Why cafés switch to Teafy

The supply chain behind every bag.

  • Most wholesale matcha comes via an importer who has never seen the farm
  • Ours comes from a farm where Teafy is the largest shareholder, graded in house and held cold in Melbourne
  • The colour in your cup in October matches the colour in May

Graded by us, not for us.
  • Every harvest is cupped and graded in house before it is bought
  • We know the farm because we own part of it

Barista rules that keep it green

Where café matcha goes wrong, and the fix for each.

  1. Keep the open bag cold. Heat and light dull the colour first and the flavour second. Fridge between services, sealed.
  2. Never boiling water. 75 to 80°C. Off the boil, or a dash of cold water in the jug first.
  3. Sift, then whisk, then milk. Powder straight into milk clumps. Make the shot, then build the drink.
  4. Dose by scoop, check by scale. A levelled 1 g scoop twice. Weigh a scoop once a week so the dose does not drift.
  5. Match the grade to the drink. Ceremonial when the matcha leads. Culinary or the Cafe Blend when milk, ice or syrup does.
Matcha latteThe spec above, hot or iced. The one people come back for.
Iced matchaShot over ice, topped with cold milk or water. Culinary holds the colour.
Hojicha latteSame build, 3 g hojicha powder. Roasted, caffeine light, an afternoon seller.
Matcha tonicShot over ice with tonic or soda. No milk, bright and sharp.
Retail at the counterThe 50 g pouch beside the till. Customers who order a latte take one home.

Wholesale FAQ

The questions trade buyers ask first.

Who can open a Teafy wholesale account?

Cafés, restaurants, grocers, health food stores, gift retailers, hotels, offices and food manufacturers across Australia. If you serve or sell tea to the public, apply. Marketplace sellers and resellers without a physical or branded online store are assessed case by case.

What is the minimum order?

For the retail range it is 50 units a line in pouch format. For bulk it starts at 1 kg a line. Cafés that already pour Teafy can start the retail range with smaller quantities to test the counter.

Where do you ship wholesale orders?

Anywhere in Australia, from our manufacturing facility in Clayton South, Victoria. Freight is charged at cost and every wholesale order is insured. Ask about international trade supply and we will quote it.

Can I get samples before I order?

Yes. Tell us which lines you are weighing up and we send samples so you can taste them with your own milk and machine. For bulk we recommend tasting the Cafe Blend beside the organic ceremonial.

Is your wholesale matcha certified organic?

The ceremonial, culinary and hojicha lines are certified organic (JAS) from our partner farm in Shizuoka. The Teafy Premium Cafe Blend is an all natural, non organic product; it is crafted in house for café service and labelled as such.

How is bulk matcha packed and how long does it keep?

Bulk comes in sealed 1 kg food grade bags with the batch code printed on each. Kept cold and sealed it holds its colour and flavour well beyond a normal café reorder cycle. Once opened, keep it refrigerated and sealed between services and use within a few weeks for the brightest cup.

Do you protect stockists from being undercut online?

Yes. Every partner sells at or above the published RRP, and teafy.com.au sells at RRP as well. We do not run website discounts that go below it, so the shelf price in your store is the same price a customer finds on ours.

Can you train our baristas?

Every partner receives the serve spec on a card for the machine, plus a short serve guide. For Melbourne cafés we can walk your team through the first service in person; elsewhere we do it over a call. It is included, not charged.

Do you offer private label or white label matcha?

Not at the moment. Our trade range is Teafy branded, and the bulk bags carry our batch code so your customers can trace what is in the cup.

What about GST on tea?

Tea is GST free under Australian food rules, so matcha and loose leaf invoices carry no GST. Teaware such as whisks and holders attracts GST, shown separately on the invoice.
