Whilst it is true that the global demand for Matcha has increased exponentially this year thanks to its virility, the versatility (Strawberry Matcha anyone?) and being an excellent coffee substitute, it doesn't mean Matcha is going to sell out anytime soon.
Over here at Matcha Yu Tea, our long term relationships with our tea suppliers in Japan mean that we have a consistently reliable quantity of Matcha with no stock issues.
However Matcha Lovers, take note. As high quality Matcha is harvested just once a year in May, there is a limited supply each year's 1st Harvest of that top-notch tea (often referred to as Ceremonial Grade).
Matcha Yu Tea has been fortunate to access high quality tea every year for you to enjoy. All of our Matcha comes from the 1st Harvest where the youngest, most tender and freshness leaves are picked.

If you want to stock up on your Matcha supply and ensure you're only drinking the good stuff, we are here to help!
