ground, positioned as the versatile reference for daily use | Brands needing one reference across several products | Grade AA stone ground matcha |
| Culinary grade matcha | Intended for blending, baking and beverage manufacturing | Food and drink manufacturers, private label projects | Culinary grade matcha |
Ceremonial grade matcha from Japan
The ceremonial reference is the top of the range, intended for direct consumption as a whisked tea. It is the grade to order when the powder is the product rather than an ingredient, and when the mouthfeel and the colour carry the customer's judgement.
- Origin: Japan.
- Format: bulk matcha powder in sealed food grade bags.
- Documented data: mesh, moisture, ash, protein, fibre, caffeine, EGCG, iron.
- Ordering: from one bag, at the published price per kilo.
Current price, packaging and presentation are on the ceremonial grade matcha from Japan page. The full selection sits in our range of matcha.
Grade AA stone ground matcha
Grade AA is the middle of the range and the reference most buyers start with when one powder has to serve drinks, dairy alternatives and pastry work. The stone grinding step shapes the texture, and the specification sheet states the granularity data you need if your process sets a mesh requirement.
- Grinding: stone ground.
- Format: bulk matcha powder in sealed food grade bags.
- Documented data: mesh, moisture, ash, protein, fibre, caffeine, EGCG, iron.
- Ordering: from one bag, at the published price per kilo.
Price and packaging: Grade AA stone ground matcha.
Culinary grade matcha
The culinary reference is built for products where matcha is an ingredient rather than the whole proposition: baked goods, frozen desserts, ready to drink formats, supplement blends. How the powder behaves at your dosage level is what decides whether a recipe works, so the practical test is a pilot batch rather than a specification comparison alone.
- Format: bulk matcha powder in sealed food grade bags.
- Documented data: mesh, moisture, ash, protein, fibre, caffeine, EGCG, iron.
- Ordering: from one bag, at the published price per kilo.
Price and packaging: culinary grade matcha.
Matcha specifications you can check before ordering
Every reference is documented on the same parameters, so you can compare them without sending an email first: mesh size, moisture, ash, protein, fibre, caffeine, EGCG and iron. The values for a reference are on its specification sheet, and the values for the lot you actually receive are on the certificate of analysis delivered with it. If one parameter carries a limit in your own product specification, request the sheet before you order rather than after.
Why buying direct changes the economics
What the classic distributor route adds to your price
The import chain is designed for buyers who order by the container, and its conditions are then applied to everyone further down. That is why a first order often starts with a form instead of a price.
- A minimum order expressed in hundreds of kilos, sometimes in tonnes.
- Account opening with company documents, trade references and credit checks.
- Negotiation before a figure is quoted, so two buyers pay two prices for one product.
- Successive margin layers between the producer and your warehouse.
- Stock you cannot see, with availability confirmed only after a booking.
What we remove from the chain
- One bag replaces the pallet minimum.
- Prices are published and visible before any contact.
- No account opening: you order, you pay, we dispatch.
- Three specified references replace a catalogue of near duplicates.
- Stock sits in Europe, so your cash does not wait for a vessel.
| Decision point | Wholesale Matcha | Classic distributor route |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum order | One bag | Multi-hundred-kilo minimum |
| Price visibility | Published per kilo on the site | Quoted after account opening and negotiation |
| Account opening | Not required | Required before any pricing |
| Range | Three references, each fully specified | Wide catalogue, uneven documentation |
| Stock location | Europe, ready for dispatch | Depends on importer cycles |
| Answer to a question | Reply within 24 working hours | Depends on an account manager |
Public pricing per kilo and no account opening
One price per kilo, displayed to everyone
Prices are public. The bag price and the price per kilo for each reference are on the site, and they do not change according to who is asking. No account is needed to see them, and no buyer negotiates a better number in private. The consolidated grid for the three references is on the matcha price per kilo page.
Why we do not negotiate
Negotiation suits buyers who order by the container and can wait days for a quotation. It penalises everyone else: an independent cafe testing a new drink, a producer building a first recipe, a brand preparing its launch. A single public price removes the question of who obtained the better deal and lets a matcha B2B buyer build a costing model before sending a single email. The number on the page is the number on the invoice.
Minimum order: one bag
The minimum order is one bag, with no exception and no hidden condition: no annual volume commitment, no exclusivity clause, no turnover threshold to cross before a price applies. You can buy one bag of ceremonial grade to taste it and test it in service, then reorder at the same public price.
That matters more than it sounds. Sampling is how a buyer decides, and a distributor that demands hundreds of kilos before the first delivery takes that decision away from you. If you are still comparing supply models, the guide to choosing your matcha supplier lists the criteria worth checking: profile, granularity, behaviour in cold liquids, documentation, and what happens when a lot disappoints.
European stock and lead times
Our stock is held in Europe. That single fact decides the rest: no customs clearance, no import duty, no port delay, no currency exposure between your order and your delivery, and no container-sized quantity to finance before the first kilo is sold.
Same-day dispatch before midday
Orders confirmed before midday on a working day are prepared and dispatched the same day. Orders confirmed later leave on the next working day. The dispatch point is inside the European Union, so the goods move as a domestic freight operation rather than an import.
Delivery to Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland and the rest of the EU
Lead times depend on the destination zone and are published, with delivery rates, the free delivery threshold and the returns conditions, on the shipping and returns page. For VAT, an intra-EU supply of goods to a taxable person is exempt under Article 138 of Directive 2006/112/EC: you provide your VAT identification number and the invoice is issued without VAT.
Certifications and compliance for B2B matcha buyers
Organic matcha B2B supply is a regulated trade, not a marketing claim. The framework is Regulation (EU) 2018/848 on organic production and the labelling of organic products, which covers production, certification, labelling and controls. Our references are sold as organic within that framework, and the evidence travels with the goods.
- Organic certificate for the range, on request.
- Specification sheet per reference: mesh, moisture, ash, protein, fibre, caffeine, EGCG, iron.
- Certificate of analysis for the delivered lot.
- Labelling data for your own packaging, including EGCG content per portion.
Certification is a starting point. If you place matcha on the EU market, as an ingredient or as a finished product, your own obligations apply to the recipe, the portion size and the label. We supply the technical data; the food business operator named on the pack carries the final responsibility.
Documentation available on request
Nothing on the document list is conditional on order size. A buyer ordering one bag can request the same papers as a buyer ordering a pallet.
| Document | What it covers | How to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Specification sheet | Mesh, moisture, ash, protein, fibre, caffeine, EGCG, iron | On request, before ordering |
| Certificate of analysis | Results for the lot you receive | On request, with the delivery |
| Organic certificate | Organic status of the range | On request |
| Commercial documents | Invoice with the VAT treatment of the supply | With dispatch |
| Label data | EGCG content per portion for your packaging | On request |
The EGCG limit: what every buyer must know before labelling
Green tea carries a specific EU restriction that any buyer of matcha should understand before setting a recipe or printing a label. Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/2340 restricts green tea extracts containing EGCG, the main catechin in green tea, and attaches both a daily portion limit and a set of labelling duties to it.
The 800 mg rule per daily portion
A daily portion of a food or a food supplement must stay under 800 mg of EGCG. The restriction does not operate on the content per kilo, which is why a figure in a specification sheet and a figure on a label are not the same calculation. The scientific opinion behind the threshold is published by the European Food Safety Authority.
What the 800 mg EGCG limit means for your formulation and your label
- Calculate the EGCG delivered by the daily portion you actually recommend, not by 100 g of powder.
- State the EGCG content of the portion on the label.
- State the maximum number of portions to consume per day.
- Carry the warning not to consume 800 mg or more of EGCG per day.
- Keep the calculation and the lot documentation ready for the competent authority in your member state.
The EGCG figure for each reference is in the specification sheet, so the arithmetic can be done before the recipe is signed off and before the packaging is ordered. For the lot you receive, the certificate of analysis carries the current value.
How to order
- Open the page of the reference you want and check its published price per kilo.
- Order one bag or more, in the format shown on the product page.
- Confirm before midday for dispatch on the same working day.
- Receive the invoice, with the intra-EU VAT treatment applied once your VAT identification number is provided.
- Request the specification sheet, organic certificate or lot analysis when you need them, before or after the delivery.
Payment terms are confirmed when the order is placed, and the available options are described on the shipping and returns page. If your internal process needs a written offer before approval, we confirm the reference, the quantity and the price from the published grid without opening an account.

Matcha B2B FAQ: minimum order, pricing and documentation
What is the minimum order for matcha B2B?
One bag, whatever the reference. There is no account opening, no annual commitment and no volume target to reach before the published price applies. Private customers and professional buyers order under the same conditions.
Can I see a price per kilo without opening an account?
Yes. Every price is public, including the bag price and the price per kilo for each of the three references. The consolidated grid is on the matcha price per kilo page.
How long does delivery take to Germany, the Netherlands or Ireland?
Stock is held in Europe, so deliveries inside the EU travel without customs clearance or import duty. Lead times depend on the destination zone and are published on the shipping and returns page, together with the current free delivery threshold.
Which documents come with an order?
The invoice, always. The specification sheet, the organic certificate and the certificate of analysis for the delivered lot are available on request, and asking for them does not depend on the size of the order.
Does the EGCG limit apply to my product?
Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/2340 restricts green tea extracts containing EGCG, and a daily portion must stay under 800 mg. Whether your product falls inside the restriction depends on how it is presented and how much EGCG a portion delivers. We provide the EGCG figure per reference so you can run that check. This page is not legal advice for your market, and the food business operator remains responsible for the final label.
Do you offer private label and white label?
Yes. Private label and white label matcha is handled on the same three references, with the applicable quantities, packaging formats and graphics requirements described on that page.
Can I order several references at the same time?
Yes. The three references in our range can be ordered together, and each keeps its own public price per kilo. Mixing references in one order does not change the minimum, which stays one bag.
Do I need to open a business account to buy?
No. There is no account opening, no approval step and no minimum volume to unlock pricing. Any business can order from the published price list, and the price per kilo is the same for a first order and for a repeat order. If you need a quote document or a pro forma invoice for internal approval, request it before ordering and it is issued from the same public prices.
How are invoicing and intra-community VAT handled?
Invoices are issued in EUR excluding VAT. EU businesses holding a valid intra-community VAT number are exempt from VAT under the reverse charge mechanism, provided the number is verified before the order ships. Orders without a valid VAT number are invoiced with VAT applied. For recurring supply, standing orders can be arranged on the same public pricing, with dispatch from European stock on each release.
