Hey GearHound! We are a matcha company located in Orange County, CA. We are a manufacturer of matcha with organic capabilities. We source the tencha in Japan from the oldest and most prestigious tea farms on auction. Then we blend the tencha before storage and grind it on demand and airship it to you.
We can also do private labeling!
Our typical sizes for bags are 20g, 100g, 1kg, 5kg.
We are mostly in the premium ceremonial grade matcha segment, but we do have a premium culinary grade matcha as well.
If you are looking for other Japanese teas, we also supply those as well (Gyokuro, Sencha, Hojicha, etc) along with matcha accessories (chawan, chashaku, chasen, etc).

I will only list TRUE ceremonial grade matcha. If it tastes unpleasantly bitter, sour, with hollow flavor notes when prepared in the KOICHA method, it is not true ceremonial grade matcha. There is no standard to labeling matcha in America so many companies falsely advertise their matcha as being ceremonial grade, when it is not in Japanese standards. Also, REAL matcha will not be made from anywhere other than Japan. Lastly, it is only organic matcha if it is certified organic under a JAPANESE certifying body. It can also have USDA Organic, but check on the product packaging and make sure there is a JAS Organic certification as well.
1.) Starter Matcha - [Magus Brands Premium Organic Matcha] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B3QN858). You can buy this on Amazon.
2.) Intermediate Matcha - Marukyu Koyamaen Gold Mark Organic. You can probably buy this on Rakuten or a Japanese e-tailer.
3.) Divine Matcha - Marukyu Koyamaen Tenju You can buy this on Rakuten or a Japanese e-tailer.
Summary of each:
Magus Brands Matcha - New brand on Amazon but as close to the real deal as you're going to get outside of the best brands Japan Domestic market. American customers will appreciate this flavor profile more than the top-of-the-line competition matcha in Japan due to its more milky and fresh vegetal taste than the seaweed umami taste. Near identical to Marukyu Koyamaen Gold Organic, but at a fraction of the cost.
Marukyu Koyamaen Gold Mark Organic. The BEST Organic matcha you will ever find in Japan, so pretty much the world. There is a hint of sweetness in the taste and smell, but there is no sugars added. You can tell immediately that these leaves are hand-picked from the first flush and the first bud on top of the tea plant. Be warned, you will never be able to go back to crap tier organic matcha after this. And by crap tier, I am referring to KissMeOrganics, matchaDNA, etc - the brands that spend all their money on buying fake reviews than developing a quality and authentic matcha for their customers.
Marukyu Koyamaen Tenju - Cost me about $65 for a 20g tin. This is the matcha I break out when President Obama visits my house! All jokes aside, this caliber of matcha shouldn't even be categorized with the rest of the matcha in the world. This is a national treasure of Japan in itself. I rationed this tin of matcha for a year, and on the last 2g serving I made, it smelled and tasted almost the same as the day I opened it. As for the taste of this matcha... absolutely divine! Imagine the most aromatic powder in the world coupled with a supremely mellow taste that complements the aroma. There is always a bitterness with KOICHA, but KOICHA made with this matcha is SWEET, BRIGHT, ANGELIC?!...I don't even know how to describe it!
I am heavily biased towards Marukyu Koyamaen matcha - it is the Dom Perignon of matcha. Everybody in Japan knows it, every matcha connoisseur outside of Japan knows it. The only American company that makes matcha even close to Marukyu Koyamaen quality is Magus Brands. They do source their tencha from Ikeda Seicha and farms that supply to Marukyu Koyamaen so that might be why.
