Is your matcha Ceremonial Grade or Culinary Grade?
While we don’t personally use term “Ceremonial” grade for our matcha, our matcha is good quality matcha fit for lattes, enjoyed by consumers and we already supply businesses such as Cafes, and Matcha Popups nationwide.
Do you offer samples?
Yes, we do. Our sample pack lets you try all 4 matcha and 2 hojicha powders for PHP 1,000 (shipping not included), so you can find your favorite before committing to a bigger order.
What’s your MOQ?
Our minimum order is 50g per SKU, so it’s easy to start small. Once you order 500g or more, better pricing kicks in, which works well for cafes and home buyers looking to stock up.
Do you offer wholesale or bulk pricing for larger orders?
Yes. Pricing improves as order size grows, starting at 500g per SKU. If you’re a cafe or business looking to place a larger recurring order, reach out through our Contact page and we’ll put together pricing that fits your volume.
Do you supply home-based cafes or small businesses just starting out?
Yes, and we mean it. Our 50g minimum exists so home-based cafes, small coffee shops, and anyone starting their own matcha or hojicha business can order without committing to a big volume upfront. As you grow, better pricing grows with you.
How should hojicha/matcha be stored?
Keep chilled or refrigerated (0-5 degrees)

Do you ship nationwide?
Yes, we do! We ship throughout the Philippines via courier, or Lalamove.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Gcash, Maya, or Bank Transfer. We do not offer Cash on Delivery.
What is the difference between matcha and hojicha?
Matcha is stone-milled from shade-grown green tea leaves, giving it that vibrant green color and a rich, umami-forward taste. Hojicha is roasted green tea, which mellows the flavor into something toasty and nutty, with a warm reddish-brown color. Both come from the same plant. The difference comes from how the leaves are grown and processed.
Does matcha have more caffeine than hojicha?
Yes. A typical serving of matcha has around 60 to 80 mg of caffeine, while hojicha usually has about 7 to 20 mg, since roasting reduces the caffeine content. If you want the ritual without a lot of caffeine, hojicha is the gentler choice, especially later in the day.
