Who We Are
More than a tea
trading company.
JJ Market is a Japanese tea export company based in Japan. Through our brand Wakokoro Tea and our B2B operations, we deliver matcha and Japanese teas to customers, cafés, restaurants, distributors, retailers, and brand owners around the world.
We exist to connect Japan's outstanding tea farmers and manufacturers with the global market. While demand for matcha grows worldwide, Japan's tea industry faces an aging workforce and a shortage of successors. By opening new routes overseas, we help secure the future of Japanese tea culture and its growing regions.
And we deliver more than product — we carry the culture of Japanese tea itself to the world, one shipment at a time.
“We are not simply selling matcha. We are building a bridge between Japan's tea heritage and the people who will carry it forward — wherever in the world they may be.”
