A buyer sees a powder. A tea maker sees a series of decisions. This sample story explores how a manufacturer’s perspective could become useful to a café or a new brand.

Start with the cup.

Konnichiwa Matcha: What would you ask a café buyer first?

Aoba Tea Works (fictional): How will you serve it? We would start with the drink, the recipe and the experience you want your customers to have. A sample makes more sense when we know what you want to make.

Ask what consistency means.

Konnichiwa Matcha: What does consistency mean to you?

Aoba Tea Works (fictional): We would ask the buyer to describe it in their own terms. Is it the colour of a latte, the taste alongside milk, or how the powder works in their preparation? Those questions give us a shared starting point.

Leave room for the next question.

Konnichiwa Matcha: What if the buyer is still exploring?

Aoba Tea Works (fictional): That is a useful time to talk. Tell us what you know: the business, the intended use and your timing. The next conversation can make the questions more precise.
