Asked Questions
What is the minimum order?
Hisa's minimum order is 1 kg per tea, small enough to trial on your bar before you commit a rail to it. We size the first order against what you actually serve.
Do you send samples?
Yes, Hisa sends 30 g sample bags of the teas you pick, as a small paid sample order. They're optional, and ordering by the kilo straight away works just as well.
How fast can I reorder?
Stock sits in our US warehouse and ships within the US. We confirm the ship date when you order.
Where is your matcha sourced?
Hisa sources its matcha directly from farms and processors across Shizuoka, Kagoshima, Miyazaki, Aichi, and Kyoto. With five prefectures, your supply is never tied to one region's harvest.
Can I see pricing?
Hisa's per-kilo price depends on the tea and your monthly volume, and shipping is included on cafe orders. You get the price sheet with your sample order or your first quote.
How do I start?
Tell us what you serve through the contact form, and we'll suggest teas for your menu. From there, order by the kilo straight away, or start with 30 g sample bags of the ones you pick.
Who is Hisa a good fit for?
Hisa is a good fit for cafes, coffee roasters, and restaurants in the US that serve matcha drinks or desserts and want to buy from US stock by the kilo, from 1 kg per tea.
Who is Hisa not a fit for?
Hisa is not a fit for home drinkers looking for a tin, or for businesses that need net-30 payment terms. Orders are paid when you place them, by card or bank transfer.
