Looking for a Reliable Matcha Supplier?

At Wakokoro Tea, we believe that exceptional tea begins with the people who grow it — and that preserving their craft is essential to the future of Japanese tea.

Wakokoro Tea

We partner directly with skilled, small-scale tea producers across Japan, from the misty hills of Uji and the sun-drenched plateaus of Shizuoka to the lush mountains of Kagoshima. These farmers are the guardians of centuries-old traditions, growing and crafting tea with deep care, precision, and pride. Through these close relationships, we ensure traceability, honest sourcing, and unmatched freshness.

But Wakokoro Tea is more than just a tea brand — it is a movement to revitalize Japan’s tea industry. As rural tea farms face aging populations, declining demand, and global competition, we aim to support sustainable growth by connecting producers directly with tea lovers around the world. Every purchase helps keep these traditions alive and supports the next generation of tea makers.

We don’t just offer authentic Japanese tea — we share the people, places, and purpose behind it.
