Shipping News

Re: Canada Post - For local orders in Calgary, as well as Red Deer and Edmonton, the delivery option will remain as normal.

For the rest of Alberta and Canada, excluding PO Boxes, we will be shipping by Purolator. There will be no difference in cost and you can continue to place orders as usual.

Re: US Shipping - Unfortunately services will remain suspended.

There are significant tariffs and brokerage costs requiring extensive documentation in place, and orders crossing the border are being severely delayed, rejected and lost.

Not the news we hoped to give but we will continue monitoring this and resume service as soon as possible.

While we continue to wait on our Matcha shipment, here's a great article to read on the situation:

"Importers scramble to secure supply, creating backlogs in matcha production at all factories," notes Chun. This scramble creates artificial scarcity beyond natural supply limitations.

Hoarding behaviors completely distort price signals throughout the supply chain. Buyers stockpile inventory, fearing future shortages and price increases. These actions amplify market volatility while disadvantaging smaller retailers and consumers. The cycle perpetuates itself as fear drives irrational purchasing decisions across all market levels."

From Kyoto’s tourist-packed cafés to Manhattan’s bustling coffee shops, matcha madness grips the world, propelling consumers across continents to choose matcha over espresso.

Update on US Shipping - We are working on resuming service but there are a lot of delays at the border with shipments being held up or even rejected as they deal with the new requirements. We are expecting more detailed procedures soon in order to help us avoid any issues once we start shipping again.

Thank you for your patience!
