A Café Owner’s Guide to Choosing the Best Matcha Supplier in Melbourne

As the popularity of matcha continues to soar in Melbourne, café owners are increasingly recognising the importance of offering high-quality matcha to their customers. However, the success of incorporating matcha into your menu hinges on one critical factor: choosing the right matcha supplier. A reliable supplier can provide you with premium matcha that not only enhances your beverage offerings but also aligns with your brand’s values of quality and consistency. This guide will help you navigate the key considerations when selecting a matcha supplier for your café in Melbourne.

What to Look for in a Matcha Supplier

1. Quality

Quality should be the foremost consideration when choosing a matcha supplier. The difference between high-quality matcha and lower-grade alternatives is immediately noticeable in flavour, colour, and texture. High-quality matcha is characterised by its vibrant green hue, smooth texture, and rich, umami flavour with little bitterness. When selecting a supplier, ensure that their matcha:

Contains first harvests blends
The Shelf life is no more than 1 year (as it will have preservatives)
Contains Vibrant Green Hue

2. Reliability

Reliability in supply is crucial for maintaining consistency in your café’s offerings. The last thing you want is to run out of matcha or receive shipments that are delayed or inconsistent in quality. A dependable supplier will ensure timely deliveries and maintain the same high standard with every batch. It’s also important that the supplier has a transparent and efficient ordering process, allowing you to plan your inventory with confidence.

3. Pricing

While quality is paramount, pricing also plays a significant role, especially when you’re managing a café’s budget. Look for a supplier that offers competitive pricing without compromising on quality. A good matcha supplier will provide wholesale pricing that allows you to maintain a healthy profit margin while offering your customers a premium product. Additionally, some suppliers may offer volume discounts or flexible payment terms, which can further enhance your bottom line.

4. Customer Service

Customer service is often an overlooked aspect when choosing a supplier, but it’s crucial to your overall experience. A supplier with excellent customer service will be responsive, accommodating, and willing to work with you to meet your specific needs. Whether it’s handling a rush order, providing detailed product information, or offering training on how to best prepare and serve matcha, strong customer support can make a significant difference in your operations.
