Beverage brands & café networks
Test Japanese matcha in your latte recipe or beverage formulation. Compare the impact on taste, preparation and cost per serving.
Resorts, hotels & F&B teams
Discuss one-property kitchen or café trials and selected hotel-branded packaging for gift retail, with wider adoption reviewed later.

CFIA · SFC · ENGLISH / FRENCH PACKAGING
Plan the Canadian import and label route
Canada’s CFIA framework places responsibilities on food importers. We can help gather available Japanese supplier details, while the Canadian importer confirms licensing, preventive controls, traceability and the intended packaging category.
CFIA & SFC licensing
The importer should determine whether a Safe Food for Canadians licence and preventive-control records are required for the specific matcha product.
Retail labeling
Most consumer-prepackaged foods require mandatory label information in English and French; requirements for qualifying commercial shipping containers can differ.
Lot & commercial documents
Review batch specification, available COA/testing, pack size, importer and broker arrangements, freight basis and destination province.

Procurement for groups.
Hotels can start with a restaurant, breakfast or lounge trial, then explore group F&B purchasing or hotel-branded tins, pouches and gifts. We can coordinate with a local food distributor when the operator already has a purchasing route.

Your purchasing brief comes before the container.
Quote requests should distinguish 500g/1kg commercial packs, selected private-label formats and volume supply. We assess the actual Japanese packing route and importer needs before quoting.

Purchasing FAQs
Questions from Canada buyers.
Can Canadian buyers discuss 100kg+ Japanese matcha sourcing?
Yes. We accept 100kg+ and recurring sourcing briefs from importers, distributors and larger beverage groups. Product allocation and pricing are reviewed for the selected grade, lot and shipment programme.
Can we compare Japanese matcha to our existing supplier?
Yes. We can organise a second-source discussion around use, flavour, colour under comparable preparation, origin preferences and your commercial target. Equivalent performance is not guaranteed without sampling.
Do we need bilingual English/French packaging?
Canada generally requires English and French mandatory labeling for consumer-prepackaged food, subject to specific exceptions. Some business shipping containers have different rules. The Canadian importer must review the actual format with applicable CFIA guidance.
Who confirms the Canadian importer licence and food safety records?
The Canadian importer confirms applicable Safe Food for Canadians licence, preventive-control, traceability and product labeling requirements. MATCHA PORT supports review of available Japanese supplier documentation.
Can a Canadian hotel or resort start with a pilot?
Yes. A hotel F&B team can discuss small commercial evaluation first, then consider recurring supply or hotel-branded matcha tins and pouches through suitable Japanese partners.
