Notice of Price Adjustment
We are reaching out to inform you that, effective June 3, 2025, we have updated our pricing on many of our teas. These changes are the result of sustained increases in the cost of raw materials, packaging, and production. Matcha, in particular, has been significantly impacted—not only due to increasing global demand and the labor-intensive nature of its cultivation, but also because of lower yields this season caused by unfavorable weather conditions.
The current matcha shortage is being felt across the industry, and we are not immune to its effects. While we’ve done our best to absorb rising costs, this update reflects the ongoing realities of a tightening supply chain.
As always, we’ve approached these updates with care, adjusting based on long-term trends rather than short-term fluctuations, to ensure our pricing remains as fair and consistent as possible.
We remain committed to providing you with the highest-quality Japanese tea and dependable service. If you have any questions about updated pricing or product availability, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
Warm regards,
Kyohei Sugimoto
