DAVIDsTEA / Rishi-style sourced Japanese Sencha (via Japanese suppliers)

Japanese sencha for global blenders · Shizuoka / Kagoshima, Japan
Beverages Green Tea Ambient Established export

Japanese bulk sencha and matcha leaf from Shizuoka and Kagoshima suppliers is exported to global tea blenders and retailers (such as North American specialty-tea chains) as the green-tea base for branded blends. This B2B leaf trade underpins much of the 'Japanese green tea' sold under Western brand names. Suppliers provide consistent, MRL-compliant bulk leaf year-round. It is a high-volume ingredient export stream distinct from finished consumer brands.
