Why more cafes are putting matcha on the menu
Matcha has gone from a specialty item to a menu staple. Customers ask for it by name, it works hot or iced, and it gives coffee shops, cafes, boba shops, and restaurants a high margin drink that stands out on the board. One bag of matcha powder turns into hundreds of lattes, so the math works in your favor.
This guide covers what to look for in wholesale matcha, which grade fits your menu, and how to order in bulk from Matcha Sunday.

Shop this grade by the kiloWhat to look for in wholesale matcha
Not all matcha performs the same behind the counter. Here is what matters when you are buying for a busy menu.
- Origin. Real matcha comes from Japan. Ours is sourced from Japan and stone ground into a fine powder.
- Color. Vibrant green signals fresh, quality matcha. Dull or yellow powder means a lower grade or older stock, and it shows in the cup.
- Consistency. At volume you need the same color and flavor in every bag, so your drinks taste the same on Monday and on Friday.
- The right grade. The best grade depends on whether you are serving straight tea or milk based lattes, which we break down below.
- Bulk sizing. Buying by the 1kg bag lowers your cost per drink and cuts down on restocking.
Shop the three grades by the kilo
Which matcha grade is right for your menu
We offer three grades, each suited to a different job behind the bar.
- Culinary Grade is the workhorse for high volume lattes, iced drinks, and boba. It is bold enough to taste through milk, syrup, and ice, which is exactly what you want on a busy menu.
- Ceremonial Grade is smooth and vibrant, a great everyday choice for cafes that want a cleaner, more refined latte or to serve matcha closer to traditional.
- Masters Collection is our finest, made from 100% Okumidori. It is for premium tea service and signature drinks that earn a higher price.
Most cafes and boba shops start with Culinary Grade for the menu and add Ceremonial or Masters as a premium option.

Matcha for boba and bubble tea
Boba and bubble tea shops are some of the biggest matcha buyers, and for good reason. Matcha pairs naturally with milk, sweet syrups, and tapioca pearls, and its color makes for an instantly recognizable drink. Culinary Grade holds its flavor through ice and sweetener, so your matcha milk tea actually tastes like matcha.
How much matcha do you need
A typical latte uses about 2 grams of matcha, so a 1kg bag makes roughly 500 drinks. For a shop serving 20 matcha drinks a day, one bag lasts three to four weeks. Buying in 1kg bulk keeps your cost per drink low and your back of house simple.
