Wholesale & Café Partnerships

Wholesale Matcha & Tea from Kyushu

We partner with cafés, restaurants, bakeries, and retailers to bring thoughtfully sourced Japanese tea from Kyushu to the U.S.

After Tea focuses on small-batch matcha, hojicha, and seasonal teas with clear origin, transparent production details, and everyday drinkability.

Whether you are preparing matcha lattes for daily service or offering small-batch tins for retail, we help you share Japanese tea in a way that feels intentional, approachable, and grounded in origin.

Why After Tea

Sourced from Kyushu
We focus on teas from Kyushu, Japan, including Kagoshima, Yame, and other tea-producing regions across the island.

Built for everyday service
Our teas are selected for drinkability, consistency, and ease of preparation — from usucha to lattes.

Transparent origin details
We share origin, harvest, production year, cultivar information when available, and preparation guidance.

Small-batch releases
We prioritize thoughtful seasonal selections over mass-produced inventory.

Support for preparation
We provide guidance on preparation, latte workflow, storage, and customer-facing tea education.
